The Most Effective Cure For Gout — Cherries

If you find yourself asking “do cherries help with gout?” then this article is for you. Gout is an extremely problematic form of arthritis that results from the buildup of uric acid inside the bloodstream and bodily tissues.

This excess uric acid begins forming extremely painful crystals which are deposited in a variety of places throughout the body (I get mine in and around the big toes on both feet, especially by the “sesamoid” bone).

While I have personally used a combination of ibuprofen and turmeric to relieve my pain (a combo that has worked very well for me), there is also a lot of talk about the therapeutic role that cherries can play in reducing gout symptoms. But is there any merit to the claim? Do cherries help with gout? Let’s explore…

The most common reason for gout to develop in humans is the overconsumption of purine-rich foods (like meat) and chemicals such as alcohol. For this reason, gout is largely considered a lifestyle condition that can be both prevented and treated through responsible dietary practices.

Of course, not all of us are willing to give up our ribeye steaks and other indulgences, which is why we must look into natural treatments to counteract our gout symptoms as much as possible.

Raw, high-water content foods, for example, when sufficiently added to the diet can go a long way toward diluting the uric acid in the body. Fresh salads are great choices. And fresh fruit also bears a lot of promise.

Fresh Cherries and Gout — What’s the Connection?

This leads us to cherries, considered by many to be the ultimate fruit for the treatment of gout. Cherries have many powerful anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties, along with them being as delicious as can be! Consuming cherries on a fairly regular basis may contribute to less intense and less frequent attacks, but should not be relied on to stop gout altogether.

Essentially, cherries help with gout because they are able to draw more uric acid out of the blood and into the urine for immediate expulsion from the body. Dark cherries and ruby reds alike have been shown to have wonderfully therapeutic effects on a number of individuals with gout.

Dark Cherries and Gout

Dark cherries (also known as sweet cherries) are naturally low in calories and are surprisingly loaded with healthy fiber. In addition, they are rich in the analgesic (pain-relieving) chemical melatonin. So by all means, load up on yummy sweet cherries when you feel an attack coming on and you may be able to stop it from becoming unbearable.

Dark cherries are also a tremendous source of high-quality, bio-available antioxidants that the body can use to dramatically bolster the immune system. Add to this the cherries’ natural ability to reduce inflammation-causing nitric oxide, and these magic little fruits may just be able to lower your chances of developing heart disease and diabetes, in addition to gout.

Ruby-Red Cherries for Gout?

The sour variety of cherries (known as ruby-reds) act similarly to sweet cherries in that they can reduce both inflammation and pain, and they have also been shown to decongest arteries of those nasty crystals caused by excess uric acid.

This particular type of cherry contains lots of vitamin A and is also very low in calories. According to recent studies, the consumption of approximately one hundred grams of cherries on a daily basis may very well play a role in significantly reducing the intensity of gout symptoms.

While you can certainly use cherries for baking and other cooking purposes, I am always sickened by the thought of weakening a fruit’s or vegetable’s nutritious and rejuvenating goodness by cooking them… so please just eat them raw!

Do Cherries Help With Gout? Conclusion:

Yes, cherries can have a wonderful effect on lessening gout’s debilitating effects on us, provided we load ourselves up with their inflammatory-reducing, pain-relieving goodness. But by no means should this suggest that they are the be-all-end-all. I would also recommend my preferred relief duo, which is ibuprofen and turmeric.

GOUT gone for good in 4 weeks

Gout is pretty unpleasant, to say the least.

But what can you do about it...

• Eat less meat?
• Drink less alcohol?
• Drink more water?

Follow the usual advice?

I'm sure you already tried all that, but it made zero difference didn't it?

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. I'm sure that's not what you want. You want your gout cured, not managed. Right?

But now there is a new discovery that changes everything about how we treat gout. Researchers from the US and Europe have worked out what causes gout.

In fact, they've known for some years now. And finally, there is a drug-free, supplement-free natural health approach that turns this new knowledge into a cure.

...a gout cure, which has worked for thousands of people already. It's not complicated. Most people get rid of their gout in days. No pain. No nothing. Simply no gout.

How Long Does it Take For Gout Pain to Cure?

Before I discuss how long it takes to cure gout, you must first have a clear picture of how gout comes about and how long it takes for gout to form. What goes around comes around. If you want to cure a disease, you must track down its root because it will always come back if the root is not removed totally.

Our blood pH must always maintain mild alkalinity which is at the pH value of 7.365. 

When you consume too much acidic food such as meat, seafood, bean, etc. more acid will enter the bloodstream and this will lower the pH of the blood and trigger a series of homeostasis reactions in order to counter the acidosis effect.

One of the pH balancing methods is to force those excess acids out of the bloodstream into the interstitial fluids as temporary parking. But since the acid input is ever-increasing, a portion of it will slowly seep into the synovial fluid in the joints.

When the concentration of uric acid in the synovial goes beyond the saturation level, crystallization happens and urate crystal is formed and triggers the immune reactions which result in inflammation, burning sensation, and pain, intense pain called gout.

Now you have a clear picture of how those urate crystals form in your joints. It takes years for the uric acid to reach a concentration that is saturated enough to cause crystallization.

If it takes years to form, it is going to take about the same time (or longer) to clear them off and this is only if you start the alkalizing process. 

Otherwise, the crystals will only grow more and more until a stage that it has nowhere else to hide and that is when tophi or kidney stones start to show.

This all depends on which direction your lifestyle heading, acid or alkaline. If you do not take the initiative to reverse the acidosis process, your gout condition will only become worse and worse. 

The longer you delay, the longer it is going to take for you to clear off those uric acid crystals.

If you still hope that someday someone will invent some magic gout drugs that can get rid of gout instantly, you are heading towards never-never land with your creeping painful feet. 

There is no such thing as an instant cure for anything disease, those are only smokescreens that mask away from the symptoms or pain.

Believe it or not, the ultimate principle of achieving good health is through common sense. You must first seek to understand your enemy (gout) before you try to cure it. The sad fact is, common sense is not that common after all.
