[size=large][b]The Cause of Osteoarthritis is Not Known, Yet Doctors Have Many Suspicions[/b][/size][hr]Some of the symptoms of Osteoarthritis boggle the minds of scientists and more research needs to take place to determine the actual root of the disease. For instance, X-rays can tell that Arthritis is present, yet the amount of pain reported by Osteoarthritis sufferers differs from the results of the X-ray. Though many people refer to Osteoarthritis as the "wear and tear" disease, evidence shows that this disease and its mysterious cause are not as simple as that definition. In fact, "wear and tear" does not take place in just one joint, but affects joints simultaneously throughout the body. An example of this, is that sufferers with Osteoarthritis of the knee, offer suffer Osteoarthritis in the hand. Also, doctors have noted that patients don't suffer with Osteoarthritis on just one side of the body (as would be expected due to wear and tear) but because it seems to affect the body concurrently, it appears that Osteoarthritis is a systematic disease affecting all of the cartilage at once.

[size=large][b]Osteoarthritis is Known by Many as "Wear and Tear" Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]It is one of the most common forms of Arthritis and is the result of cartilage wearing away from the joints.

[b]Treating Gout from all Angles[/b] Before there were synthetic medications that could almost treat everything, there were holistic treatments that cured ailments by using the body. In the case of gout, people had to watch what they ate and also eat a variety of foods that naturally flushed uric acid levels. Learning about things is what we are living here for now. So try to get to know as much about everything, including Prevent Gout whenever possible.

[b] Fruits and Vegetables-[/b] This almost has its own category because of its effectiveness (I know that fruits and vegetables have to deal with your diet). Studies have shown that fruits and veggies can sometimes cure gout because of their high vitamin, nutrient and antioxidant properties. We suggest cherries, celery, strawberries, avocados, blueberries and grapes. Go for 5 a day! People always think that they know everything about everything; however, it should be known that no one is perfect in everything. There is never a limit to learning; even learning about Kidney Stones.

[b]6. Kidney Cleanse-[/b] Have you had your annual kidney cleanse? When the body is processing large amounts of uric acid, it can often form uric kidney stones in the kidneys. A simple kidney cleanse can remedy the possibility of gout and uric kidney stones. The best way of gaining knowledge about Treat Gout is by reading as much about it as possible.

There is no one who knows everything. So if you don't know much about Gout Sufferers, all that has to be done is to read up on it!

[list][*]People who suffer from gout know that they must drink a lot of water every day.[*]There are two reasons why this is so important in gout treatment.[/list]

Water dilutes uric acid, an excess of which in the body is often, but not always, the immediate cause of gout. Diluted uric acid is more likely to be expelled from the body. If it is, the body's level of uric acid falls. And if uric acid levels fall to the clinical target of 6mg/dL in men, slightly less in women, the troublesome MSU crystals in the joints may dissolve, thus relieving a gout attack and preventing a recurrent one.

[size=large][b]Cow's Milk is Around 88% Water[/b][/size][hr]Not quite as much as a glass of water, but pretty close at the end of a twelve glass day. One study showed that milk proteins could reduce uric acid levels, another that dairy products lowered the risk of getting gout.

[size=large][b]Hence the Exhortations for Gout Sufferers to Drink Water[/b][/size][hr]At least 8 - 12 x 8fl.oz glasses a day, perhaps more. Twelve glasses of water is about twice the recommended daily amount for healthy people. Some people would find this daunting. But it doesn't all have to be "pure" water. This article serves as a representative for the meaning of Natural Gout Treatment in the library of knowledge. Let it represent knowledge well.

[size=large][b]Water Has Another Beneficial Effect[/b][/size][hr]Drinking water generally has a pH of 7.0. At this pH level it has an alkaline effect on the body which is desirable in gout treatment since a more alkaline body is more likely to excrete uric acid. More water, other things being equal, is more likely to excrete uric acid. Slang is one thing that has not been included in this composition on Gout Sufferers. It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English.

[list][*]What can you count as water, apart from "pure" water?[*]The usual includes are tea, juices and milk.[*]Regular coffee?[*]Probably not because of its caffeine.[*]Caffeine, as many people know, acts as a diuretic.[*]That is, it draws water out of cells.[*]But decaffeinated coffee has scarcely any caffeine.[*]We needed lots of concentration while writing on Gout Treatments as the matter we had collected was very specific and important. [*]Since one of the objectives of drinking water is to raise body pH use pH test strips or litmus paper to discover and monitor your pH.[*]Type "pH test strips" or "pH test stix" into an Internet search box to find online suppliers.[*]Make sure you follow the leaflet's instructions, and monitor results by looking for trend changes over time.[*]One test doesn't cut it.[/list]

[size=large][b]Tea is Probably Better Than Coffee for Gout Sufferers[/b][/size][hr]The USDA National Nutrient database shows that tea has less caffeine and that it contains far more beneficial flavonoid antioxidants than does coffee. Black or green. But to get the most antioxidants make your own teapot tea, or with a teabag, and not drink instant versions. The magnitude of information available on Gout can be found out by reading the following matter on Gout. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!

Juices count too and are helpful for gout sufferers if they are made from fruits with high amounts of flavonoid antioxidants. Cherry juice for gout is the most widely touted. But berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are also very high in flavonoid antioxidants and contain useful amounts of vitamin C, which some studies have shown can reduce uric acid levels. Writing this composition on Reduce Uric Acid was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature. Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.
