GOUT

Gout is a type of arthritis that attacks the joints of the fingers, wrists, ankles or toes. The area afflicted is normally inflamed, swollen and extremely painful to the touch and even the slightest breeze can cause excruciating pain. Gout is the malfunction of the kidneys not being able to eliminate the uric acid out of the body. If the joints are red, the spleen is also malfunctioning.
To treat the problem, you need to work on the kidneys, spleen, stomach and liver. A sluggish liver can trigger the stomach and spleen to malfunction and there is a chain reaction. The wood element (liver) can destroy the earth element (spleen and stomach) and then block the flow of the kidneys (water element). Fixing the kidneys alone will only take away the symptoms but it will recur again and again. There is a need to change ones diet and bad habits.
It is imperative to avoid high protein and high cholesterol foods such as beef, duck, crab, lobster, oyster, prawns, shrimp and anything barbequed and/or fried.  Also avoid alcohol, cold beer, ice drinks, bananas, cucumbers, spinach, cold salads, jasmine, black and iced tea and any other cooling food.

To help speed up the healing process, one can eat chicken, pork, fish, brown rice and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Gout sufferers are often people who sit for hours watching TV or go to bed with a full stomach. Others have sex after they have just eaten a large meal. When the stomach is full this is not healthy. We drain the energy which is supposed to be used to digest the food and then the spleen and stomach weaken. They then drag the energy of the liver down, which next drags down the kidney energy, creating a domino effect. Other problems may also arise besides gout; such as hepatitis, irritable bowel and hernia. Treating the problem using an herbal formula from Herbal Alternative .ca can certainly control the problem. Cir-Q-lation L.K.T. (#6B) or Easepayn (#4) with Vigor-X (#2) are two different combinations that quickly eradicate the gout symptoms. If you stay on the combination for six months or more, the possibility of eliminating the problem is very good. Treating the ROOT of the problem is mandatory as in all health concerns. Patience and discipline are necessary to achieve health and wellness using TCM.
