As stated by Dr. Gillian McKeith in her popular book, you are what you eat! Gout is a result of what you put into your mouth. Gout is a benchmark of how much meat and alcohol you have consumed through out your life.

There are many different theories on how gout comes about. Some say it is because of the lack of certain enzyme in to body that can help to get rid of the excessive uric acids. Some say it is because of the weaken kidneys that failed to excrete the uric acid through urine properly. Some even say it is because of family genetic inheritance.

What ever the reason it may be, one thing for sure is that gout is proven to be a disease of a 'rich' lifestyle. As more and more people having good life as a result of rapid economy development, more and more people will join the rank of gout army.

Why Gout Does Not Happen to Most Other Mammals?

Whenever it comes to discussing about gout related issues, one primary topic is, "What causes gout?" Then people will start pointing fingers at the over consumption of high purine foods such as organs meat, sardine, anchovies, mushrooms and the list goes on.

Purine is a natural organic compound exists in all living things. The amount of naturally occurring purines on earth is enormous. Out of four bases found in DNA: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine two of them (adenine and guanine) are forms of purine. Other popular forms of purine are caffeine found in coffee and theobromine (the compound that gives chocolate its bitter taste).

Every day there are millions of body cells die, and this will result in huge amount of DNA being broken down to release those DNA bases. Guanine will go through a process called deamination which break down guanine to xanthine by an enzyme called guanase, then another enzyme, xanthine oxidase will then oxidize xanthine to uric acid.

Uric acid is the final end products of purine degradation in humans and higher apes, but the degradation process goes one step further in most other mammals. There is another enzyme called uricase which further transforms uric acid to allantoin. Does that name sound familiar to you? Allantoin is a popular ingredient found in a wide range of beauty products! Take a look at the ingredients list of some of the facial creams.

Scientists believe that uricase did exist in our ancient ancestors, but somehow along the process of evolution, human lost the ability to produce uricase in the body due to some sort of enzymatic defects. This could be what the factor to that is responsible for all types of gout, primary as well as secondary.

Since purine or uric acid does not occur in excessive amount inside most mammal body, why we, human get a huge surge of uric acid in our blood after consuming the meat from these animals, especially their organs? Why for some gout patients, consumption of just small piece of these meats will suffer the gout attack within hours?

Two major animal organs that contain high concentration of purine are the liver and kidney. This is because that is where the purine degradation process takes place. Huge amount of purines will be carried by the blood to these sites to be broken down to uric acid and then allantoin which will eventually get out from its body through the urine of feces.

How Can You Treat Gout at Home Before Visiting a Doctor?

Gout is a sudden attack that hits you anytime without any early warning signs. Usually it strikes when you sleeping soundly in the middle of a cold peaceful night. Out of nowhere you feel a sudden pain in your big toe, ankle or knee as if someone hit it with a big hammer.

In some cases, the condition is so severe that the victim cannot even walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water and take some aspirin. Aspirin might help to relieve the headache that you are having as a result of not enough sleep or worry over the swollen joint, but aspirin has no effect on getting rid of the burning pain at the affected joints.

Then you might think of using some ice bag or soak the whole foot in the a bucket of icy cold water hoping that will somehow numb away the intense pain. It works! But after thirty minutes or so when the freezing effect is gone, your nerves are back to action sending all those pain signals to your brain, again.

The same temporary effect applies to warm water soaking too. When soak your painful feet inside the slightly below boiling temperature of hot water, you will feel a sudden soothing sensation that makes you temporarily forget about the pain you had before. When the temperature drops, the pain signals will soon override the comforting signals produced by the warm water. As mention in my previous article, it is better to use warm water instead of cold water if you do not want the gout condition to become worse in the future.

If you are far away from the nearest hospital, maybe you are on a vacation or what. You can try the baking soda treatment to temporarily lower down the uric acid that causes the gout attack. You must also drink plenty of water to help flush away those excessive uric acids.

Take one tea spoon full of baking soda (or chemically known as sodium bicarbonate) and mix it with a glass of water and drink it all with an empty stomach. After 30 minutes or so, take another glass of baking soda water to further boost the neutralization of uric acid.

DO NOT consume more than 4 tea spoons of baking soda in a day! If you have some other health complications such as hypertension or on certain course of medication, baking soda is not for you. Remember, this is just a temporary remedy and you must seek proper medication as soon as possible.

Your Highness! Congratulations For Getting the Disease of Kings - Gout!

Throughout history, gout has been associated with rich foods and excessive alcohol consumption, a lifestyle that could only be afforded by the wealthy class of the society. In the olden days, the kings and their loyal families were the only group of people who had the luxury to enjoy all the meaty food and drown themselves in the sea of alcohol.

They shown signs of gout attack at very young age and it became acute and chronic at the later part of their life which also resulted in other health complications such as heart disease and kidney failure. This is why some of them died at relatively young ages. This is why gout was popularly known as 'The Disease of Kings' or 'Rich Man's Disease'.

Wondering who were the rich and famous in our history books that suffered from gout? Just to name a few prominent figures here, among the famous gout patient are Alexander the Great, Charlemagne or Charles the Great, Leonardo da Vinci, Voltaire, Sir Isaac Newton, and Charles Darwin. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If people were more openly discuss about their health problem, more cases will be recorded and you will be surprised by the thousands of names that were listed.

King Henry VIII, who lived from 1491 to 1547, was a famous victim of gout. It is well known that in his later life, he was abhorrently overweight and suffered from gout and possibly syphilis. However, he had been a very active man in his younger days. It was an accident in 1536 that made him suffered a thigh wound which prevented him from any exercise or physical activities.

Now look back at our modern lifestyle, can you the number of King Henry VIII among us? It is as if everybody is living the king's life. Nice food is abundant and is very much affordable compared to the last few centuries.

It does not take a wounded thigh to cripple us or stop us from some healthy exercise. Cinema-like LCD TV, Computer games, Play Station are just portion of things that stops us from being physically active.

Continuous consumption of highly acidic food and lack of exercise (which promote blood circulation and detoxification) will result in excessive accumulation of uric acids which will crystallize in the joints and trigger gout attack. It is totally up to you to decide to be a healthy king or gouty king.

What Food is OK to Eat For a Person Who Has Gout?

Gout is a direct result of your diet habit over the years. The more serious your gout condition is the more items you will need to strike off from your list of favorite food. You will be shocked when you see the list of food you cannot eat, which is almost 90 percent of your favorite. Instead of telling you a long list of food you can eat, it is more practical to explain to you what food you should avoid.

When you consume too much food which has high purine content such as organ meats, sardines, anchovies, mutton, and the list goes on... Most of them are high protein food from animal sources, but even some non-meat food which are high in purine too, common one that is often heard of associate with gout attack are some mushrooms, peas, beans and cauliflower.

Purines are natural substances found in all cells because it is the vital part of DNA structure. Millions of cells die within our body in a day. As cells are broken down through various bio-chemical mechanisms, significant amount of purine will be released and these free floating purines will be further broken down to uric acid which will eventually excreted out from the body through urine.

You are adding extra burden to your body if you continuously eat in more purines. Your liver and kidneys will have to work extra hard to get rid of those excessive uric acids and it will reach a point when it can take it no more and this is when those uric acids seep into your joint and crystallize to urate crystals that trigger your gout attack.

If you want to reverse the process, not only you have to minimize or cut off (the hardest thing to do) your high purine diet, you must also eat more food which is classified as alkaline food to help detoxify or neutralize those excessive acids that accumulated in your body over the years.

This change of diet is not like the slimming program that last only for a few weeks or months. In order to get rid of or cure your gout, you must gradually shift your eating habit from carnivorous towards the herbivore side and keep it so for as long as you can. It is like paying back the 'debt' over the years. Well, it is okay to be omnivore sometimes. After all, food is part of joy in life. Just like many aspects of life, do not over-indulge.
