How to Overcome Gout Naturally | Dr. Josh Axe

Natural Remedies for Gout: bit.ly/2MENFiA
In this video, I’m going to share my top 6 home remedies for gout. Gout is caused by uric acid build up in the body.
First, I want to go over the best diet to consume when treating gout. You want to eliminate all grains, sugars, alcohol and processed meat products from your diet. In addition, I would recommend consuming a lot of vegetables, fruits, bone broth and organic meats.
My top 6 home remedies to get rid of gout naturally include:
1. Celery Seed Extract or Celery Juice
2. Black Cherry Juice or Extract
3. Nettles Tea (drink or supplement)
4. Fish Oil
5. Proteolytic Enzymes
6. Magnesium supplement

As a 30 year gout sufferer (71 YO), I found the following: Gout can be in any joint of the body - however most prevalent in the big toe. I had one attack in neck, many others in various joints. MD treatment and pharma meds on a daily basis did not stop my gout attacks. Gave up this strategy after about 3 years. Avoiding high purine foods and alcohol did not stop my attacks. Exercise and natural remedies helped more than any of the above. My daily cocktail was and still is: Dark cherry juice, turmeric, ACV, celery seed, fresh lemon juice w/pulp, cinnamon, black pepper. Even with the above cocktail the attacks become more frequent with age. Keto diet stopped all pain and swelling in 10 days. After that I switched from Keto to High Fat/Low Carb diet. Now, after 4 months, gout and related symptoms are still gone. I eat many foods that are on the DO NOT EAT if you have gout lists. Asparagus, mushrooms, pork, bacon, red meats, etc. Still drink some beer but in lesser amounts and it's low carb. Weight has decreased by 13 lbs. (now at ideal weight for my height) Blood pressure has decreased from ~150/78 to 120/71. Sleep is much better..... SUGAR is the ENEMY.

Amazing info. This morning I was literally in the parking lot of urgent care when I saw this video. I didn't go in, went to the grocery and got black cherry juice and celery. I put it in a blender together and drank it. Drank water throughout the day and then another Celery and black cherry juice concoction and at a little over 13 hours the swelling is almost gone. No ibuprofen at all. I know tomorrow morning I'll be ready to roll. Thank you!

Like alot of others, i too research on gout & there's alot of food that people with gout cannot take. In other words, there's alot of food that has been left out due to uric acid in alot of food. The pain of gout is like no other, & unless one has suffered from the arthritis, he/she will never understand the pain it causes. Really crucial..

[@dianasherwood9647]

My husband finally got control over his gout by drinking 4 ounces of no sugar, pure dark cherry juice EVERY DAY. not as a help when it attacks...but daily as part of his life, 2 ounces in morning and 2-3 ounces in late day.

[@dragonvue09]

Is this grain you're referring to includes rice

[@jackszumski7118]

The reason why grains cause inflammation in the body is because they are not human foods. Natural human foods do not require any processing just like all the foods of every single animal in this world. Grains like wheat have to be milled into a flour, combined with yeast, and cooked to achieve some form of digestion. Grains are survival foods for humans, not foods that the human organism can Thrive off of. Grains were created for birds and not humans. When in a survival situation, grains can sustain you but consuming grains for a prolonged period of time will inevitably cause dis-ease for everyone and anyone in the long run sine they are not human foods. Fruits, vegetables, nuts and herbs are our natural life-giving foods. Eating cooked foods are processed foods are decaying foods. The only other animal that eats decaying foods are scavengers. By eating dead foods, the human moves from the top to the bottom. If you ever wonder why there is so much death and disease in this world, you will find its source in the foods they eat. ✨Peace ✨Love✨ Harmony✨

I just had a really bad gout flair up while in the hospital. I was miserable for over 10 hours. So so much pain. I laid here and cried all night long. Me and one of the nurses knew it was a gout flair up but the house doctor wouldn’t approve a blood test to check my uric acid and they keep giving pain medication I knew wouldn’t help me. I had to wait for my Kidney doctor to come in and prescribe me the right medication. After taking the medication he prescribed I was paid free. The hospital made me suffer for 10 hours. Thank you for your video. Great info

July 2018 --- Dr. Axe is right-on. I'm sorry it doesn't work for everyone because Gout is a very painful thing. My right foot and big toe were killing me.. I bought 3 large bottles of Black Cherry juice. (not concentrate but the pure unsweetened stuff at $6.00 per bottle) & 2 heads of celery and 36 hours later I'm felling 90% better. That's because I drank & ate it all in 24 hours. It saved me, not sure it works for everyone but it did for me. I have no reason to lie. Good luck.

There are several ideas for treating gout naturally Thanks for your informative post, here area few more tips for a home remedy for gout... 1) Apple cider vinegar, apple cider vinegar is also used to treat stomach acid and headaches but what a lot of people don’t know is that it can also be used to help treat gout and arthritis. The acidity in apple cider vinegar will help relieve acute pain. 2) Ginger root, The anti-inflammatory properties present in ginger root can be very helpful in relieving pain and inflammation. There are many ways to use ginger root in the treatment of gout. 3) Baking soda, One significant factor contributing to gout is an increase of uric acid in the body. Baking soda can help reduce the amount of uric acid, giving you relief from the pain. 4) Lemon juice, To get relief from gout pain, it is essential to alkalize the body and neutralize the excess uric acid in blood stream. This can be done easily with baking soda and fresh lemon juice Along with lemon juice, also eat other fruits rich in vitamin C to strengthen the body tissues. (I learned these and why they work on Nakedra remedy plan site )

[@markthorpe7719]

I first experienced gout pain in both my big toes but mainly the right about 4 years ago and had a couple of flair ups in a year but didn't know what it was at the time thought I'd banged it or poor fitting shoes. It got a lot worse to the point of 1 attack every month lasting around a week. I also had urinary problems (stingy wee) By the time I got to see my doctor the attacks had subsided so blood tests came up border line for uric acid. Until a specialist confirmed it was gout and could take medication for the rest of my life. I was unprepared to do this and looked a little deeper into alternative ways to eliminate not mask the problem. I have been free of gout now for 3 months and my solution was the following. Apple cider vinegar 2tbs. 1/8tsp of borax. Sour cherry and apple juice 300ml in a litre of distilled water 5 days a week drunk throughout the working day. Supplements also chanca piedra and magnesium citrate. Vitamins d, b12, c, turmeric, glucosamine. Avoid purin foods, fatty foods cut back on alcohol especially wine. Odd beer at the weekend. I'm not saying this would work for others but seems to be doing the trick for me but give it time but the results have been fairly rapid. Chanca piedra flushes the liver and kidneys and breaks up the crystals, think this this has been the key player tbh.

[@LastTrump7]

@@driftx2 it’s the way your body don’t get rid of Uric acid…that causes gout. Anything that has a lot of purines in it raises Uric acid. Red meat, fish, seafood, organ meat, beer….a keto diet….etc..I am 67 years old and have had gout probably at least once a year for twenty years….mostly in my big toe or ankles. Either foot. Prednisone will normally stop the worst pain in about 3-5 days but takes awhile for your foot to get back to normal with zero pain. I am average weight. 5’ 7” male 158-168 lbs. Any injury to your foot can cause a flare up. Riding a bicycle or turing my ankle will sometimes bring a flare up on. Doing squats or putting a lot of pressure on your feet will definitely aggravate it. At your age I would definitely talk to your doctor about getting your Uric acid down either through diet or medication because years of gout attacks especially that long will do harm to the bones in your feet, knees and sometimes hands. It has more to do with the way your kidneys don’t get rid of the Uric acid then it does about your weight though being overweight does make it worst it is not the cause as you can see in your case.

I’ve had gout in my big toes. Although I’ve only had one flare up because I’ve watched my diet, specifically sugar and I never drink alcohol. But diet never fully cured it until I had acupuncture. It took 2 treatments twice a week for 3 weeks. It wasn’t until the 4th treatment I felt any difference so don’t quit too soon. Also, Make sure you go to someone trained by the Chinese and not a chiropractor that took a short course in acupuncture.

A few thing I've found that help are exercise and water - lots of each. To get rid of gout in 24 hrs. Well anyone with it would know that it comes on slower than it goes away but packing it in ice appears to halt the exothermic reaction. I make up ice packs with a heat sealer machine so the packs are really cold and last for hours. The ice is pretty painful in itself but one just has to yield to that and let it do it's thing.

I saw one doctor on the internet argue that your body produces massive amounts of uric acid naturally so there is very little one can do to reduce uric acid in the blood. Furthermore he contends that it is a myth that uric acid causes gout. He contends that gout is inflammation caused by sucrose. Personally, I found that for those of us poor sods who are predisposed to gout attacks, ANYTHING that disrupts your usual metabolic processes can trigger an attack. There are those who eat healthy and exercise and still get attacks. Eating healthy and exercising does not mean that your body cannot be exposed to a stress that can cause a gout attack.

I've found very limited success from taking tart Cherry juice. It may have dialed back the pain 20%, but it certainly didn't put out the fire. However, I tried something tonight that had an instant soothing effect. I didn't read about it, I just started to crave it. That substance is Wholegrain Mustard. I had some on a sandwich with cucumber and the pain started to go away instantly. It turns out that mustard seed has ample amounts of curcumin, the same compound found in turmeric. Curcumin is a powerful substance to reduce inflammation in the body. I think I'll make it a regular part of my diet.

There are a few suggestions for solving gout naturally That was a very interesting post, here area few more tips for a home remedy for gout... 1) Apple cider vinegar, apple cider vinegar is also used to treat headaches and stomach acid, but what a lot of people don’t know is that it can also be used to help treat arthritis and gout. The acidity in apple cider vinegar will help relieve acute pain. 2) Ginger root, The anti-inflammatory properties present in ginger root can be very helpful in relieving inflammation and pain There are many ways to use ginger root in the treatment of gout. 3) Baking soda, One significant factor contributing to gout is an increase of uric acid in the body. Baking soda can help lower the amount of uric acid, giving you relief from the pain. 4) Lemon juice, To get relief from gout pain, it is essential to alkalize the body and neutralize the excess uric acid in blood stream. This can be done easily with baking soda and fresh lemon juice Along with lemon juice, also eat other fruits rich in vitamin C to strengthen the body tissues. (I learned these and the reasons they work from Nakedra remedy plan website )

I never eat either though out the year other than thanksgiving. Both attacks have started days after thanksgiving. I don’t care for Turkey but ham I do enjoy but it’s not worth the pain. I’ve eaten steak multiple times per week, fatty foods multiple times, cases of beer, etc. all of the high purine foods and I’ve never had an issue until thanksgiving.

Why do you recommend avoiding carb but recommended eating fruit? It’s the fructose in fruit that breakdown into uric acid which in the acidic environment in your body that form monosodium urate crystals that deposited in the joint that cause gout. Glucose from grain can be use by the body for energy and it does not breakdown into uric acid.

[@garypreman6298]

Here is something I theorized, tried and it works for me on my big toe and on my heel..........At the first sign that you are about to have a flareup; take a shower and after rinsing, rub the affected area with your fingers such that you create a vibration on the skin (a slip/slide if you will). This action should break up the crystals before they have a chance to multiply and cause a severe flareup. I would be carefull if you are having a severe flareup as you could cause damage by the crystals if they are severe. I use to get several instances a year now I do this excersize regularly as a preventative and havn't had an episode in the last 4 years. Years ago I use to drink the black cherry juice and that did help but the process I described works great for me. PS: some soaps that have lubricity to them may prevent that slip/slide from occuring so you may need to try a differnt soap prior to rinsing. Also, I would warn against using a powered device on the area as that will most likley cause damage to your bones, easy does it! By the way, I eat everything now without issue!

The quickest and IMO the healthiest form of relief without introducing more toxic drugs (colchicine/NSAID's) to my body has been bloodletting. Traditionally an Eastern medicine practice, bloodletting of the affected joint immediately reduces pain and inflammation, and within 24 - 48 hours I regain normal use of the joint. I'm no longer debilitated for days or weeks on end. Hope this info helps sufferers out there like me find relief.

Second, stay away from salted pork, like that sweet one many people celebrate the holidays with..... Have you ever just mindlessly gorged yourself with peanuts??? Peanuts (high protein) are a killer for me. Lastly, this is not a natural cure, but I've found that Ibuprofen (2 or 3 tabs) before bedtime can seriously help with recovery.

Developed a severe gout attack in the largest joint of my right toe 10 days ago. First one in about 8-10 years. Oddly, I had just planted a Montmorency Cherry tree in my yard. Think what set me off was poor food choices, dehydrating myself so I could attend a football game (recent treatment for bladder, peeing very often), and then deciding to have a beer at the game (I don't drink). Toe sore the very next morning, and hurt too bad to drive hours later. Fully involved by the next morning, with the worst swelling and pain I'd ever had. Foot was round. Found a cold bottle of tart cherry concentrate with turmeric and ginger in the fridge. Drank it all, and later in the day, felt it working. Then had a big bowl of ice cream as a comfort food, and took some aspirin. Even worse by the next morning. So then, I was hobbling to the bathroom to pee from the bladder treatment still working on me every 20-30 minutes, and I drank two cups of cold water at the sink on every visit, and took aspirin to try to stop the pain again. Spraying my foot with Solarcaine and having to keep my foot in a bucket of cold water for relief. This goes on two more days. Called my Dr. and asked for help. He called in a methylprednisolone pack for me. Began taking that, and added acetaminophen 1000 mg twice a day. By the next morning I was able to walk. Since then, have been drinking strong cinnamon tea and chewing tart cherry tablets. Other than foot still a little too swollen to wear a shoe for long periods, I'm mostly functional. This video, with it's recommendation of celery seed extract and bromelain will help me fine tune things.
