What You Should Know About Gout Control
Gout (gouty arthritis, metabolic arthritis) is a metabolic disease where uric acid deposits build in the tissue and joints causing inflammatory reaction.
Uric acid is a very potent and necessary antioxidant vital to our DNA and RNA.
Uric acid is an end product of purine metabolism.
Purines are organic compounds found in all body tissue and cells and also found in the foods we eat.
Overproduction of uric acid and/or under-excretion by the kidneys leads to the excess storage in the joints, tissue and organs causing inflammatory response.
This reaction results in hot, shiny and very painful joint(s) known as a gout attack.
It is by far the most painful form of arthritis and poses one of the highest risks for joint degeneration and deformity if it is not gained control of properly.
Gout Stages • Asymptomatic (Hyperuricemia) • Acute • Intercritical • Chronic In the Asymptomatic Stage you will likely find high uric acid levels in the blood without the presence of any symptoms.
This does not dictate the inevitability of a gout attack, but can certainly increase the risk.
Hyperuricemia can result from excessive purine metabolism producing uric acid, under-excretion of uric acid by the kidneys, and possible high levels of fructose in the diet.
Natural measures to correct would be advised.
The Acute Stage is the presence of the first attack which typically befalls one joint.
Any joint is susceptible to an attack, although many find the big toe to be the first.
A flare up can cause excruciating pain to an area becoming red, hot, shiny, swollen, and very tender to the touch.
Sometimes a fever is present as well.
A mild attack can last a few days and a severe one up to a few weeks.
Intercritical is the time in between attacks.
This can occur for several months up to several years, although most find the second attack to take place somewhere between six months and two years from the initial flare up.
The Chronic Stage of gout can burden one with frequent severe attacks and usually involving more than one joint at a time.
Tophi can form in the joints, bones, cartilage, and other places in the body.
Tophi growths are large nodules of uric acid deposits and are more likely at this stage.
The chronic stage of gout imposes much higher risks of kidney stones and damage, hypertension, and joint deformity.
The progression through these stages must be stopped and best in a natural form that the body can recognize and respond to appropriately.
Your health and livelihood is dependent on it.
By slowing cellular and tissue degeneration, increasing kidney filtration and liver function, enhancing the digestive and immune functions, and creating a better diet and water balance, we can in turn shut down the factors leading to this storage and attacks.
It is not as complicated as it may sound and will actually change the way you view and value your health as a whole.
Gout is a warning sign that your body and health may be in jeopardy.
A chance to change the risks involved and stop the pain is not only possible, it is guaranteed.
