Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I never would have thought of cherries in a million years. Thanks, June! I'll tell him.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Blueberries are good too, I think but I have heard cherries mentioned for years. You can get the cherry juice as an extract too in liquid or capsule. http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_view/1,1525,10015,00.html Prevent gout. This is perhaps the best-known use for cherries. Their benefits are twofold: The flavonoids help to reduce the high uric acid levels in the blood that are responsible for the development of gout itself. And flavonoids block the inflammation-causing substances released in the joint when the uric acid crystals start to accumulate. In a widely cited study published in 1950, Texas researchers reported that uric acid levels dropped to normal levels (and no further attacks of gouty arthritis developed) in 12 patients who consumed about a pound of fresh or canned cherries a day. A number of these patients also said they could move their fingers and toes--small joints commonly affected by gout--more freely once on the cherry regimen. http://www.mi-cherries.com/gout1.htm http://healthy.lifetips.com/Cat.asp__Q__id__E__6055 Cherry Gout Cure The most effective folk remedy we know for Gout today is the 6 Cherry cure. A Texan named Ludwig W. Blau, Ph.D discovered in the 1950´s that a diet inclusing 6 cherries a day cured his gout and helped get him out of a wheelchair and walking again. After many studies, other physicans have reported similiar effects of the 6 Cherries a day cure. They also claim that black cherry juice has the same effects. http://www.holistic-online.com/Remedies/Arthritis/arth_gout_folk-remedies.htm A traditional remedy for gout calls for 1/2 to 1 pound of cherries a day. If you do not want to stuff all that cherries into your stomach, you can take tablets containing concentrated cherry juice. According to a 1950 study of twelve individuals with gout, eating one-half pound of cherries or the equivalent amount of cherry juice prevented attacks of gout. Black, sweet yellow, and red sour cherries were all effective. Since that study, there have been many anecdotal reports of cherry juice as an effective treatment of the pain and inflammation of gout. Celery juice is another folk remedy for gout that is said to be widely used in Australia. http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_gout.htm has some good info on supplements, foods and remedies.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Addressing Gout Naturally! Dr. Anthony Cichoke has written a very clear and concise article explaining why gout develops and the recommended nutritional support and supplements needed to help reverse natually. Gout is a metabolic disorder caused by excessively high levels of uric acid in the blood due to either excessive production in the body or decreased elimination by the kidneys. The uric acid then deposits in the joints and sometimes the kidneys and other organs, It most commonly affects the big toe (a condition called podagra) but may also affect the ankles, insteps, knees, wrists, elbows, and the cartilage in the ears....A diet rich in fats, overindulgence in alcohol or food, and emotional stress can all trigger an attack of gout. Other triggers include minor trauma, surgery, fatigue, a penicillin injection, illness, and renal insufficiency. Risk for gout also increas- es with the presence of thyroid disorders, diabetes, kidney disorders, hyperlipidemia, anemia, vascular disorders, and hypertension. Enzyme Therapy Systemic enzyme therapy is used to decrease pain, swelling and inflammation and to stimulate the immune system. Enzymes improve circulation, help speed tissue repair, bring nutrients to the damaged area, remove waste products, enhance wellness, and build general resistance. Digestive enzyme therapy is used to improve digestion of food, reduce stress on the gastrointestinal mucosa, help maintain normal pH levels, detoxify the body, promote the growth of healthy intestinal flora, and strengthen the body as a whole. Digestive enzymes also serve as replacements for the body’s pancreatic enzymes, leaving the pancreatic enzymes free to perform other functions in the body, such as decreasing inflammation. (p. 239) Topical enzyme skin salves and creams are used to penetrate the superficial layers of the skin and decrease pain, swelling and inflammation. Papain and bromelain are helpful, particularly in combinations with other plant-based enzymes and cayenne powder. The following are also recommended supplements by Dr. Cichoke: • Superoxide Dismutase and catalase preferably micro-blended with whole foods such as red and blue green algae. • Acidophilus and other types of probiotics to improve digestion and stimulate enzyme activity. • Coenzyme Q10 of at least 120 mg a day. A potent antioxidant is always good to use when attempting to decrease inflammation. • Essential fatty acids from flax seeds or wild-crafted blue green algae to help strengthen cell membranes. • Fresh, enzyme-rich fruits and vegetables (particularly green vegetables) should comprise over 60 percent of the diet. They help increase the body’s excretion rate of uric acid. Be sure to include pineapples, papayas, figs, and sprouting seeds. If your body cannot tolerate raw fruits and vegetables, increase your intake of digestive enzymes, or sauté or steam your produce lightly. • Cherries, grapes and pineapples stimulate antioxidant activity, enzyme activity, and immune function. • Absolutely avoid alcohol, which can aggravate gout. • Decrease your protein intake. • A high intake of water and other fluids is important in the treatment of gout. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses per day. • Gout therapy may include pressure point therapy, massage, acupressure and alternating ice and warm moist packs. References: Dr. Anthony Cickoke.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Thank you, Carol! This is very informative. Between all of us, we are going to get rid of this guy's gout. He did lose a ton of weight. I believe he said it was over 200 lbs., so he undoubtedly had a lot of lipids in his bloodstream. :-) Lynn --- Carol Minnick <carolminnick wrote: > Addressing Gout Naturally! > Dr. Anthony Cichoke has written a very clear and > concise article explaining > why gout develops and the recommended nutritional > support and supplements > needed to help reverse natually. > > Gout is a metabolic disorder caused by excessively > high > levels of uric acid in the blood due to either > excessive > production in the body or decreased elimination by > the > kidneys.
