Let’s talk about gout and gout prevention. It’s been found that there is no correlation between levels of uric acid in the blood and gout attacks. But, we also know that the pain involved in gout attacks is due to uric acid crystal formation creating inflammation. The main medication for gout works by inhibiting the formation of uric acid. However, it has serious potential side effects. The top natural remedies for gout are celery seeds and tart cherries. Both of these can help inhibit the enzyme that makes uric acid in the body. Other natural remedies to get rid of gout: • Celery leaves • Artichokes • Sage • Thyme • Leafy greens • Potassium • Omega-3 fatty acids While uric acid can be a beneficial antioxidant, some interesting data suggests that it becomes a pro-oxidant when it gets into the tissues. This makes sense because when it gets into the arteries, it can cause inflammation and lead to problems like high blood pressure—and when it gets into the joints, it can cause inflammation and lead to problems like gout. Nitric oxide is beneficial for both the cardiovascular system and gout. Gout patients experience a lot of inflammation, free radical damage, and oxidative stress—and they need nitric oxide to help counter these things. Nitric oxide can also help regulate the enzyme that makes uric acid and can suppress certain triggers of gout attacks. Potassium is also important for gout patients because it increases nitric oxide in a potent way. Ways to help prevent gout: 1. Increase your potassium intake 2. Decrease your sodium 3. Eat foods that increase nitric oxide (celery leaves, tart cherries, leafy greens) 4. Avoid fructose and sugar 5.

Celery, Celery, and more Celery. It was February last year (2022) when I was suffering with gout, and I also had a fatty liver or (toxic liver). I came across a Dr. Bergs video of Celery benefits. I started drinking Celery juice every morning 1 cup. My gout was gone. February 11 this year (2023), I went back to my doctor, did the blood test he told me my liver is very clean. I still drink a cup of celery juice every morning. Thank you, Dr. Berg.

A big game changer for me when I got hit by a gout attack was apple cider vinegar. Within 2 days it got better and disappeared after one week. Now I have made a habit of drinking 1 glass water with 3 tablespoons of ACV. Never had a problem with gout again.

Diet, adequate hydration and excercise is what keeps gout at a minimal for me. Understanding what your personal triggers are and how to avoid them is critical.

I don't have gout. I still watched. This is probably the best channel on Youtube. Someone said "If you don't have your health...you can't have anything else."

Gout attacks are the most painful pain I have ever experienced. And I’ve experienced a lot. Those who never have to experience these attacks are certainly blessed.

It's kinda funny how I haven't had a flareup in months, but just as I started to feel tingly on my toe, this video dropped.

Celery, celery, and more celery! 🥬✨ Last February (2022), I was struggling with gout and a fatty (toxic) liver. Then I stumbled upon Dr. Berg’s video about the benefits of celery. I decided to give it a shot and started drinking 1 cup of fresh celery juice every morning. Within weeks, my gout was completely gone! 🙌 Fast forward to February 11, 2023 — I had a blood test, and my doctor told me my liver is now super clean! 💚 I still drink celery juice every morning, and it’s been a game-changer. Huge thanks to Dr. Berg! Have any of you tried celery juice? Would love to hear your stories!

I've never had it in my big toe. I'm not sure why you keep saying that. I get it on the top of my foot, in my ankles, and in my hands. I also have never had blood pressure issues. Staying hydrated, doing daily cardio, and cutting sugar has kept me free of atacks for two years. But it's NOT just a big toe thing!
