Gout is a common type of arthritis that occurs when an excessive amount of uric acid in the blood, tissues and urine crystallizes in the joints. People who have gout are unable to break down and excrete uric acid, a byproduct of digesting certain foods.

In people with gout, the body does not have enough of the digestive enzyme uricase, and, as a result, uric acid builds up and crystallizes.

To simplify, stop eating meat and eat more citrus.

RECOMMENDED SUPPLIMENTATION

B complex One to three 50 mg tablets of the complete B complex daily, plus 500 mg of pantothenic acid (B5) in divided doses to assist the body’s conversion of uric acid into harmless compounds.

Bromelain 500 mg twice daily as an anti-inflammatory.

Fish oil Take 2 grams of fish oil capsules 2x a day to reduce the chances of gouty inflammation.

L-glutamine 500 mg four times daily on an empty stomach – is an antacid.

L-glutathione 500 mg twice daily on an empty stomach – increases renal cleansing of uric acid.

L-glycine 500 mg four times daily between meals – acts as an antacid.

L-methionine 250 mg twice daily on an empty stomach – detoxifies purines.

Magnesium citrate 400 mg three times a day – an antispasmodic to relieve pain.

Shark cartilage used on a daily basis of 3-6 capsules/day can make the pain disappear and allow you to eat previously forbidden foods within one week without experiencing pain in the affected joint. After approximately one month of continuous use, you may stop taking the cartilage until the pain reoccurs. At this point you will probably only need to take the cartilage (3-6 capsules) for a week or two. You may continue this on/off cycle as needed. Your uric acid level may return to normal, but even if it doesn’t, the pain will go away.

Tissue salts To prevent the formation of uric acid crystals, take two tablets of 6X Silicea three times a day. During a gout attack, increase the dosage to three tablets and add an equal amount of Nat. Phos. and Nat. Sulph.

Vitamin C 1,000 mg per hour at the very outset of a gout attack, then reduce to 500-3,000 mg daily for maintenance. Vitamin C helps lower serum uric acid levels.

Vitamin E Low-purine diets are low in vitamin E and fried foods deplete it, so supplementation will be necessary as a deficiency can contribute to the formation of excess uric acid. Begin with 100 IU of natural vitamin E, and slowly increase to 6-800 IU daily.

I’m new here and it’s the third day of my juice fast. I read your blog and wanted to tell you a few important things.
1. 1/2 way is not “only”. It is a big success and you can be proud of it. Getting half way through means you ARE able to do this, it’s just your mind that tries to stick to habits that it knows. Think about it as an absolute revolution for your mind. For all those years you learnt it the routine of eating and now you want to change the rules. It needs your support, your assurance that it’s ok. It needs to know that you want to enter a new part of your life and you can do it only if you work together. I know it may sound strange, but if you think about your mind as a child, that for several years was told to behave in certain ways, it’s easier to imagine that it needs time and support to accomodate to the new situation.
2. A spiritual breakthrough may not be up to you but getting to the point where it is more possible is totally up to you – just believe it

We all find our own path to the Spirit. Fasting is a wonderful gift the Lord has bestowed upon us. It was day 14 of my first 30 day fast that it “began” for me. And it only gets better! Your time will come, because you want it! And you keep trying! That is the key. The Lord is blessing, and guiding you!

You, and your intentions are in my prayers. Ron

There are great longings in my heart for change – Not something I want to write about…but the grief and sadness overwhelms. Anyhow here is to one day at a time and I only have to fast till bedtime. Tomorrow is a new day. Thank you Tom for this service and the opportunity to do this. I doubt I would have been as motivated otherwise, but reviewing the benefits really helped. God bless you all. Regards. Richard.

Monday May 3rd – A new day – A new week – Will start now. Juice today and water only starting tomorrow. Lots to deal with, especially as it relates to work to the lack thereof. Stress leads to depression and eating junk. This is an opportunity to really snap out of it and to challenge long held beliefs about everything especially weight and health and exercise. Want my friend to join me, as he gives fasting great lipservice but not ready. It is 20 days from Pentecost and the next three weeks are a time reflect, as this too is a desert experience.
