How to Overcome Gout Naturally | Dr. Josh Axe

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

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!

OMG !! Dr. Axe .. I LOVE YOU !! Youjust saved my Life !! I was bedridden for 14 years from a fall then I had surgery on my hip and was being weaned off 60 mg Morphine Twice Daily to 5 mg once daily (which took a year) when my right foot swelled up and my hip that I had surgery on began to hurt 100 times worse than be4 Surgery and a Nurse told me I had Gout. WHAT !! I never even heard of it !! I've been trying to find a cure to no avail till I ran across this Video. You Dr are a Godsend !! I Prayed for you. I was on the verge of ending my life. I can't thank you enough. I don't drink or smoke but I was eating grains .. I will keep you in my Daily Prayers till the day I die. May God Bless you and yours with ALL Bounty !!

My husband just did the treatment suggested in the video. All horrible symptoms went away within 24 hours. Thank you doc!

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. We were very surprised; he even has a beer now and then. Has worked very well for a couple years now

I hope this works because I'm laying in the floor crying right now.

I don't want to be hyperbolic, but I think this video saved my life!! I'm not sure if I have gout or extensor tendonitis. I had major ankle injuries from basketball all my life, so hard to say now at age 48 what is happening with my feet. Over the past 10 years I have about 2 flare-ups per year. That said, this year, over the past 5 months I've had on and off pain for almost the whole time. I didn't want to try everything recommended in this video at once, so I just did the cherry juice and celery seed extract...in 48 hours my pain is 98% gone. Thank you for this video man, I'm grateful!!!

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.

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..

[UNIMPEEDED]

Add 1/3 teaspoon of baking soda to 2 tablespoons of Apple cider vinegar and wait for the fizzing to stop, then add it to 1 cup/250ml of water and drink every morning.
If you eat fresh along with water every day your health will improve greatly. I have stopped buying and eating anything that comes in packages, I eat chicken/meat or fish with a salad for dinner every night and along with lemon in water for taste my health is amazing. People say I look like I'm in my late 20's but I'm 45yrs old. Ever since I nice I started eating this way my senses have improved dramatically.

Many gout patients and they are stunned when they realize the grains are causing serious issues. Keep up the great work Dr. Axe.

[chriswheeler]

Have suffered gout for over 20yrs and tried all of these. The best thing you can do is keep well hydrated and when all else fails, see your doctor for allopurinol. Been gout free for 4 yrs now. Noone understands the pain until they've suffered from it.

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.
