I first developed this list of suggestions for gout and arthritis relief for a client who had developed a sudden onset of gout. She found dramatic relief with a day of two. I hope you find it helpful, too.
First, & foremost, drink unsweetened Cherry juice.
Days 1 & 2 – 1 quart each day
Days 3 & 4 – 2 cups each day
Day 5 and thereafter – 1 cup each day
Make it part of your daily life routine.
If you are using a concentrate, add 2 Tbsp to a cup of water to make the juice. On days 1 & 2, you would drink 4 cups; on days 3 & 4 drink 2 cups, 1 cup thereafter.
Drink an herbal tea that includes some of the following herbs: Stinging Nettles, Oatstraw, Horsetail, Dandelion leaf, Licorice, Sarsaparilla root, Sassafras. Any herbalist would be happy to blend a tea especially for you. You might want to consider my Strong as Nails tea, and my Love Your Liver Tea
