my results with a uric acid supplement

[skyking]

Time to update this little jewel.
I got off that diet and that reduced my proteins intake a lot. I fell away from taking the supplement about a year and a half ago.
I had a really bad weekend with family playing cards and eating rich foods, and now I have my first round of gout. Yippee!

Treatment of Gout with TCM Using Turmeric and Corn Silk: A Concise Review Article and Pharmacology Network Analysis

This work aimed to study the compounds, targets, and pathways of turmeric and corn silk for gout and to explore the mechanism of “the same disease with different treatments” based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. We used ...

I would say that turmeric (with a sprinkling of black pepper and mixed with extra virgin olive oil) is safer to use than corn silk (diuretic with potential for harm).

The colchicine and 600 MG ibuprofen doses knocked it out quickly. I will keep it elevated today and take more until it is really gone.

Gout fckn sucks. I've been taking allopurinol for about a year. Since I started, I've had a few gout attacks, but they've been milder and shorter duration.

Most of my gout attacks are in the metatarsals…feels like I broke a bone in the top of my foot. The first one, that’s exactly what I thought it was…couldn’t walk on the foot. Went to the urgent care, got an x-ray…bones were perfect. Doc said, “ I dunno…maybe gout?” Had a Uric acid test at my pcp, yep…it was elevated. ( not horribly high that day, but still enough to justify the allopurinol.)

Better read this about the cause of gout :
I know clean water without fracking chemicals or without dissolved methane can be a problem in some states in the USA :
But there are some good ideas you can try out in this post, also about gout and the how and the why :

Small excerpt form the text :
"
Short story :
Drink lot of water, urinate often to lower the uric acid levels in the body and watch the amount of purines in the weekly diet.

Had/have carpal tunnel syndrome? Had surgery, it's working out.

I have it, severe, in both hands. First knew I likely had an issue with it over 20 years ago when I had a difficult to diagnose and treat left shoulder problem. That came crucial one day almost 30 years ago while doing my daily 2 mile lap swim. Had to stop and I have never tried lap swimming...

Such a way of life might reduce your medical issues and might allow for you to use less medicines and therefore have less issues with possible side effects from the medicines. Everybody happy.

Also, drinking water often, allows for the stomach to remain filled and the effect is a reduced desire to eat because of feelling full. The best way to let the body slowly use stored fatty tissue we all have.
And the sweating cleans up the pores, makes humans look happy especially after a shower. Both the people who shower and the people around them. I know all about it.
And as extra plus : The digestive system and the skeletal muscles will love you and you will have a lot less muscle cramps and more physical strength and more physical endurance...

I know you used to exercise regularly. Does that help with more blood flow and sweating gunk out of your pores?

 

[skyking]

I don't know about all that, I do know that it gets more difficult to get going after several years and the gout is not helping.
