Gout - The Age Old Disease of The Rich

Gout is just one of around 150 different conditions referred to as arthritis. Gout is a metabolic disorder which causes excruciating pain and swelling.

Gout is a form of arthritis that produces intense bursts of joint pain and affects millions of people, with men being the most susceptible.

References to gout go back thousands of years and have normally been labeled as a result of over indulgence, due mainly to the close connection with the wealthy and their rich diet. We now know that gout can attack anyone, regardless of diet.

Gout symptomatic tend to come on very quickly and usually include, severe burning pain and swelling. The most common area effected is the big toe.

Gout tends to be more severe in people who experience symptoms before the age of 30. Gout sufferers who also have diabetes or kidney problems may find their gout attacks to be far more frequent.

Gout is a chronic condition caused by an uncontrolled metabolic disorder, hyperuricemia, which leads to the deposition of mono sodium urate (uric acid) crystals in tissue around the joint. Hyperuricemia means too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is the by product of purine nucleotide catabolism .

Studies indicate that almost 1% of the adult population may experience symptoms of gout at some time in their lives. Frequent attacks of gout, left untreated can lead to joint deformity and in some cases damage to other organs.

Treating Gout

While some will describe gout as an incurable disease, much like other terms of arthritis, they would be wrong. Gout can be treated successfully without drugs, using only natural practices. A combination of alternative methods can easily treat all of the underlying factors known to contribute to gout.

Drug treatments which might include NSAID'S may seem like the answer, however this may actually make the condition worse. Personal experience has shown me that the quickest and safest way of relieving gout is by using a natural approach.
