Vitamin A and D-fish oil is good stuff. Vitamin D provides nutritive support for normal, healthy skeletal growth, strong bones and healthy calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Vitamin A provides nutritive support for healthy skin, bones and teeth.

Alkaline foods will reduce your acidity levels.

Alfalfa, barley grass and wheat grass are all very alkaline and will help.

Most fruit and vegetables are alkaline and some like beetroot, celery and asparagus are strongly alkaline.

You can find further information in a search for "alkaline foods".

Red meat is probably one of the worst foods for acidity because its uric acid content is very high.

Firstly when you feel a flare up do the R.I.C.E. technique

Steer clear of Aspirin, it makes things worse. Use ibuprofen.

Cherries contain compounds that neutralise uric acid in the blood, & are also anti inflamitry. You’ll need to eat aprox 20 cherries to get the same pain reliving effect as one aspirin.

Daily doses of fish oil or flax seed oil can ease the inflamation in the joints. (It must be fish oil, not cod liver oil as this contains too much vitamin A & D.)

Another thing is ‘Bromelain’, an enzyme found in pineapple. to achieve a theraputic effect a product must contain 2000MCUs (milk clotting units)per gram. Check the labels before you buy. The usual dosage is 500mg three times a day between meals.

Fresh celery, or tablets containing ‘celery seed extract’ seem to help eliminate uric acid. the usual dose is 2 to 4 tablets a day.

Nettle leaf also helps to lower uric acid levels. Experts recomend 300 to 600mg of freeze-dried extract a day.
Don’t use nettle for more than three months at a time.
AVOID nettle in tincture form, it contains alcohol which will agrivate gout!

And of course drink lots of water, but that go’s without saying.

Avoid: meat gravey, offal, sweetbreads, shellfish, anchovies, sardines, herring, game, fried foods, refined carbs eg:white flour, oatmeal, yeast containg foods eg:baked goods, also certain vegetables:peas,beans,spinach, and cauliflower.

If you are mug enough to believe in herbalism why not try some dogs dung with mustard-custard and avocado…..and if you can get it at a health food shop in a minute quantity it will be 7 pounds per turd………more if the dog needs his cut of the profits.

Personally I think Indomethicin is best for gout, but you need to have a good stomach and protective cover. Why not consider Allopurinol????
