Hi All. This is not a marketing strategy by me. I am not a salesman. This is my first post here and I decided to create an account after reading this subject matter...about Gout and Allopurinol. This is to help Yip Hon wife and other gout sufferers.
Sometime in 2008, gout hit me all of a sudden and I like many of you here, had to stick to medication like Allopurinol. But a word of caution of taking this medication, it is known to cause high rate of allergy at the extreme case, SJS, which can cause death. My mother-in-law, had gout, took allopurinol on doctor's prescription, developed SJS and went into coma for 1 week, came out alive, went into all sorts of complications and died 2 years later. So when I started having gout, I suffered the pain and it was getting worse. My joints were swelling which I found out were crystals (uric acid becoming crystals accumulating at the joints). I went researching and found out that gout is a form of artiritis, and if left uncheck, it can develop into ricketts. That pushed me to look for a 100% natural cure and I found it after 3 weeks. Since mid 2008, I have been taking this natural cure and I never had any attack, and my uric acid level is back to normal.
Gout is a rich man disease. You need to understand how this disease come about. It can hit a vegetarian as much as non-veg guy like me. My first question was: what food I should avoid. The answer : Hell alot and if you see the lists of food, you'll ask, how to survive? All food have "purine" and this is marked as "high", medium" and "low" purine factors. Unfortunately, many food falls into high and medium category. How to avoid meats (beef, mutton), seafood (all mackerals), prawns, squid, etc, etc, vegetables e.g. many green leafy vegs, all beans, nuts, etc
So how come eat food can cause uric acid? Believe this : most food, like meat is alkaline, but when it goes into the stomach, it turns acidic. Acidic food, like lime and lemon juice, when it goes into the stomach, it becomes alkaline. Makes sense? No I did not believe it too but after research, it made sense to me. Notice why a lemon slice is served with a meat roast or kebabs or your favourite tandooris? What about ENO or taking the alkaline pills when you have over-eaten and you have acidity in your stomach?
Ok what is the cure? A combination of natural
unfiltered natural Apple cider vinegar with 100% pure Manuka honey. This is the magical formula.
Dosage: 1 tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar + 1 tablespoon of Manuka honey in 1 cup of water at normal temperature. Dont use the same spoon.
Frequency: daily, early in the morning when you get up, this is the first drink that you take for maximum absorption. Drink down a second cup of water Take your coffee or tea, 1 hour later.
Cost: a) BRAGG natural
unfiltered natural Apple cider vinegar, 500ml, about $S5/-, available at all NTUC and supermarkets. b) 100% certified pure Manuka Honey (umf 10+) 500gms X 3 @ $140/- (via me). Dont buy any other honey cos I cant tell you it will work. Also, if you go to any pharmacy, you'll find that Manuka honey (umf 10+ is good enough) is sold at much much higher price than what I quoted here. (S$50/- to S$60/-per 500gm.)
One bottle of apple cider vinegar will last you about 2 months. One bottle of honey will last you about 1 month. So if you calculate, this natural medication is cheaper than your doctor's visit and prescription and best of all, it's 100% natural. No side effects.
Note; use only plastic spoon when you dip into the honey bottle. Use only normal temperature water, dont use hot or warm water. This is to retain the properties in the honey.
Take it daily and you'll find that the pain and the crystals at the joints dissappearing...it will a few days depending on how much crystals have formed. Continue to take this concoction daily so that you can eat normal food daily at normal rate. The honey helps to sweeten the acid tasts of the vinegar, you'll not like the taste initially, but you'll get used to it after some time.
Other benefits: Also, the honey will give you more energy, you'll notice this after a few days. ( I am 50 years only and I can do major physical work with ease and still have energy at night). You'll find that you will not have any constipation. Constipation can cause piles - This also means that you will not have piles because you can pass out the motion with ease. Once or twice I had dirreahoe after eating wrong food at hawker centres but I did take any charcoal tabs or any other medication. I just took this drink in the morning and my dirreahoe stopped on it's own. Dont know why but it works. I also read that by drinking regular glasses of water, with this concoction, it helps to remove (dissolve) the stones (which are crystals) in gall bladders and kidneys.
How do I know it works? After I started this concoction, I purposely stopped for about 1 week and had my regular diet but eat meat, beans and nuts. I could feel the pain coming back on my knees and joints. I started back on the concoction routine and it dissappeared again. In Jan 2010, I went for a full medical checkup with my doc and the uric acid in the blood showed that it is back into the normal. My doc was surprised cos I did not go back to him for the allopurinol and I told him of the natural medication. He asked me to continue with my concoction since it works.
Try it. There's no harm. If it works, as it has done for me and many others, you'll be a happy person leading a normal life, not tied to these scientific medications, for the rest of your lives.
Like I said, I am not a salesman. I just want to help gout sufferers out there.
Good Luck.
