Gout Holistic Treatment

Gout is a common form of arthritis caused by excessive amounts of uric acid in the body.

1. 事実

   • Approximately 70 percent of people with gout produce too much uric acid; the remaining 30 percent cannot properly eliminate uric acid from the body.

   要因

   • About 25 percent of people with gout have a family history of the disease. Obesity and poor diet also increase the risk of gout.

   症状

   • The first symptom of gout is acute pain, then the affected joints become inflamed, red, swollen, hot and sensitive to touch.

   専門家の洞察

   • 栄養士のフィリス・A・バルチは、痛風の攻撃が起こると、2週間、できればジュースの形で生の果物と野菜のみを食べることを推奨しています。 Frozen or fresh cherry juice or diluted celery juice may be beneficial.

   考慮事項

   • 痛風を持つ人々は、アンチョビ、サバ、貝、アスパラガス、肉のグレービーとスープ、ピーナッツ、パン屋、醸造者の酵母、キノコ、イワシ、甘いブレッドなどのプリンが豊富な食品を避けるべきです。 Thyme and thyroid extracts can also cause problems if taken for long periods.

   予防/解決策

   • Deficiencies of vitamins B5, A and E can promote gout. Homeopathic remedies using belladonna, arnica and rhus toxicodendron may be helpful.
