Gout #16, Ancient Advice on Gout

Has understanding of Gout advanced over the centuries? The list of foods to avoid and eat given out by the medical establishment is about 0% true.

Gout #15, My Experience with Doctors and Healers

My bias is that the person that cares most and knows most about your body is you. You have more than a special connection and communication with your own body. Communication from your body to you cannot be necessarily communicated in words to another. Delegation of health to another is not possible.

I made my 2011 New Year’s resolution to not take pain killers to alleviate gout symptoms so that I would cure my gout (which remarkably lead to my last gout attack ending on Dec 30, 2011 and then being completely gout free for 2012). I then finished a normal excess drinking gout episode by January 7, and then the months passed, and absolutely nothing happened
