Gout "cure"
Yeah, Joyce, I was suspicious of the name "Gout Cure" too, but
decided
to try it anyway to see if it would help CONTROL my gout. I just
ordered one bottle, & thought it hadn't done any good, so didn't
re-order it. Then, after I quit taking it, I had a new attack.
Coincidence? Don't kow, but after I started it up again, the
inflamation & pain went away, with NO side effects like I'd had with
Indocin. The ingred. SEEM harmless - garlic, artichoke powder, milk
thistle(which I know to be good for the liver), & yucca stalk. Side
effects of herbals are usually MUCH milder than those of strong
perscription drugs. (& I've kept my Dr. informed of what I'm taking,
in case of conflict) He's pretty knowledgeable about drug/herb
interactions.
Also, as to the Chondroitin/glucosomine mix, I know it's slow,
but my sister's spinal x-rays, after about a year of taking it made a
believer of me. Her degenerated discs had regenerated! that was a
pretty convincing proof to me that it not only lubricates joints, but
regrows cartlidge if it isn't completely gone.
Glad you had a good report from your Dr. Keep up the good work.

regime. Believe me, i get soooo tired of taking medicine. But it
keeps me functioning.
of sodium bicarb in a 6 oz glass of water and drink it. That is to
alkalanize (sp?) the urine and to help prevent the formation of
kidney
stones from the medications we take. Also, we talked about
Gluclosimine. He says that it has a short-term affect of relieving
minor joint pain and that taking it would not hurt. However, it
takes
several years for possitive results (if any) to show up in xrays and
other tests.
Herbals have been known to have serious side affects when mixed with
some prescription drugs. And, Brenda, I'm sorry but I'm really
suspicious of anything that says it's a "gout cure." There is no
cure
for gout. It can only be controlled...believe me, I know.
