Merry Meet (Gout)

[Guest guest]

Hi Shelly,

 

Great to have you aboard

 

Sorry to hear that hubby is having some health issues.

 

Here is some info on gout that might be helpful:

http://www.althealth.co.uk/services/info/ailments/gout1.php

 

There are two books you might want to consider adding to your library.

One is " Healthy Healing " by Linda Rector-Page

and the other is " Prescription for Nutritional Healing " by Balch

 

There is so much valuable information for dealing with so many health

issues between those two books and they each go into a very holistic

approach to wellness (nutrition, bodywork, herbs, vitamins, etc ...)

Hi!

My name is Shelly and I joined to help my hubby. He is getting old

before his time and hates Doctors and man made pills. I am looking to

find ways to help ease his pain and discomfort. His list of ailments

is varied and wide, but right now the main one is gout. I am looking

for something that can ease his pain AND let him eat more than tuna,

onions, garlic and pineapple. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

 

Shelly

Dear Chris,

 

Thanks so much for that wonderful alt.heath.co.uk

website!

I don't have gout or know anyone with it, but I

am always looking for further education.

 

The description of gout was so beautifully clear.

I am going to have some fun looking up other conditions on the same site!

Hi Shelly,

 

The book Healing With Whole foods lists aduki bean congee

specifically for gout, and also mentions celery and cherry.

 

To make the congee, throw a handful each of rice and aduki beans into

a pot or slow cooker with 5 to 6 cups of water, cook on low four to

six hours. It's better to use too much water than too little, and

it's said that the longer congee cooks the more powerful it becomes.

 

I don't understand the food references you made, must be from diets

suggested for gout? No veggies and grains allowed?

 

Anyway, would hubby be open to seeing an acupuncturist/herbalist,

getting some needling and taking some chinese herbs? Or at least the

herbs :-)
