Let’s talk about gout and gout prevention.

It’s been found that there is no correlation between levels of uric acid in the blood and gout attacks. But, we also know that the pain involved in gout attacks is due to uric acid crystal formation creating inflammation.

The main medication for gout works by inhibiting the formation of uric acid. However, it has serious potential side effects.

The top natural remedies for gout are celery seeds and tart cherries. Both of these can help inhibit the enzyme that makes uric acid in the body.

Other natural remedies to get rid of gout:
• Celery leaves
• Artichokes
• Sage
• Thyme
• Leafy greens
• Potassium
• Omega-3 fatty acids

While uric acid can be a beneficial antioxidant, some interesting data suggests that it becomes a pro-oxidant when it gets into the tissues. This makes sense because when it gets into the arteries, it can cause inflammation and lead to problems like high blood pressure—and when it gets into the joints, it can cause inflammation and lead to problems like gout.

Nitric oxide is beneficial for both the cardiovascular system and gout. Gout patients experience a lot of inflammation, free radical damage, and oxidative stress—and they need nitric oxide to help counter these things.

Nitric oxide can also help regulate the enzyme that makes uric acid and can suppress certain triggers of gout attacks.

Potassium is also important for gout patients because it increases nitric oxide in a potent way.

Ways to help prevent gout:
1. Increase your potassium intake
2. Decrease your sodium
3. Eat foods that increase nitric oxide (celery leaves, tart cherries, leafy greens)
4. Avoid fructose and sugar
5. Support your kidneys (Renafood)

Celery, Celery, and more Celery. It was February last year (2022) when I was suffering with gout, and I also had a fatty liver or (toxic liver). I came across a Dr. Bergs video of Celery benefits. I started drinking Celery juice every morning 1 cup. My gout was gone. February 11 this year (2023), I went back to my doctor, did the blood test he told me my liver is very clean. I still drink a cup of celery juice every morning. Thank you, Dr. Berg.

I don't have gout. I still watched. This is probably the best channel on Youtube. Someone said "If you don't have your health...you can't have anything else."

A big game changer for me when I got hit by a gout attack was apple cider vinegar. Within 2 days it got better and disappeared after one week. Now I have made a habit of drinking 1 glass water with 3 tablespoons of ACV. Never had a problem with gout again.

A friend of mine suffers from gout, I will send him this video. Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing all these valuable information with the public for free!

Hi guys!! I’m a living testimony of someone who have beaten gout. My doctor once told me I have chronic gout and have to go on life time medication using allupurinol. However, I gave intermittent fasting a try.. With reduced carb consumption. 16-8 . Had lots of red meat (which the doc told me strictly not to do). And I have been gout free for 2 years. My summary - intermittent fasting is the key and reduced carb. Understand that everyone’s body functions differently, but if you are suffering from gout - give this a try

This channel never ceases to amaze me. Concise verifiable information.
One of the most important sources of online health related information that I use personally and recommend to friends and family.

Australia may be a big mess at the moment, but there is always hope and something positive I can do through watching many of the videos on this channel.
Cheers
(I dont normally promote YouTube channels as a whole, but Dr Berg's approach to detail and common sense is elite in my opinion)

My Dad had gout .I wish I knew about you Dr.Berg when my Dad had a flare-up of gout esp. on my wedding. My poor Dad still walked me down the aisle like a trooper .

Diet, adequate hydration and excercise is what keeps gout at a minimal for me. Understanding what your personal triggers are and how to avoid them is critical.

[govindsagarav]

I'm From India, had severe gout attacks and suffered from kidney stone. Later came across Dr. BERG, YOUTUBE CHANNEL n start following his advices now it's been more than 6 months and my uric acid levels are normal and no more gout attacks. Thank u Dr. Berg. 💓 ❤❤ love from India 🇮🇳

[robmaria]

Yes my husband had high uric acid. I believe he had gouty arthritis which he thought was rheumatoid. Within a short time he died from a arterial/ pulmonary attack. I wish he had been more pragmatic in his health. My nagging didn’t help. He was 70 years old.

[frankly.bekind]

I wanted to let you know that I had been having constant gout attacks in my knees and heels. I had been eating white tuna fish every day as a diet aid. Someone told me one can a week was the new limit. I gave it up completely and a few months later I was gout free. Some people are also sensitive to processed foods like hot dogs, cold cuts, chicken Mc nuggets etc.

Drinking alkaline water can also be very helpful. One of my patients had gout so bad that they had to amputate a toe. The gout was also in his knee and elbow causing swollen, extremely painful baseball size growths in the joints. After drinking pH 9.4 water every day for three months the gout went away and hasn't been back since. This was 7 years ago.

[tomwaldenofficial]

An ER doctor told me to quit drinking sodas. Since then, no more gout problems.

[naqibdude]

It's kinda funny how I haven't had a flareup in months, but just as I started to feel tingly on my toe, this video dropped.

Since going carnivore, clean water and salt, BP is down to 105/66. Cholesterol is down to 3.1 and joint pains have vanished.
Staying away from all junk food also helps.

Dr Berg, I have gout and I can feel it when my Uric acid level is high because of my big toe discomfort. I made this smoothie that you suggested in one of your videos, 2 cups of kale+ 1cup blueberries+ 1cup of full fat Kefir+ 1 cup water. I also started taking vitamin D and magnesium before bed which has really helped me sleep better as you suggested. A week later, I noticed the pain in my toe was gone. I had a complete physical last week, my uric acid level was completely normal. I’m not sure if it’s the smoothie or the magnesium supplement but I’m ecstatic!! Thank you so much Dr Berg!!!

[garybankston]

I get the gout sometimes. My kidneys only work about 30% because of all the drugs I did in the 20's and 30's. My uric acid is always high, so why don't I have the gout all the time? Doesn't matter. I recently had a flare up for 2 days and I had to pick out an Urgent Care center to go to, when I had the idea to take turmeric on top of a couple of glasses of water. Then I went to sleep and woke up the next morning gout free. So glad I didn't have to pay that $90 co pay to see a doctor. My Turmeric was 1500 mg.

I've had gout attacks for years and tried almost all when it comes to diets, supplements and so on. Only thing that helped me in the end was too avoid sugar and stress.

[ArchimedeanEye]

For me, the key was controlling blood sugar and improving metabolic health. No processed food, very low carb, high animal fat, quality salt and quality water. Never felt better and no gout after years of suffering. Also lost 10kg's without increasing exercise too much.
