I wanted to laugh when I first came across this rather ridiculous suggestion on some of the online sources about natural treatments for gout. After the initial state of skepticism, I decided to do some study on this interesting topic of having sex as a natural treatment for gout.
Well, it must somehow work on some of the gout patients until this method is widely spread as one of the treatment options for gout. Some people think it works, but they just cannot explain how it works in reducing the inflammation and pain of the notorious gout attacks.
Before I explain how to have good sex as one of the methods of treating your gout, you must first understand the chemistry of sex.
We all know about the temptation and good feelings that good sex gives us. That is part of our natural instinct, and having a healthy sex life plays an important role in maintaining the well-being of our body and mind.
Scientists call sex a melting pot of the soup of bio-chemicals, the hormones. This scientific statement may somehow kill away some of the romantic sides of sex, but whatever you feel as the result of sex can actually be explained by simple science.
It is not a matter of what happens between your legs, it is about the chemical reactions that happen between your ears.
There are a few vital hormones that contribute to the pleasures (and pain relief) we feel during sexual intercourse. It starts with dopamine, which is one of the brain’s pleasure chemicals.
Dopamine is released in the ‘reward center’ of the brain when we see something that arouses our desire, such as good food and an attractive partner. Dopamine increases the pulse rate and cardiac functions which results in the ‘blushing’ effect in some people.
During sexual orgasm, your brain will push the amount of dopamine to the max and then bring it down right after the climax with the release of prolactin which prevents you from over indulge in the rush of dopamine.
Prolactin rises sharply immediately after orgasm and it is what gives you the “full” feeling after your intimate moment. Prolactin disengages you from sex after orgasm and makes room for your mind to think of other things besides the naked person lying next to you.
Besides the roller coaster ride of dopamine, there are two other sex-related neurotransmitters that contribute to the whole sensation of sex. Oxytocin, which is also known as the “cuddling hormone” is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland when you feel affection for someone you love dearly. Oxytocin helps in creating a strong bond between you and your lover.
Oxytocin stimulates the production of endorphin which is the ‘happy neuro chemical’ that produces feelings of ecstasy and pleasure.
Endorphins fill you with a sense of well-being and relaxation and sometimes might even drift you off to sleep. Endorphin has a similar chemical structure to morphine and that explains why it has pain relief effects.
The quality of your sex life determines the levels of the above mentions hormones in your body. If you want to have sex as a treatment for gout, you must know how to ‘control’ the release of those hormones.
The best guideline is to increase the amount of oxytocin and endorphin as much as you can while minimizing the fluctuation of dopamine and prolactin.
Since oxytocin and endorphin are more emotionally related, it is good to practice longer-lasting sensual experiences with your lover instead of a lustful release of desire.
Make love, not sex. Those pain and stress relief hormones are hidden in your brain, not your sex organ. Cultivate the right feelings and emotions with your loved ones by having romantic foreplay and delaying the ejaculation for as long as you can while making sure both of you enjoy the pleasure of sex.
Now Listen Very Carefully Here:
Gout is NOT for life — I cured 3 years of gout in 4 weeks
First, let me tell you: you have all my sympathy. I know exactly what you’re going through. When I had gout it was the worst pain I’d ever experienced. I honestly thought I was going to suffer it for the rest of my life.
I know gout will be pretty unpleasant for you too. But what do we do about it?
Eat less meat? Drink less alcohol? Drink more water? Follow the usual advice?
I did all that. It made zero difference to me. The pain remained as bad as ever. Our doctors mean well but the medications they prescribe are trying to manage the disease rather than cure it.
That’s not what a gout sufferer wants. I wanted that disease cured, not managed. I’m guessing you’re the same. Yet researchers from the US and Europe have already worked out what causes gout.
In fact, they’ve known for some years now.
And there is a drug-free natural health program that turns that knowledge into a cure. It has now worked for thousands of us.
It’s not complicated. I had gout for three years. I got rid of it in four weeks.
Since then?
More than two years with no flare-ups. No pain. No nothing. Simply no gout.
It’s your turn now. Let me tell you how it works.
