HIGH URIC ACID CAUSES GOUT

Uric acid is the byproduct of chemical compounds in your body's cells breaking down as part of the natural metabolizing process.
The acid produced in your body is processed through your kidneys and excess is expelled via your urine. Enough acid is retained for your body's benefit, e.g. to help look after your blood vessel linings, etc.
High acid levels can occur when your kidneys are unable to process normal acid levels, or, when there is too much acid being produced for your kidneys to handle, even if they are working at 100%.
When this occurs -- a condition known as hyperuricemia -- crystals can form out of the high acid levels and become deposited in your joints and tissue. These give rise to the symptoms of a gout attack.
YOU NEED TO LOWER URIC ACID LEVELS
To help during an attack, and between attacks, you need to lower uric acid in your body. You can do this using traditional drug-based medicines, or, like more and more people who suffer from gout, you can use natural gout treatments.
Drug-based treatment using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicines, and corticosteroids, etc., have proven to be very capable of reducing inflammation and relieving the pain of a gout attack.
And other drugs such as allopurinol and probenecid are very good at lowering acid levels in your body. But, because these only work as long as you take them, they have to be taken on a daily basis over a significant period of time.
And, as with most pharmaceutical drugs, they have many horrible side effects; vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, ulcers, stomach pain, bleeding, skin allergies, bone thinning, to name just a few.
Which is why people with gout all around the world are turning to natural gout remedies to reduce uric acid levels in the body.
YOU CAN LOWER URIC ACID IN THE BODY NATURALLY
Acid levels in blood can be reduced through home remedies for gout such as the use of herbs, fruits, vegetables and natural supplements, etc. There are so many out there, but here are 3 that gout sufferers have found effective:-
(1) Vitamin C - Studies have revealed that people who take regular vitamin C can lower their uric acid levels. You can get plenty of vitamin C from things like oranges, tangerines, mandarins, etc. But, during an attack, vitamin C supplements can bring great benefits very quickly.
(2) Cherries and Cherry Juice - Other studies have shown that cherries not only lower uric acid in the body, but also have natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. They are thus ideal during an attack, and, for maintaining lower uric acid levels to help prevent further attacks.
(3) Alfalfa - Alfalfa can help first neutralize, then reduce uric acid in the body. And for overall health it has many nutrients and minerals.
WHY YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN LOWER URIC ACID LEVELS
Regularly recurring gout can eventually cause you to have permanently damaged joints and / or kidney problems such as painful stones. And once you've had one attack you are far more likely to have more.
So it's imperative that you reduce your uric acid to a lower, healthier level, and, maintain it at that level. Now, whilst the above remedies can help, there are many more things to consider, one of the most critical being your diet.
