OUCH GOUT!!!
Last week I could feel it coming on – GOUT! Been there, done that, was not something I was looking forward to. If you have had an attack of Gout, you know what I am talking about.
Well over the weekend it really hit hard, with a swollen big toe on my left foot. It wasn’t bad cutting grass sitting on my Dixon ZTR but any walking around was painful. I spent a lot of time with my foot elevated while I laid on the couch. I didn’t feel bad about this because I had made a trip to LA Fitness Sunday morning for a good workout, just nothing that required walking.
This morning, Monday, I had a scheduled doctor’s appointment for my annual physical. BP good, Cholesterol good, no unusual aches or pains, no chest pains, just one big fat swollen toe! The doctor was pretty bored. Before my physical, my wife tells me that she heard on Dr Oz that raisins soaked in gin brings relief for arthritis, or gout. The doctor has never heard of this.
Personally, I am thinking this is okay because a year ago I stopped drinking alcohol as it creates uric acid which causes gout. Now I am thinking that my GIN Martinis would go good with 9 or so golden raisins!
Well, I get home and I have a whole jar full of raisins soaked in GIN. I am thinking this is okay! Think I may look forward to remedy!
Anyone ever heard of this?

Hi Steve, Hope the gout gets better soon. I think too much protein is also a major culprit. Monitor your nuts n seeds etc. Cheers David

Haven’t had much protein lately. Have you heard about Raisins soaked in Gin? Not sure if works but I do like Raisins and Gin. Hummmmm

Just a quick follow up on the Gout. It has cleared up nicely and I am back at it. I did have an interesting experience last Monday.
Last Monday I had an appointment for my annual physical. During the questioning period with the nurse after getting repeated NO answers to the barrage of health related questions, she said “this is kind of boring”. I then told her
that I was experience a gout attack. She felt much better.
The doctor gave me a clean bill of health and off I went.
Later that evening I called a friend about an unrelated matter and mentioned that my gout had flared up. She immediately told me about Sol U Mel (a Meleluca cleaning product). She said to soak my foot in warm water with a cap full of Sol U Mel in it.
I did. Immediately the sensitivity of foot diminished. I was overwhelmed! Give it a try….
