Rich Mans Disease (Gout)

Gout has been called the “rich man’s disease” or “the disease of Kings” because only the wealthy can afford a diet high in meat. 

  • Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis.
    • Gout attacks the joints.  First it starts inside the big toe, then ankle,  then knees (knows as prepatellar bursitis), then fingers, then wrist, then elbow (knowns as olecranon bursitis).
      • Gout pain is minimal but extremely excruciating and unannounced.  The first attack is on the big toe with redness, heat, swelling and sensitivity to touch.  
    • Gout left untreated can cause cardiovascular disease.  At this point the disease has spread throughout the body and the only way to heal is through power of prayer and petition, promising to change and never to return to the old habits.  
  • Gout occurs when the body has excessive amounts of uric acid
    • Uric acid is a chemical produced when your body breaks down foods that contain organic compounds called purines.
      • Purines are found in foods like organ meats, seafood, some legumes, some vegetables, high-fructose drinks, alcohol. We humans also have naturally occurring purine in our body.
    • Uric acid is removed through urine. For those who can’t eliminate the excessive amount that amount remains in the blood which then forms into crystals.
      • Crystals deposit in the joints, tissues and tendons creating Gout. (see picture below)

Cure:

No amount of medication can cure this rich mans disease.  Only way to cure this is by changing your diet and lifestyle PERIOD. Best solution is you can eat everything clean and organically made, meaning: animals, vegetables, fruits, plants, flowers created by God.  The foods you want to avoid are all the processed, genetically created and preserve foods made in labs and factories.  Life is already chaotic, keep it simple and easy.  When eating clean foods and drinking natural drinks always eat in moderation, eat with portion control and spread out the selection throughout the month.
