How can Gout be Treated?
#1
Question 
[size=4][b]Diseases Gout - How can Gout be Treated?[/b][/size][hr]Gout is a problem that in most of the cases occurs suddenly. That is why it is really hard to prevent it. Doctors can only advice for a low alcohol intake and a healthy diet. Only after its occurrence specialists are able to prescribe a treatment. Treatment for gout is prescribed in order to ease the symptoms that usually consist of extreme pain in the affected joints.

[list][*]The third way of treating gout is the use of corticosteroids such as prednisone, prednisolone and triamcinolone.[*]This treatment is prescribed for patients that can not take NSAIDs or colchine, being the third alternative in treating gout.[*]This treatment has benefic effects after steroids are injected into the joint muscle.[*]Afterwards pain is locally relieved.[/list]

[size=large][b]We Know Two Types of Gout[/b][/size][hr]Acute gout is treated using different medicines such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchines and corticosteroids. The NSAIDs are drugs that help easing the pain and have an anti-inflammatory effect. As NSAIDs we have to mention indomethacin, ketoprofen, oxaprozin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, etodolac, naproxen and sulindac. This type of treatment has proved to be the best in preventing gout attacks and easing the symptoms. NSAIDs are recommended for as long as the patient has symptoms and are taken by mouth three or four times a day. NSAIDs assure the easing of symptoms by suppressing the production of fatty acids called prostaglandins that cause the inflammation and pain in gout sufferers.

[size=large][b]Colchine is the Alternative for Nsaids[/b][/size][hr]This medicine has been used to treat gout for years. It has benefic effects on reducing and even eliminating the pain caused by gout. Even so this treatment is not recommended for persons who can not tolerate side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or abdominal cramps. Colchine is a treatment with benefic effects because it reduces the deposit of uric acid crystals that cause inflammations. An intake of colchine within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of the gout symptoms is believed to have the awaited effect.

[size=large][b]The Second Type of Gout is Chronic Gout[/b][/size][hr]In these cases treatment is prescribed in order to prevent acute gout attack from recurring. In many of the cases this means decreasing the uric acid levels. The recommended treatments are xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosuric agents. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors such as allopurinol lead to decrease of uric acid levels in the organism. Uricosuric agents are medicines that help kidneys to eliminate the excess of the uric acid produced by the body. As uricosuric agents we can mention probenecid or sulfinpyrazone. Looking for something logical on Gout Sufferers, we stumbled on the information provided here. Look out for anything illogical here.

[list][*]Gout is excruciatingly painful.[*]The sufferer suffers great pain and is often unable to walk on their extremities.[*]Often the poor gout victim has to crawl on their hands on knees on the floor just to get around. [/list]

[size=large][b]Gout Affects about 10 % of Men Over the Age of 50 and 10 % of the Women Over[/b][/size][hr]In a large 12 year study of nearly 46,000 health care professionals ( such as surgeons , doctors , nurses and pharmacists that were over the age of it was found that the risk of gout was almost 60 % lower for men who drank 6 cups of coffee a day compared to men who drank no coffee at all. Similarly for men who drank 5 cups of coffee a day the risk was reduced by almost 40 %. When doing an assignment on Gout Attack, it is always better to look up and use matter like the one given here. Your assignment turns out to be more interesting and colorful this way.

The person who suffers from gout is often told to change their eating and drinking habits. Eat less red meat, no organ meats, no beer or red wine, lose weight, no shrimp. Liver, herring, salami or corned beef. But did you know that being a heavy coffee drinker can also help, not hinder your attacks from gout and help you to get over your painful gout attack? Drinking the beverage you like in the morning - coffee may well help your painful gout. If you drink a lot of coffee you are almost half as likely not to suffer from painful gout attacks.

[list][*]Interestingly the similar popular beverage tea did not have any effect in reducing gout.[*]Decaffeinated coffee was helpful in reducing gout but not as much as the real high-test power regular non decaffeinated coffee.[/list]

Coffee may help to keep you alert, increase your thinking performance, give you insomnia and agitation, let you enjoy some socialization with co workers, friends and family at that local "Tim Horton's" Coffee Donut Shop as well with your colleagues and coworkers at the "coffee break" and help your gout. Gout, as you know, is a most painful condition which is more than common. Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis which can occur in any joint in the body, but most commonly in the large joint of the big toe. It has been rececently found that drinking coffee has been shown to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of gout. So if you suffer from gout and are a heavy coffee drinker - keep drinking that coffee and enjoy it.

[size=large][b]Cherries Have Had a Long History of Being Described as the "the Healing Fruit"[/b][/size][hr]Just as cranberries prevent urinary tract infections and an apple-a-day can keep the doctor away, tart cherries are known to stop gout and arthritis pain. But if tart cherries are so good, why haven't you heard more about them? Well first, the FDA doesn't want you to know.

[size=large][b]Tart Cherry Capsules are Another Way to Get Tart Cherries[/b][/size][hr]Tart cherry capsules are made with tart cherry powder. The tart cherry powder is made using the freeze-dried process. The freeze dried process is one of the best ways to get tart cherry powder. The reason is the freeze-dried process captures 100% of the nutritional value of the tart cherry.

Fact, just a few years ago the FDA threatened over two dozen cherries companies for sharing information on the research conducted by the USDA how cherries help fight gout and joint pain. So much for freedom of speech in America. This is something similar to what happened to the cranberry sellers several years ago. They were also threatened. But look at it today, research shows that cranberries can fight kidney stones and urinary tract infection. Thanks for the freedom of speech in America.

[size=large][b]Cherries are a Natural and High Source of Melatonin[/b][/size][hr]This helps to regulate circadian rhythms and maintain nightly sleep patterns. Also, cherries have been shown to have naturally occurring anthocyanins. Although, anthocyanins are present in also any number of colored fruit, the unique make-up of the compounds found in the tart cherry helps to fight joint pain. So in other words, the compounds in the tart cherry are natural COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors.

[list][*]Addition to fresh cherries and cherry drinks you can also choose from tart cherry juice concentrate and tart cherry capsules.[*]One of the benefits of tart cherry juice concentrate is it takes approximately 100 cherries to make just one ounce of tart cherry juice.[*]So the tart cherry juice is a highly concentrated way to get your daily dose of cherries. www.traversebayfarms.com[/list]

Addition to fighting joint pain, research also shows tart cherry juice helps to soothe sore muscles due to physical exercise. According to a study published in the British Journal of Medicine in June 2006, found that a drink made with tart cherry juice proved effective in reducing exercise-caused muscle pain and exercise-induced strength loss. The study was conducted on college athletes and the results basically found that the tart cherry drink helped to reduce pain and strength loss when compared to the placebo.
