>Gout is urea crystallizing in the muscles of the extremities...< Yes it is, there is no doubt about that part, except it's not just the muscles, it's the blood stream and it usually falls with gravity to the lower extremities. For an active right handed person, that will usually be the right big toe. An office worker may get it in the hips.
It's the next part that ain't necessarily so: >caused by over consumption of proteins. protein=nitrogenous waste=urea. Cut back on meat...< Gout is like mouth ulcers, everybody knows what it is, but nobody has pinned down the preceding cause. The statement above may be true for some, but not for all, and most certainly not for me or near-extreme carnivores like me. To make a long story short, I cured my gout permanently over 10 years ago by eating a rare steak at least twice a month, and usually once a week. Well done wouldn't do it and hamburgers wouldn't do it, and certainly no other meat would do it. It had to be a rare steak or rare rib roast. In layman's terms, it made my kidneys go back to work. In short, I peed my gout away. This will not work for everybody to be sure. I certainly hope the cherry cure works well for all who use it, but my harsh glycemic response would never handle that. Yum I just finished off a huge ribeye, oops gotta go to the bathroom.... Daddybob >and above advise along with drinking a lot of lemon or lime juice and water helps alkalise the body.< And yes I agree with doing that anyway! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
