Cherries? Yes! Here you'll discover how to lower uric acid naturally using cherries. They are one of the most popular and effective ways to lower uric acid levels without costly drugs and their nasty side effects. And as a gout sufferer, you need to lower your uric acid in order to prevent further attacks, which can cause permanent damage to your joints, kidney stones and even damaged kidneys.
THE NEED TO LOWER URIC ACID LEVELS IF YOU SUFFER FROM GOUT
Uric acid is a byproduct of the breakdown of "purines" in your body. Purines are chemical compounds that we all have in our bodies, and, they also exist in our food. They are essential in helping to provide us with our protein and energy needs.
The acid produced in this way is treated by your kidneys with the excess expelled from your body via urine, leaving 'normal' uric acid levels which work as an antioxidant; which is good.
But if there is way too much uric acid being produced over the norm, or, your kidneys aren't at 100% and can't handle normal levels of uric acid, then excess acid is retained in your blood and not expelled; which is bad. This then collects in and around your joints as uric acid crystals, which being needle-shaped, cause your symptoms of gout.
So, in general, too high uric acid levels leads to gout. Therefore, as a gout sufferer you need to lower these levels to a level that is right for you, in order to get gout relief and prevent further attacks.
And preventing further attacks is important because, aside from the excruciating pain, frequently occurring attacks of high uric acid can cause permanent damage to your joints, kidney stones and even more serious damage your kidneys in the worst cases.
HOW YOU CAN LOWER URIC ACID LEVELS
You can lower uric acid levels using either drug-based medication, or, natural remedies such as cherries or cherry juice. But more and more gout sufferers are turning to natural home remedies to lower uric acid, rather than stay with costly drugs with their horrible side effects like; nausea, vomiting, headaches, stomach cramps, stomach ulcers and bleeding.
Now, there are tons of remedies out there for lowering uric acid levels naturally using things like; herbs, fruits and vegetables, etc. But one of the most popular and effective are cherries...
HOW TO LOWER URIC ACID LEVELS NATURALLY USING CHERRIES
As long ago as 1950, a certain Dr. Ludwig Blau was said to have cured his gout simply by eating around 8 cherries every day. Now, whatever the truth about that, more modern research has shown that cherries contain anthocyanins which have natural anti-inflammatory properties.
So cherries work in the same way as drug-based anti-inflammatory drugs, such as NSAIDs, but without the bad side effects. And even further research has shown that cherries can also lower uric acid levels naturally, as drugs like allopurinol do, again without the side effects.
You can see, therefore, why so many gout sufferers are attracted to cherries, and indeed, cherry juice. But how many do you need to take? The truth is that a lot depends on the individual. You see, one person might have relatively high levels of uric acid and never suffer from gout, whilst another might have relatively low uric acid levels, but still suffer from gout. Everything is relative.
Researchers suggest that around 20 cherries per day is much the same as taking one NSAID per day. But they are at variance when it comes to trying to define just how much should be taken on a daily basis. This varies between 8 and 40!
Much depends on if you are between attacks, or, having an attack. Some suggest that you should take 30 - 40 cherries, every 4 hours, to help relieve the symptoms of gout. But what there isn't any disagreement about is their effectiveness in their ability to lower uric acid levels naturally, and, eliminating gout symptoms!
OTHER ISSUES FOR YOU TO CONSIDER
Cherries are just one of a myriad of natural home remedies for high uric acid levels (gout). You really need to try as many as you can to see which works best for you. This is important because what might work well for one person might not for another, and so on. Everyone is different.
And there are many other things to address such as; your diet, your weight, family history of gout, underlying medical conditions, medications you are taking, etc. Any of these will have an affect on your gout and your ability to eliminate it.
You're in luck though. You don't have to plough through all that work. There's a uric acid gout report already available online that thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.
And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.
