This insidious master's disease

It is very important to understand the cause of this disease and try to eliminate it. Of course, you can relieve pain for a while, eliminate the symptom of the disease, but after a while it will manifest itself again, and it will be more difficult to fight it.

Therefore, pay attention, first of all, to the nature of the diet, since the disease is characterized by the deposition of uric acid salts in various tissues of the body. Its main manifestation is damage to the joint of the big toe. Wearing tight and uncomfortable shoes contributes to the development of gout. Abuse of fats, meat, tomatoes, legumes, sorrel, smoked meats, salted foods, alcohol and chocolate aggravates the course of the disease. It is necessary to normalize the content of trace elements in the body. The main source of their intake are plants - fruits, vegetables, herbs, grains, cereals, ginger, cloves, beans.

Iodine is found in various glands. Its deficiency in the body disrupts the exchange of uric acid, increasing its content.

In the old days, gout was called a master's disease. Rich people led a sedentary lifestyle and therefore more often suffered from gout. Smoked meats, meat, caviar, chocolate, overseas wines were frequent guests on the master's table.

The main cause of gout is renal impairment. But there is no isolated kidney disease. Liver disease can cause kidney disease that is affected by metabolic disorders.

If the salt balance is disturbed, uric acid reacts with alkalis, forming salts - urates. The deposition of these salts is responsible for the development of gout and kidney stones. In this case, a persistent increase in pressure develops, which is difficult or almost impossible to lower. With increased stress, vessels, for example, of the heart, may not be able to withstand, which will cause a heart attack and even a stroke with a violation of the vessels of the brain.

Uric acid metabolic disorders can be caused by various reasons:

1. Excess protein in food. Purines are formed from them, and then uric acid.
2. Violation of enzymatic systems that stop the formation of uric acid, for example, with a genetic predisposition.
3. Diseases of the blood and in a number of other cases when more uric acid is formed, for example, with increased cell decay. Cytotoxic (cell-killing) drugs also cause increased cell decay.
4. Uric acid can be poorly eliminated in any kidney disease.
5. Uric acid is removed worse when taking certain medications - aspirin, citromone, askofen and others.
6. Uric acid is excreted worse if the body produces an excess of certain chemicals, for example, lactic acid, which happens when drinking alcohol, pregnancy, diabetes and fasting, as well as hypertension, decreased thyroid function.

Uric acid, which is not excreted by the kidneys, combines with sodium and in the form of salt with the blood stream moves to the legs. It can get stuck in the joints instead of continuing on its way through the body. When it enters the joint fluid, it is deposited first in the joint capsule, then in the tendons of the joint, and then "begins to deal with" the cartilage. Salt penetrates all the way to the bone and accumulates in the space between the bone and cartilage, destroying both. In addition, uric acid crystals cause inflammation of the joint lining itself. Inflammation of the joint causes a sharp reaction of the surrounding tissues. The disease gradually affects not only joints, but also internal organs, renal tissue is affected. In this case, less fluid is excreted from the body, which leads to an increase in blood pressure.

With gout, you need to move as much as possible, and add lemons, gooseberries, strawberries to the diet, a lactic acid diet, abundant alkaline drinks are also recommended. During the day, you need to drink water at least 30 g per 1 kg of weight.

Eat in the morning on an empty stomach, half an hour before meals, two glasses of fresh garden strawberries, in the afternoon - 1 glass of berries, and at night - 2 glasses. At the same time, do not eat meat, sour and salty. The course of treatment is two months.

Another recipe: 4 tbsp. pour 4 cups of boiling water over tablespoons of dried strawberries. Insist 1.5 hours, drink 1 glass an hour before meals and before bedtime, that is, during the day you need to drink 4 glasses. Do not eat sour and salty. The course of treatment is 40 days.

Then add 150-200 g of butter and stir. Soar your leg for 10 minutes. Then, keeping your foot above the steam, smear the bone with a wooden stick so that the ointment melts at the same time. Make a compress of this ointment at night. Repeat the procedure for two weeks. Take a break for two weeks and repeat everything from the beginning. All the bumps will dissolve.

Pour 1 glass of this collection with half a liter of oil and heat over low heat, not boiling, 3-4 times. This oil is good for pain relief if it is applied to sore spots 2-3 times a day.
