Gout

Uncle Chuckie, I have gout in my foot. What can I do to get rid of it?

As you know gout is caused by the rise is uric acid in the body. Some of the cause for the rise of uric acid is crash dieting, certain medications, overeating, stress, beer and other alcoholic beverages. Some foods that rises uric acid levels are sardines in oil, anchovies, organ meats like liver, gizzards and chitterlings. Even our lifestyle can contribute to the rise of uric acid. Lack of flexibility, stubbornness in the way you view the future and life, also a strong dislike of someone or a situation which causes stress.
Some ways to help lower uric acid is change in diet and lifestyle changes. A full body detox will lower your uric acid level. I like Daily Multi-Detox Program by Renew Life. Using an herbal blend from Nature's Way called Bladder & Kidney will rid your kidneys of uric acid and will strengthen your kidney and bladder. There are two hebal blends to help maintain correct levels of uric acid, one is by Solaray called Total Cleanse Uric Acid and another is Deodorex by Quality of Life Labs. Enemas will also reduce the levels. My favorite is to add 2-4oz of chlorophyll to the enema water. A sea salt enema is good also. If you use sea salt, add the sea salt to the water add let it dissolve before you put it in the enema bag. Or just a plain water enema will help. Use distilled or alkaline water and not tap water. Drink plenty of distilled water and/or alkaline water. Add an ounce of lemon juice to your water will help alkali your body. Eat plenty of dark green foods like kale, spinach, collar greens and broccoli. Dark berries, red cherry juice, flaxseed oil and olive oil is great. Omega fatty acids from tuna, salmon, halibut, flounder, pecans and hazel nuts are good.
Regular exercises is good too. Stop worrying about things you have no control over and start thinking more positively and create a better attitude.
