To address gout, the first and most important steps are:
- Eliminate refined sugars (cane sugar, beet sugar, powdered sugar, raw sugar, evaporated cane juice, high-fructose corn syrup, etc.), esp. sodas and alcohol. Drinks containing high-fructose corn syrup contributes to uric acid buildup in the body more than things people with gout are normally told to avoid (like meat). Avoiding meat is not necessary but meats from organically-raised animals is ideal.
- Take Mineral Essence daily. This specific supplement is important for two main reasons in this case. First--those with gout are generally deficient in minerals and these minerals are necessary to help bring get pH balance more alkaline since acidity promotes the formation of uric acid crystals. Second--Mineral Essence contains cinnamon essential oil which has been proven to help reduce levels of uric acid in the body. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0944711308001086
