However, I’m an optimistic kind of guy and when the gout struck, I did what I’d always done with health problems up to that point in my life - I ignored it, hoping it would go away. Big mistake. But you already know that, I’m guessing.

So to cut a long story short, I bought a few gout treatment guides on the internet and tried them all out. (I must admit, the no-quibble money-back guarantees offered by all the suppliers made this easier!)

And, after a fair amount of research, I found one that worked, was well written, and scientifically sound. And, as I say, it worked for me. It’s written by Barton Publishing and it’s called Cure Your Gout – click on this link to go there now.

Barton Publishing have a long and honorable history of producing reports about common conditions that clearly explain how to (1) get relief from the pain and (2) stop the problem happening again. Their report on gout maintains this tradition: it’s clear, straightforward, practical and honest. It’s also well balanced – for example, they tell you how medical remedies and gout home remedies compare in effectiveness.

One thing that really speaks to me is that they have a medical doctor on their staff who writes these reports – so you know you’re getting the real thing, with practical ideas that really control and even eliminate the pain and symptoms of gout. Here’s what they say in the report: “Drawing from current research and folk remedies alike, the report will help you to live with gout. You’ll learn how you can take control of your gout and manage a relatively pain-free experience….. this report will help equip you with the tools necessary to control the adverse affects of the disease through proper medication, diet and preventative treatments. When you take the first step to educate yourself about gout, you will begin a lifetime of health that will not only help you with gout, but will have a positive impact on your entire life.”   I can vouch for that, because their approach, using natural home remedies, worked for me: I am now pain free. Check out this amazing report on how to deal with gout here.

What’s in this report? I’ve extracted this list of contents from the Barton Publishing report:

Chapter 1: Overview of Gout. Learn what it is, what causes it, the 4 stages of gout, who’s at risk, how it is diagnosed, what are the signs and symptoms and typical complications of gout.

Chapter 2: Gout Remedies. Learn about traditional medication remedies, diet remedies and alternative treatment remedies that you can easily provide for yourself, in your own home. This is where you can learn about natural gout home remedies.

Chapter 3: Living with Gout. Discover what you can do as a gout sufferer to manage your episodes, pain and frequency. Learn what you can do to ease the affects of gout and to limit and/or eliminate the disease’s chronic damage.

Chapter 4: Concluding Thoughts about You, Your Health and Gout. Consider your role in your overall health and contemplate what opportunities a pain-free life would offer you.

Of all this fantastic material, I was most excited by Chapter 2, which is packed full of information about some powerful and easily obtained natural remedies. I’d heard of some of these - ginger, for example – but some of the most powerful anti-gout treatments were new to me – Buchu tea and cayenne pepper, for example. And I really liked the way they combined information about natural gout remedies and the medical approach using NSAID drugs (among others) – they explain how the two strategies can be used independently or can be truly complementary.

This is a very exciting report, packed full of great information, and while it’s impossible for me to go into detail about everything they say, I can assure you it’s profesisonally written and will give great hope to all gout sufferers. Indeed, there are so many treatment options and gout home remedies available that you’ll obviously find a way to eliminate the pain and symptoms of your own gout. It comes highly recommended. In fact, if you have gout, it’s indispensable.

Are there any downsides? Not really – but I would draw your attention to a series of offers they make once you’ve decided to get the report. You may or may not want these extras (they include things like getting a printed copy through the mail or joining their advice service on natural remedies for other conditions) – but if you’re not interested, please just carry on clicking your way to the final screen where you can get the gout report. It’s not a hassle to click ”no” to the offers, and you certainly shouldn’t miss the opportunity to end gout pain once and for all. Once more, the link to their report is here:

What I did was to find a gout home remedy on the Internet. So, just in case you don’t want to read any more, but you want something that will give you almost instant gout relief, here’s what helped me: go straight to it now, a gout home remedy by a medical doctor…..Cure Your Gout – click on this link to go there now.

Needless to say it soon dawned on me after my first attack that this was classic gout in my toe joints. You’ll know the symptoms all too well, I’m sure: the sudden attack of excruciating pain that is almost unbearable, made worse by the slightest touch of the bedsheet at night, the throbbing that precedes an attack, and the weeks that go by where there are no symptoms whatsoever and you think everything has cleared up.

I’ve spent the recent part of my life working on the Internet, and I’m very well aware that there are plenty of scamsters out there making money from people suffering by offering home remedies for all kinds of common complaints. However, I also have a scientific background – I have a degree in biology, in fact – and I’m now a writer, so I like to think I’m very well qualified to make good judgments about the self-help remedies that really can help, and the ones that are, shall we say, less than reliable!

Not only that, but as you know – this is the point at which I heave a sigh of well, resignation, I guess – I actually have gout myself, so I had to find something that helped me. And having done that, I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t help you as well. Try it out now, because you have a 60 day money back guarantee if it doesn’t work, so you really do have nothing to lose (except of course that agonizing pain).

Sufferers will be aware of the intense pain caused by gout but I would like to assure patients that remedies, both from the medical profession, and home remedies, are available. In this article, I will explain the nature and causes of the disease and then deal with the gout home remedies available.

What is gout?

Gout is a medical condition, essentially a form of arthritis, characterized by frequent recurring attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis, which results in reddened swollen joints. It is usually men who are affected but can also be found in post menopausal women or those women who take a little too much alcohol!

It is caused by a build up in the bloodstream of a substance known as uric acid, which is harmless in small amounts but toxic at high levels. 

Several factors can cause excessive uric acid including hereditary tendencies, kidney failure, excessive weight loss and bad diet. But by far the most common cause of excessive uric acid and consequent gout attacks is a bad diet, especially excessive alcohol.

Due to the high correlation between what we think of as a rich diet and gout, the condition used to be regarded as an affliction of the prosperous class. It was known as the disease of kings or the disease of the rich. Now with social reform and economic advancement, we all have access to rich food and alcohol and therefore gout is rather commonplace. Fortunately, gout home remedies are within reach of us all.

What causes gout?

It is not easy to pinpoint the exact cause of gout but we do know that excessive uric acid is caused by ‘good living’. This basically means excessive consumption of certain foods such as alcohol, sweetened colas and drinks, red meat, shellfish and any sugary product.

One particular foodstuff that is a trigger for gout is alcohol. Statistics show that gout sufferers are usually prone to excess consumption. It follows that healthy living and physical fitness together with a good diet should stave off gout (as well as many other debilitating diseases). As always, home remedies are easy to apply, and that’s just as true for home remedies for gout as well as many other conditions.

Conventional Treatment & Remedies For Gout

An acute attack of gout will usually disappear without treatment within a week. However, most sufferers will have a second or subsequent attack within a year. Sufferers of gout are at increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, and renal and cardiovascular disease.

Without treatment, gout attacks may develop into chronic gout with the ensuing destruction of joint surfaces and joint deformity.

The conventional treatments recommended by most doctors are a variety of drugs and possibly physiotherapy. These are some of the drugs conventionally used. Steroids, particularly Glucocorticoids, are considered to be effective when injected into the joint.

NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are a common first-line treatment for gout, but are not recommended for those with certain other health problems such as heart problems or gastrointestinal bleeding. Colchicine is an alternative for patients unable to tolerate NSAIDs.

The problem with all these treatments, as well as all pharmaceuticals, is that they tend to treat the symptoms rather than the cause and they produce side effects which are often worse than the original disease. I think it is therefore most advisable that sufferers look for natural home remedies for gout using products that can be found in your local market or health food store. The following are just some of the products available:

Natural Home Remedies For Gout

Cherries
The common cherry, a delicate yet commonplace comestible, is one of the best home remedies for gout. Cherries contain anthocyanins, an antioxidant which helps to relieve inflammation as well as reduce the possibility of a gout attack. Eat about twenty cherries a day, throughout the day, starting as soon as you wake up. After a week, you can reduce the number of cherries you consume. It is best to eat fresh cherries. (A delightful gout remedy, don’t you think?)

Apples
Apples are as an excellent source of malic acid which neutralises the uric acid and affords relief from gout. Just take one apple after each meal.

Ginger
If the gout occurs in the toes, a good gout home remedy is to soak the feet in a mixture of ginger and water. This causes mild sweating which helps to eradicate the uric acid. Just mix 1/3 cup of ground ginger into the bathing water and soak for half an hour. Be sure to clean the feet with clean water afterwards as ginger can cause skin irritation once the skin dries.

Mustard
Make a paste of equal parts of wheat flour and mustard powder with a little water. This paste should be applied on the distressed area and left overnight for effective pain relief.

Vegetable Juices
Raw vegetable juices are an excellent remedy, particularly carrot, beetroot and cucumber. Use a liquidizer to make the juice and make a cocktail of your favourites. Try to drink a pint a day, not all at once but with regular doses throughout the day. This is a powerful home remedy for good health in all ways, not just gout.

Lime
Lime is a good source of Vitamin C which is known to prevent inflammation and cure sore joints. Also, the citric acid in limes counteracts the effects of uric acid. Take the juice of half a lime squeezed into a glass of water twice a day.

Charcoal
Make a paste of water and half a cup of charcoal powder and soak the infected foot completely for half an hour to obtain pain relief.

French Beans
French beans or string beans liquidised into a juicer have proved effective in treatment of gout. Take a cupful daily. 

Herbal remedies
Some of the herbs that are effective remedies at home against gout are ginger root, cayenne, feverfew, boswellia, devil’s claw root, meadowsweet flower tops and leaves, white willow bark, and liquorice. All these herbs contain powerful anti-inflammatory properties which will relieve pain.

Conclusion
Basically the cause of gout is a bad diet and unhealthy living. The simplest - or at least the easiest – remedies for gout, in a way, are those prescribed by your doctor; however, the most holistic home remedies are made from natural products. And please don’t forget that gout can be prevented by a good diet with not too much alcohol consumption. As I observed above, the best gout home remedy is the simplest – diet and lifestyle changes.
