Take a trip to your neighborhood health food store. You'll be glad you did.
Best of luck

What was a popular case of gout that was actually beneficial?

Q. Nothing can be that bad ALL of the time, can it?

A. According to Dr Jimmy Gutman gout is a painful form of arthritis. It is an indicator of a lowered immune system.

How can pain, inflammation and lowered immune system be beneficial?

It is also an indication of dietary deficiencies resulting in lowered glutathione levels. Boost your glutathione and you decrease the symptoms.

what is the best way to control gout problem?
Q. I know the drugs used to cure accute attack and to lower uric acid, but I really need to know the food that must be avoided since there are many versions (about the food). What is the suggested diet for gout patients.

A. What Should You Eat when you are diagnosed with gout?

Dietary restrictions suggest what people should not eat, but what should people eat? What foods will help control gout attacks? The American Medical Association recommends the following dietary guidelines for people with gout, advising them to eat a diet:


high in complex carbohydrates (fiber-rich whole grains, fruits, and vegetables)

low in protein (15% of calories and sources should be soy, lean meats, or poultry)

no more than 30% of calories in fat (with only 10% animal fats)


Recommended Foods To Eat:


Fresh cherries, strawberries, blueberries, and other red-blue berries
Bananas
Celery
Tomatoes
Vegetables including kale, cabbage, parsley, green-leafy vegetables
Foods high in bromelain (pineapple)
Foods high in vitamin C (red cabbage, red bell peppers, tangerines, mandarins, oranges, potatoes)
Drink fruit juices and purified water (8 glasses of water per day)
Low-fat dairy products
Complex carbohydrates (breads, cereals, pasta, rice, as well as aforementioned vegetables and fruits)
Chocolate, cocoa
Coffee, tea
Carbonated beverages
Essential fatty acids (tuna and salmon, flaxseed, nuts, seeds)
Tofu, although a legume and made from soybeans, may be a better choice than meat

Foods considered moderately high in purines but which may not raise the risk of gout include: asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, peas, spinach, whole grain breads and cereals, chicken, duck, ham, turkey, kidney and lima beans. It is important to remember that purines are found in all protein foods. All sources of purines should not be eliminated.

What is the most popular and highly reviewed supplement for Gout Arthritis?
Q. My grandmother suffers from intense gouty arthritis and has been hospitalized numerous times in the previous years. Other than changing her diet and excercise, are there any highly renowned supplements that have had alot of positive reviews? Cherry supplements seem to be popular but I cant seem to find any that encompass a variety of natural herbs. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

A. I've found a lot of great health info on the website mercola.com - very informative & it helps you to know what diets are important for certain diseases.

How much Cholesterol should you be taking in every day?

Q. I started reading food labels, and I noticed there's a line called Cholesterol with a number in mg's. How many mg's or what is the total amount of cholesterol per day that is recommended for a 20 something female? Thanks.

A. Officially, experts say you shouldn't have over 300mg (based on a 2,000 calorie diet). I tend to think that's a little high and try to not go over half that. It really depends on your age and activity level. Maybe the link below will help a little more.

How much cholesterol is in egg whites as opposed to the yolks?
Q. One of my co-workers told me that there are equal amounts of cholesterol in both the white and the yolk.

I told her that wasn't true because the yolk is what has all the calories, fat, and cholesterol in it, so I'm doing a good thing by eating egg white omelettes, as opposed to regular ones that include the yolk.

Or am I? Who's right?

A. Your coworker is an idiot. There is zero cholesterol in the white.

But the yolk has good stuff, too, like iron and omega fatty acids, so don't skip it all the time.

How much cholesterol should the average person allow in their diet a day?
Q. Also my Cholesterol is 225, does that mean I should have less than the average person? How much is the right amount?
They did not tell me what my good cholesterol vs my bad cholesterol is but im concerned with how much intake I should allow.

A. Hi MaggieMay,

Itâs currently recommended, for individuals with normal cholesterol levels, to limit dietary cholesterol intake to 300 mg or less daily. If you have high LDL cholesterol, the current recommendations are to limit dietary cholesterol to 200 mg or less per day.

All the best,

Why is cholesterol important for your health and the function of your body?
Q. Why is cholesterol important for your health and the function of your body? Is cholesterol in your diet really that bad?

A. Cholesterol doesn't make you fat or anything, but it contributes to heart disease in the future. If you have a high cholesterol, you have a high chance of heart disease. To prevent this, try eating mono-unsaturated fats, and poly-unsaturated fats. These are good fats that lower bad cholesterol, and increase your good cholesterol. Sources of mono and poly unsaturated fats are nuts - almonds, pecans, peanuts, and walnuts, and cooking oil, lol.

What will happen if Gout is left untreated? Or if the person with gout does not stop their alcohol intake?

Q. They are on an acute gout medication for the onset of a flair up but refuses to stop drinking.

A. The medication should help stop the gout attack. The alcohol causes the body to produce more uric acid. This makes it harder for the gout medication to work.

The alcohol consumption in most people will make the gout attacks more frequent.

Rusty

While it is best if they limit their drinking to no more than one drink a day, some people just are not going to do this. There is still plenty they can do to control their gout. Here is a link to more gout information.

Here is an article about some foods that can help prevent gout attacks.

What is the best remedy for the treatment of gout?
Q. I've tried limiting purines from a diet perspective. Is there anything anyone has tried before I launch into a lifetime of allopurinol?

A. I have had periodic episodes of gout for 25 years, and what works for me is this: be hyper aware of the start of soreness in any joint that usually gets the attack. If you can catch it at that point, Take 100mg Indocin capsules at once (with food), and then the following day, take 50mg in the morning, and 50mg at night until symptoms go away. This will prevent a full blown attack 90% of the time. For an acute attack, try the indocin plus darvon for pain. TAKE NO ASPIRIN AT ANY TIME as it interferes with the medication. If you stilll have a full blown episode, I agree that Cortico-steriod shots are the only 'quick-fix' but beware, used too often can lead to 'back-to-back attacks' that can go on for weeks! I don't know why this is, but it's a danger. I treat my gout on a case by case basis, and do not take allopurinol. Also, cut WAY back on consumpsion of protein, especially organ meats like liver. Hope this helps. I know Gout can be one of the most painful conditions we can ever endure.

What do you gout sufferers eat to relieve the pain?
Q. I am having my gout attack now for the the first time. Im taking Vicodin to keep pain at bay.

A. Many other foods contain purines, notably anchovies, goose, mussels, scallops, yeast, and meat derivatives such as soup stock and gravy. But avoiding purine-containing foods may not be as necessary as it was once thought to be.
Gout is a heritable disease marked by an excess of uric acid in the blood. Severe dietary restriction for people with gout can indeed decrease blood levels of uric acid somewhat. However, today's medications, especially allopurinol (Lopurin, Zyloprim), can do the job much better. So moderation in diet rather than avoidance of certain foods is sufficient for most people with gout.
Alcohol, however, is one dietary item that should be restricted, since it may trigger an acute attack of gout.

I hope this helps you. And good luck.

A. A sling with padding in it possibly.

Is is possible for arthritis to be caused by a injury that caused a bacterial infection?
Q. My husband had a knife barely nip his knee while at work and within hours it caused a really bad bacterial infection and was treated with anitibiotics. He was very healthy until the injury and week after the accident he started to have pain in the are where he was injured and it is slowly spreading throughout his body. He has been consulting with a Specialist however I want to make sure this is not work related.
He has been seeing a Rhemotologist however my concern is that this was caused by the injury as he was very much healthy prior to the injury.

A. yes, it is possible to have arthritis after a joint (knee) infection. it is called septic arthritis where the infection and the inflammatory process that comes along with it destoy the cartilage (arthritis is loss of cartilage).

however, in your husband's case, it would be farily unlikely. the initial knife injury has to be fairly deep, so it would enter the knee joint (not just cutting some superficial tissue). but...if the infection in the superficial tissue got very very bad, it can potentially enter the knee joint and create a septic joint.

a septic joint/knee is very painful and painful to move. and for the most part would require surgical treatment as antibiotics, even IV, just don't get into the joint that well. most doctors, even non orthopedists, should be able to recognize it easily.

i suppose that the infection could have been blood borne and started to seed multiple joints; but again less likely and he would have gotten pretty sick (septic).

therefore...when multiple joints are involved, we get the rheumatologist involved. there is wide spectrum to rheumatological processes and many of them can cause multiple joint pain.

good luck

What acne product works best to get fast and effective results?

Q. There are several popular acne products but which one gets you the results faster, and is it effective? Neutrogena, clearasil, clean and clear, clinique, biore, olay, and l'oreal. Which of these is the best acne product to get rid of acne with fast and effective results that you can see? And if you know, is there a product that gets rid of acne scars?

A. I am a senior girl in high school and have recently been struggling with, more like battling acne, specifically on my chin and forehead/between my eyes. I tried everything; creams, gels, the wave, but nothing topical seemed to work. I read some stuff online about diet corresponding with skin. Though foods havenât been proven to be linked to acne, I firmly stand by the saying âyou are what you eatâ. If you are healthy on the inside, then it will show on the outside. I took matters into my own hands and created my own âdietâ. Please keep in mind that everyone is different and though this has worked wonders for me, it might not be for everyone.
I cut dairy, breads, peanuts, anything processed, and sugar out of my diet as much as possible. I upped the fruits and veggies and completely cut out soda and juice which I replaced with waterâand lots of it. Seriously, the more water you can drink, the better.
I do switch this up all the time but this is what I typically eat:
Breakfast: Water, a multi-vitamin, one scrambled egg, and fruit. It keeps me surprisingly full and tastes great.
Lunch: Salad (with chicken) or soupâsomething light and healthy. Chicken tastes great on salads and a little vinaigrette makes it less boring. Skip the creamy dressings and croutons.
Snack: A handful of almonds and some fruit or veggies (I like baby carrots ï)
Dinner: I eat dinner as I normally would but stay away from high calorie, fatty foods like hamburgers, pizza, or Chinese. I always eat a vegetable or salad at dinner as well.
Dessert: Fruit if possible, but sometimes I have a square of dark chocolate. Itâs actually good for you and gives you a quick sugar fix.
Again, everyone is different. My skin is completely clear as long as I stick to this diet. I went out of town and went back to my old eating habits and my skin broke out horribly! As soon as I came home, I went on a healthy kick and my skin is gorgeous again.
Try it... the worst it could do is nothing. You might even drop a few pounds which never hurts!
Best of luck!

What acne cream will get rid of pimples without drying my face?
Q. I don't have too dry of a face, until I actually continue to use nearly EVERY acne treatment. I've tried products with salicylic acid, and others with benzyl peroxide. None have worked very well, and dry out my face HORRIBLY. I need something that will work to get rid of my pimples, as I tend to have at least a dozen at a time now! I'd prefer a cream or gel, but if you also have a suggestion for a face wash, I would appreciate it! I don't want anything TOO harsh, as I do have rosacea on my cheeks, and wouldn't like to keep the red inflammation to a minimum.

PS: I am also on the birth control pill known as Reclipsen. I know birth control pills are usually said to help acne, but has anyone ever heard of this CAUSING acne?

Thanks!!

A. Arthritis, like many medical terms, is a simple combination of two greek or latin roots "arthro" meaning joint-related and "itis" meaning inflammation. Arthr-itis: joint inflammation.

As to what causes it, stupid quiestion. Your five minute google search should have at least told you that there are different types of arthritis with different causes. In general though, it's autoimmune disease and wear-and-tear.

fyi, google does not filter it's content to be maximally confusing. All the information I just gave you is available and about equally easy to understand on wikipedia.

High cholesterol, when do you have to start taking medication?

Q. My hubby's reading today was
HDL - 61
LDL - 167
Trigy - 89
Cholesterol ratio - 4.0
Total cholesterol - 246
Fasting glucose - 93
Blood pressure 138/80

Does this look normal or should he be on medication due to the high LDL? At what readings should a person be diagnosed with medication? Appreciate your kind replies.
Thanks so much for your kind reply, Pauline.

A. Its not bad... and definitely not bad enough to take medication. I am not a doctor but I am a natural health nut who has family with high cholesterol and I watch this stuff closely.

Medication is an absolute last resort. What you will usually get is Lipitor and one your on that, its pretty much forever.... its tailored that way.

The best way to lower cholesterol is change your diet.. figure out what foods created it in the first place (chips, mashed potatoes and gravies, red meat, bacon.....its pretty obvious what does unless you just naturally produce cholesterol in your bloodstream) and eliminate them. A good routine is always eat a whole grain breakfast within 30 minutes of waking in the morning (even if you dont eat breakfast, its the most important meal and your cholesterol will lower just by doing that in most cases)as well drink 8 to 16 oz of water, clean fresh water, not tap. Then eat fibre througout the day at least every two hours.. carrots, apples, fibre bar whatever.... drink lots of water (this is the nectar of life, it has been neglected for years but science is realizing its really important to keep cells in your body working properly). There is also another thing you can do... drink an ounce of apple-cider vinegar every morning..... it cleans the arteries.... and get a multi-vitamin that contains B50 and niacin.... these also help keep the arteries clean and feed the heart which is what we worry about with high cholesterol. I know this is long but I just wanted to help... I dont promote taking any pills for quick fix... because its not good for your body to take pills.. then you have to take other pills to offset side effects and the next thing you know you have 20 pills to take every day.. the body isnt designed to filter pills..... which is why I believe people are sick in this day and age.

Good Luck

How is cholesterol calculated and can you have too much good cholesterol?
Q. I went to the doctor and my cholesterol was 246 which isn't so good but my good cholesterol was 65, which she said is great. Is the LDL what's remaining after the good cholesterol is subtracted from the total? Can you have too much HDL?

A. HDL are "high-density lipoproteins" which is fancy doctor talk for cells that are high in protein, low in fat/cholesterol. This is preferred, as this is what "feeds" the body with growth proteins. Proteins power "cell" creation and repair (only). Things like muscle, skin, hair, etc...anything that grows or requires frequent repair benefit from higher counts of HDL. HDL's increase in demand with more activity. Specifically 'cardio' (meaning heart) workouts. You really can't have "too much" HDL's because if the body doesnt need the level of proteins in the blood sugar, it simply release it as it passes through the kidneys. We pee out excess proteins. They do NOT convert to bodyfat like some bodybuilders like to beleive.

LDLs are of course "Low density", meaning low protein high fat. LDL's partially provide energy to "active" muscles. The cells are often "coated" with saturated fats. As these move around the body feeding active muscles, they 'bump along' the artery walls, the leave little "skid marks" so to speak. These marks build up to become plaque, and can cause heart decrease. Reducing LDL's to under 200, (or 150 even better) would be good advice but often requires medication, diet modification, AND more physical activity.

How much cholesterol would be in a ostrich egg?

A. A sling with padding in it possibly.

Is is possible for arthritis to be caused by a injury that caused a bacterial infection?
Q. My husband had a knife barely nip his knee while at work and within hours it caused a really bad bacterial infection and was treated with anitibiotics. He was very healthy until the injury and week after the accident he started to have pain in the are where he was injured and it is slowly spreading throughout his body. He has been consulting with a Specialist however I want to make sure this is not work related.
He has been seeing a Rhemotologist however my concern is that this was caused by the injury as he was very much healthy prior to the injury.

A. yes, it is possible to have arthritis after a joint (knee) infection. it is called septic arthritis where the infection and the inflammatory process that comes along with it destoy the cartilage (arthritis is loss of cartilage).

however, in your husband's case, it would be farily unlikely. the initial knife injury has to be fairly deep, so it would enter the knee joint (not just cutting some superficial tissue). but...if the infection in the superficial tissue got very very bad, it can potentially enter the knee joint and create a septic joint.

a septic joint/knee is very painful and painful to move. and for the most part would require surgical treatment as antibiotics, even IV, just don't get into the joint that well. most doctors, even non orthopedists, should be able to recognize it easily.

i suppose that the infection could have been blood borne and started to seed multiple joints; but again less likely and he would have gotten pretty sick (septic).

therefore...when multiple joints are involved, we get the rheumatologist involved. there is wide spectrum to rheumatological processes and many of them can cause multiple joint pain.

A good routine is always eat a whole grain breakfast within 30 minutes of waking in the morning (even if you dont eat breakfast, its the most important meal and your cholesterol will lower just by doing that in most cases)as well drink 8 to 16 oz of water, clean fresh water, not tap. Then eat fibre througout the day at least every two hours.. carrots, apples, fibre bar whatever.... drink lots of water (this is the nectar of life, it has been neglected for years but science is realizing its really important to keep cells in your body working properly). There is also another thing you can do... drink an ounce of apple-cider vinegar every morning..... it cleans the arteries.... and get a multi-vitamin that contains B50 and niacin.... these also help keep the arteries clean and feed the heart which is what we worry about with high cholesterol. I know this is long but I just wanted to help... I dont promote taking any pills for quick fix... because its not good for your body to take pills.. then you have to take other pills to offset side effects and the next thing you know you have 20 pills to take every day.. the body isnt designed to filter pills..... which is why I believe people are sick in this day and age.

Good Luck

How is cholesterol calculated and can you have too much good cholesterol?
Q. I went to the doctor and my cholesterol was 246 which isn't so good but my good cholesterol was 65, which she said is great. Is the LDL what's remaining after the good cholesterol is subtracted from the total? Can you have too much HDL?

A. HDL are "high-density lipoproteins" which is fancy doctor talk for cells that are high in protein, low in fat/cholesterol. This is preferred, as this is what "feeds" the body with growth proteins. Proteins power "cell" creation and repair (only). Things like muscle, skin, hair, etc...anything that grows or requires frequent repair benefit from higher counts of HDL. HDL's increase in demand with more activity. Specifically 'cardio' (meaning heart) workouts. You really can't have "too much" HDL's because if the body doesnt need the level of proteins in the blood sugar, it simply release it as it passes through the kidneys. We pee out excess proteins. They do NOT convert to bodyfat like some bodybuilders like to beleive.

LDLs are of course "Low density", meaning low protein high fat. LDL's partially provide energy to "active" muscles. The cells are often "coated" with saturated fats. As these move around the body feeding active muscles, they 'bump along' the artery walls, the leave little "skid marks" so to speak. These marks build up to become plaque, and can cause heart decrease. Reducing LDL's to under 200, (or 150 even better) would be good advice but often requires medication, diet modification, AND more physical activity.

How is cholesterol good for you and your body?
Q. Explain the benefits of cholesterol for the body and its functions. How does it affect joints and organs?

A. Americans are being saturated with anti-cholesterol propaganda. If you watch very much television, you're probably one of the millions of Americans who now has a terminal case of cholesterol phobia. The probaganda is relentless and is often designed to produce fear and loathing of this works of all food contaminants. You never hear the food propagandists bragging about their product being fluoride free or aluminum free, two of our truly serious food-addidtive problems. But cholesterol, an essential nutrient not proven to be harmfull in ANY quantity is constantly pilloried as a menance to your health. If you don't use corn oil, Fleishmann's margarine and Egg Beaters, you are going straight to atherosclerosis hell with stroke, heart attack and premature aging and so are your kids.

How can I get rid of soreness from gout?

Q. I have been suffering from painful gout in my knee that has migrated down to my ankle for about a month now. I've tried strawberries, and I am currently drinking cherry juice in hopes of getting rid of this. I'd rather not deal with the side effects of prescription remedies that have been suggested to me. I am a 51-year old male and I currently weigh more than the recommended weight for my height.

A. Hi, 38yr old male battling gout for 13yrs, doc says hereditary mainly. Two BLT's in a day and I'm on the sickening med's the next day...colchricine. You name the med I've been on it. Once the crystal's settle in aparticular area, the damage is done. NSAIDS are your best bet for pain, my attacks are usually severe enough for injections of Torodol & Decadron at the doc's office. As far as natural remediess, I've found dark cherry extract {capsules only} works. Juice has too many unwanted calories and sugars. Allopurinol should be taken daily, perscribed by doctor. I'm up to 900mg a day to maintain a 5-6 uric acid count. Be warned continous gout attacks can cause lumps of tissue forming on your elbows, knees , ankles, and anywhere else it decides to go. I don't know how serious your attacks are, but I don't know of anyone who has it as bad as I do. My worse case scenario, I had to have my left knee operated on to remove a painful bursitis on the kneecap. 13 staples north to south. If I can be of any assistance let me know. Jeffrey

What will happen if Gout is left untreated? Or if the person with gout does not stop their alcohol intake?
Q. They are on an acute gout medication for the onset of a flair up but refuses to stop drinking.

A. The medication should help stop the gout attack. The alcohol causes the body to produce more uric acid. This makes it harder for the gout medication to work.

The alcohol consumption in most people will make the gout attacks more frequent.

While it is best if they limit their drinking to no more than one drink a day, some people just are not going to do this. There is still plenty they can do to control their gout. Here is a link to more gout information.

Here is an article about some foods that can help prevent gout attacks.

What is the best remedy for the treatment of gout?
Q. I've tried limiting purines from a diet perspective. Is there anything anyone has tried before I launch into a lifetime of allopurinol?

A. I have had periodic episodes of gout for 25 years, and what works for me is this: be hyper aware of the start of soreness in any joint that usually gets the attack. If you can catch it at that point, Take 100mg Indocin capsules at once (with food), and then the following day, take 50mg in the morning, and 50mg at night until symptoms go away. This will prevent a full blown attack 90% of the time. For an acute attack, try the indocin plus darvon for pain. TAKE NO ASPIRIN AT ANY TIME as it interferes with the medication. If you stilll have a full blown episode, I agree that Cortico-steriod shots are the only 'quick-fix' but beware, used too often can lead to 'back-to-back attacks' that can go on for weeks! I don't know why this is, but it's a danger. I treat my gout on a case by case basis, and do not take allopurinol. Also, cut WAY back on consumpsion of protein, especially organ meats like liver. Hope this helps. I know Gout can be one of the most painful conditions we can ever endure.
