I’m a vegetarian and it helps me keep gout under control; however, it’s not a cure. I still get gout attacks every once in a while on the joint of my right foot. I wish there was a medical procedure that would eliminate gout for good.
Gout crystals are …
Gout crystals are uric acid which is found in toe and finger joints. This uric acid can lose it’s liquid state and become yellow crystals, often visible below the surface of the affected area. The crystals eventually break to the surface, and turn out to be chalky. This usually ends the gout problem temporarliy.

good video but his english accent is so heavy, I barely understand what he’s saying.
Arthritis is …
Arthritis is inflammation of a joint and can be due to several reasons and one of them is gout. Gout causes arthritis because of the crystals which are deposited. No clear cause for this as this can happen even if the uric acid leve in the blood is normal! So the best way to diagnose gout is by clinical presentation and if needed aspiration from a joint of the fluid which will show the needle shaped crystals whcih are negatively birefrinant under a special light.
You can also …
You can also increase the urinary uric acid excretion/solubility and prevent stones by taking sodium- or preferably potassium-bicarbonate (to avoid calcium excretion) or potassium citrate; raising the urin pH from 4.5 to 6.5 increases the solubility significantly. The reduction of crystals to act as a nidus for other precipitants and reduction of supersaturation therefore reduces stone risk factor significantly. Along with 2 liters of water per day, including at night.

i’m just wondering if sudenly your girl friend calls and spoil on the phone, then the duration of this video will be soooooo loonnggg…..:))))

where is the order of the labs? what u gonna do first
and also u just reading a book. like differential diagnosis
u didn’t even say how u gonna differentiate between things. just gout and pseudogout u didn’t mention WBC in aspirate, what it should be.
u didn’t even mention any presnetation. when to use uricosuric and when to use allopurinol.
and when to start using each of them and when u can’t usee probenecid.
This doesn’t help …
This doesn’t help me. I have gout and I’m a vegetarian. My doctor told me I have very low uric acid levels. What should I do????
I was just informed …
I was just informed about my uric acid being high from a blood test. So it looks like I will be eating more raw veggies…I had the gout once…they gave me the shot..but the food treatment is better I assure you. Good video though, here.
1 Tblsp of natural …
1 Tblsp of natural cider vinegar taken 3 times a day in a glass of water if you cant take it straight will help pain, and its natural without the side effects from the drugs which quite ofter cover the symptoms instead of getting rid of them.

Kindey dysfunction/chronic kidney disease and the subsequent renal diet can also cause gout. Low potassium helps uric acid come out of solution in your body.

Here’s the gist of what was said…
The problem with gout is too much uric acid.
Acute Gout: treat with colchicine or NSAIDs.
Chronic Gout prophylaxis of recurrent attacks (which doesn’t happen in up to 20 percent of patients) is done with allopurinol (reduce production of uric acid) and probenecid (excrete more uric acid, so don’t use on patient with uric acid stones).
