But the report clearly describes GoutPal as a "Major Player". So read on to see why this crucial difference is important to gout sufferers. Also, read my summary of celery seed information for gout sufferers. Plus a bonus for people who are really interested in learning about gout and uric acid. continue reading Impact of Celery Seed Extract for Gout...

At the moment, my gout story is easy. Because I'm taking allopurinol each day. So gout doesn't bother me personally. Although I do have visible tophi which I think will last for years. But my GoutPal role is very busy right now. Because I'm moving servers. So I'm taking the opportunity to reorganize and redesign. continue reading When Keith Started GoutPal.com...

Gout Pain Fix Driven By BS

August 28, 2008February 20, 2018 by KeithTaylor Comment Closed

Yesterday, somebody asked me "What is the protein and uric acid connection?" I can sum it up in two words. Very complex. But you want more than that, don't you? The simplest explanation is that purines from cell metabolism and some foods get broken down to uric acid in the human body. Most other animals produce other enzymes (uricase) that continue to breakdown uric acid further, so that it is easier to excrete. Humans do not have that enzyme because we want to keep some of the uric acid. It neutralizes free oxygen radicals in our body that would otherwise cause extensive cell damage. That is why normal human lifespan is greater than many animals. From that, we can see that the protein and uric acid connection is a simple one: (more…)...
