Gout is a kind of arthritis caused by hyperuricemia (elevated concentrations of uric acid in the blood stream). This medical disorder occurs when there are deposits of urate crystals in the connective tissues (joint, for example) provoking an inflammatory reaction of these tissues and, sometimes, kidney damage.

Unfortunately, many people allow doctors to prescribe pain killers for their gout problem. Though you might find temporary comfort, you should know that this will only last months to a few years. In the long run, people who use pain killers for gout as their only treatment are very likely to permanently disfigure the joint.

Remedies:

Many natural remedies, often born in folk tradition, have been attributed to easing the symptoms of gout for various reasons. Following is a list of alternative home remedies though in many cases there is no scientific proof about their effectiveness. Still, they are cost-effective and generally harmless.

1. You should drink at least 10 to 12 eight-ounce glasses of water each day. Water will help your body flush the crystals out of your system. And another bonus tip is to drink alkaline water with a pH greater than 7. I believe SmartWater would be beneficial.

2. You may also wish to add a half teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water too. Baking soda has multiple benefits to gout sufferers including dissolving uric crystals, increases solubility of uric acid, and maximizes the volume of body fluids to aid the kidney in excretion of uric acid.

3. It has also been shown the gout sufferers are typically deficient in key vitamins. One vitamin you should immediately supplement is vitamin A which lowers the levels of uric acid.

Recommended Diet

• If you are obese, try to lose weight by consuming a hypolipidic and hypocaloric diet (foods low in fat and calorie);

• Drink more than 2 liters of water per day to eliminate excess acid uric from your blood;

• Drink abundantly carrot and citrus juice (lemons, oranges);

• Eat a low purine diet (Green vegetables, carrot, tomatoes, Fruits and fruit juices, Breads that do not have yeast, etc):

Eliminate or decrease the following foods in your diet

• Avoid high in purine foods (Kidney beans, Mushrooms, Beef, Pork, Bacon, Lamb, duck turkey, beer, Alcoholic beverage, etc.);

Causes:

• Lack of urinary elimination;

• Lifestyle - those who consume alcoholic beverages and diet rich in red meats are more at risk;

• Race - American blacks and British people are more likely to develop gout;

• Genetic - If your parents have gout, you have a chance of developing it;

• Excess production of uric acid from the metabolism of proteins.

Although much of a natural gout remedies program revolves around the food you eat, there are many other issues to consider when getting to grips with a natural remedy that's right for you. For example, did you know that things like your weight / body mass index, body's pH levels, general health, any underlying medical condition, medications, lifestyle, family history, etc. all contribute to your propensity to get gout and ability to prevent it returning.
