Coconut oil Gout Treatment

Gout suffers have red, hot swollen joints especially toes, ankles, fingers and wrist. Each gout attack feels worse and left untreated gout may eventually lead to kidney stones. Some say gout is inherited, a lack of an enzyme we need to break down uric acid. Others say diet is to blame. Drinking alcohol and eating high purine foods like meats, acidic tomatoes, and sprouts can aggravate gout. Recent research finds that overweight increases likelihood of gout in both men and women. Hypertension may also be a factor. No ethnic group is immune to gout. A painful disabling gout attack can last 7 – 14 days, but most people try over the counter pain killers. In Asia, a group of gout suffers used coconut oil and found relief from gout pain and swelling.

Do you have chronic joint pain? An Injury? Orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, osteoarthritis — You may think you don’t need help. You may not be an athlete. But anyone over 40, anyone who smokes or has a compromised immune system, anyone who exercises regularly, runs, dances or plays tennis can benefit from the cutting edge work now being done in orthopedic medicine. You will be reading about my experiences with Dr. Alan Lazar in Plantation, Florida, a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale in a running commentary on my treatments. He uses PRP injections, using a patient’s own blood, fat and growth factors from bone marrow in order to heal damaged joints and cartilage. PRP injections, used for over 30 years to speed healing after surgery and more recently in Sports Medicine treatments, are now being used experimentally to improve everyday injuries, osteoarthritis, muscle and ligament tears, and nervous system diseases.
