Gout is a type of arthritis, also called gouty arthritis and
is a build up of uric acid in the joints. It can strike at
any time and almost instantly. It is an excruciating,
throbbing pain in the joints that often hits at night. It
can even turn the skin red-hot and can leave the affected
joint swollen and extremely tender.
Even worse, an attack can last for days, with no feeling of an
end in site. It is very important that you take your health
seriously when it comes to gout prevention and treatment.
Gout can lead to and can be a precursor to all sorts of other
dangerous health effects including: high blood pressure and
kidney stones, to name a few.

Many people have found cherries to be very beneficial for
them. It is suggested that you only use fresh cherries.
Do not use canned cherries; these are missing many of the
most important vitamins and compounds needed to treat gout.
Try about ten cherries a day up to 1/2 pound. You may also
get some great success with 1 tablespoon of cherry juice
concentrate.
Charcoal has the ability to draw toxins from the body. Mix
1/2 cup of powdered activated charcoal with a few
tablespoons flaxseed ground to a meal (coffee grinder work
great for this) and enough very warm water to make a paste.
Apply to the affected joint. Cover with a cloth or plastic
to hold in place. Change every 4 hours or leave on
overnight.
*Warning* charcoal produces stains, so be careful.
Long known for its value in cooking, baking soda can have a
tremendously positive affect for gout sufferers. In fact, it
can help improve the positive effects of NSAIDs and can even
rid you of your gout symptoms completely. To use: combine
1/2 tsp with 8oz water mix thoroughly and drink, before
bed, upon waking and once every 2 to 4 hours. (Do not
exceed 4 tsp a day.)
