Arthritis with Gout by David R. Card

Gout is a type of arthritis where uric acid creates crystals and builds up in various joints, often most painful in the large toes.

Gouty arthritis comes when the body is unable to digest protein, and the kidneys are unable to get rid of uric acid. Uric acid crystals may end up in the joints of the large toe, ankles, knees, and other parts of the body. The causes are often dietary. Remove meats, especially pork and red meat. Tobacco, alcohol and coffee may contribute.

Modern medicine uses drugs that help with symptoms but may have toxic side effects.

Healing protocol for Gouty Arthritis:

Using the complete protocol of an herb (or herbal combination), cell salt solution, and a homeopathic remedy, you should expect to see relief of symptoms in hours to weeks depending upon the severity and length of time you have had symptoms. Expect to use these products for several weeks to months to strengthen the body.

These remedies should not conflict with medications. Check with your doctor. Warning - do not stop prescription medications unless under the direction of your doctor. If you are pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor.

  1. Choose one or more of the herbs. A general rule is 2 capsules 3 times a day, or you may adjust as needed.
  2. Add the cell salt solution to support mineral deficiencies.
  3. Then, choose one of the homeopathic remedies that best fits your situation.
