    About this ebook

    Swollen joints happen because of an accumulation of uric acid in the bloodstream, which then crystallizes in the joints. People who are affected by gout often have a fever and a general feeling of malaise associate with the disease. While gout is exceedingly painful, with proper treatment there is no reason why people with gout cannot be expected to make a full recovery. Without proper treatment, however, gout can cause life-long conditions and destruction of the joint and its supportive connective tissue. People who have gout often have a tendency to indulge in rich foods and drink, though some affected individuals have a genetic component to the disease. Gout is treatable with a wide range of treatment options including pharmacological, herbal, at-home and alternative treatments. People living with gout can expect full recover with proper management.

      Full of unnecessary info. Almost no info on what to eat and what not to eat. Diet part was not discussed properly and focused more on history of gout and other unimportant things
    • 5/5
      It was written in layman's term... and the preventive instructions are simple and easy to follow... Highly recommended for people experiencing gout attack.

    Chapter 1 - Introduction to Gout

    Gout is famous. Throughout the annals of history, gout features prominently in literature and art. Gout has the infamous reputation as being a disease that primarily affects wealthy, well-born people. In fact, in literature and ancient medical texts, gout is known as a rich man’s affliction.

    King Henry VIII remains, perhaps, the most famous person to reportedly be affected by gout, and his penchant for indulgence is well documented. Gout causes inflammatory arthritis of the joints and while treatable, the incidence of gout is on the rise in the US and other developed countries.

    Typically affecting the joint of the great toe, gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the blood, which can occur when the body is in a disease state, and more commonly when the diet is rich in a specific amino acid called purine. While some people benefit from changes in diet as a means to control their gout symptoms, the disease can be debilitating.

    Because gout is easily treated, some assume that it is not prevalent or a cause for concern, but this is not true. Not only do gout cases occur in 1% to 2% of the population, it can be indicative of deeper health issues in those affected by gout. Additionally, the quality of life is compromised in the person living with gout.
