“Got Gout?” is the slogan on the popular T-shirt that all the Red Sox pitching staff are wearing. Red Sox teammate David Wells has been a sufferer of gout throughout his carreer. The main symptoms of gout are severe pain and inflammation in the joints. Sometimes even the pressure of a bed sheet can cause a person excruciating pain. If gout is left untreated it can lead to more serious problems such as kidney disease and high blood pressure.

Gout is caused by the body producing more uric acid than the kidneys can process and eliminate, causing it to build up in the joint. The body naturally produces uric acid; it’s also found in certain meats and fish. Gout sufferers may have inundated their body with foods high in uric acid or foods that cause high uric acid production, or their kidneys may be struggling to eliminate toxins from the body, uric acid being among them.

David Wells of the Boston Red Sox is not alone in suffering from this affliction. According to the Mayo Clinic, more than 2 million Americans suffer from gout symptoms. The Mayo Clinic also states that Gout is one of the oldest known diseases. It has been recognized for more than 2000 years.

There are a few basic options for treating gout, ranging from high-cost corticosteroid prescription medications to changing your lifestyle habits and low cost phyto-pharmaceuticals (plant-based medicines) that have been used for decades and are prescribed on a daily basis in Europe and Canada.

To cope with the pain, most sufferers use ibuprofin or a prescription pain reliever. For some this can help manage the pain, but doesn’t end it completely because it doesn’t address the cause of gout, but merely a symptom. Also, using medications like this on a daily basis can lead to negative side effects including stomach pain, bleeding and ulcers, liver damage and rebound headaches (headaches caused by drug overuse). Physicians have found that corticosteroid perscriptions such as cortisone and prednisone can help lessen the inflammation around the joints. This can help relieve gout symptoms of inflammation for a while, but comes with a long list of side effects including bone thinning, high blood pressure, mood swings, weight gain, cataracts and high blood sugar. And like pain relievers, it is only a temporary solution since it only addresses a symptom of gout, not the cause.

Some people can manage some of the gout symptoms by carefully watching what foods they eat. For those who choose this option regular excercise is essential in maintaning the disease. But according to published research, gout doesn’t have to be a problem you resign yourself to live with by “maintaining” it. As trends in health begin to shift towards more natural alternatives, gout sufferers are beginning to realize they can get real relief from the piercing, jarring pain caused by gout, without prescriptions or their side effects.

Based on numerous studies, Selmedica Healthcare has designed a product with ingredients that have been proven to help breakdown and dissolve any current uric acid crystal build up and prevent any future accumulation. Uricrylâ„¢ was designed based on several studies, research, and tests performed by a variety scientists and researchers, as well as current trends in health and medication in Europe and Canada. Several of the ingredients in Uricrylâ„¢ are prescribed daily to treat gout and its symptoms in countries like Germany, England, France and Canada.

The ingredients in Uricrylâ„¢ can help relieve the pain and prevent the crystals caused by gout from forming. Better yet, if taken on a continuous basis, the ingredients in Uricrylâ„¢ can help your body eliminate the excess uric acid produced by your own body, improve circulation, reduce inflammation and pain caused by the uric acid crystals in the joints, and reduce the overall uric acid in your body. Also, Uricrylâ„¢ does not contain any aspirin, which can slow down the excretion of uric acid.

A one month supply of Uricrylâ„¢ is , nowhere near the cost of currently prescribed drugs and seems to be much more effective as it directly addresses the cause of gout, not just the symptoms. Selmedica, like several other producers of phyto-pharmaceuticals, offers a 100% money-back guarantee for up to a full year after the purchase date of Uricrylâ„¢, with no questions asked as to why the product is being returned.

Memphis, TN (PRWEB) March 4, 2006

In January, Vice President Dick Cheney was rushed to the hospital, suffering shortness of breath, a result of fluid retention in his lungs. The fluid in his lungs was caused by an anti-inflammatory prescription that Cheney was taking for gout in his foot, thenewstribune.com reported. These anti-inflammatory pills are a common treatment for gout, though they often have strong side effects.

There are many treatments available to people suffering from gout, such as pain relievers, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and prescriptions, such as Prednisone. Unfortunately most medicines that are prescribed to treat this condition are often too severe. The side effects of these treatments can often leave sufferers of gout feeling worse than before.

Jim Mitchell from Tulsa, Okla. originally took prescription medications to treat the gout in his joints, and suffered terrible side effects. “About six months ago I had an attack and my doctor prescribed Colchicum and it made me extremely sick after only several days”

Mitchell stopped taking Colchicum because he couldn’t stand the side effects. In desperation, he turned to an herbal supplement, Puricil. “In less than two weeks the pain was gone using Puricil. I have been taking it faithfully ever since with hardly a twinge now,” Mitchell said.

A spokesman for Selmedica Healthcare Corporation said, “Puricil capsules include ingredients that help to foster the elimination of excess uric acid and the lowering of the total uric acid in your body, which promotes relief and prevention of gout and its debilitating symptoms.” For more information about Puricil, visit www.Puricil.com.

Today, almost all types of disorders have drug based treatment and a corresponding natural remedy. In fact, natural remedies are giving some pharmaceutical companies a run for their money, since they are now more popular.

The gout disorder is one of those disorders where sufferers would much prefer the natural remedy for gout in order to avoid the side effects of drug medications. Hence, knowing what gout is, its symptoms, and how to avoid it, we should also learn about the natural remedy for gout:

Cherry Juice Gout Cure

There is quite an interesting story about cherries as natural remedy for gout and how this was discovered. In 1950, a certain Texas doctor was so afflicted with gout, it kept him confined in a wheelchair.

Finding himself hungry, he picked up a bowl of cherries since it was the only one that appealed to him. He was surprised to find all his gout pain and inflammation gone the following day and was certain that the bowl of cherries was the only thing different he ate the previous day.

From that day on, this doctor consumed 6 cherries a day until he became totally gout-free. His gout returned only after he stopped eating cherries. This then confirmed that the cherries did cure his gout. The Texas doctor collaborated with the family physician and they tested cherries as natural remedy for gout for 12 other gout sufferers.

Sure enough, his findings were proven true; the twelve patients became free of gout for as long as they ate cherries. These findings were scientifically verified; in fact the doctor’s works were included in the Texas Reports on Biology and Medicine Vol. 8, No. 3, 1950.

About ½ pound of fresh or canned unsweetened cherries is the recommended quantity for consumption to make the remedy effective for gout sufferers. If you’re going to take cherries in its juice form, drink those that are concentrated and unsweetened.

For this matter, studies have shown that any dark red cherries or even blueberries is effective in reducing the joint swelling among gout sufferers.  Drinking cherry juice, blueberry and Hawthorne juices provide a welcome alternative for some of your water intake requirements.

Other Natural Remedy for Gout:

• Chickweed Tea – Drink about 1 cup of chickweed tea, apportioned into four parts and taken about four hours apart. To make the chickweed tea, boil about a teaspoon of chickweed to one cup boiling water, then let it stand for several hours and strain the tea before drinking.

• Hops Ointment – Mix 1 tablespoon of hops to 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter; combine the mixture very well then use it by applying on to the gout-affected areas.

• Lilac and Vodka – This is a homemade medication with a little kick but should be taken only as drops. Combine two tablespoons of lilac blooms to seven hundred ml of vodka. Take fifty drops of this concoction three times a day and before having your meals.

Even the simple ascorbic acid is potent enough as an effective natural remedy for gout. Vitamin C can also be very effective in reducing uric acid levels.
