Instead of “what is gout?”, it was probably more like, “what did I do to myself?” That’s the way it was for me anyway – I thought I had twisted my ankle but I couldn’t remember doing it. Probably to answer the question, “what is gout?”, you were on the right track in the first place to ask, “what did I do to myself?” . . . because the reality is, all that gout pain you’re experiencing now . . . you did do to yourself.
What Is Gout – the answer and the question
Would you like a definition of What Is Gout: a medical condition usually characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis—a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. That sums it up fairly well but I summed it up in another post like this: IT FRIGGIN’ HURTS!
Most people twist the “what is gout thing” all up by talking about high purine foods, uric acid crystallizing in the joints, and eating too much red meat and drinking too much alcohol. Those are just components – not the whole story. What it comes down to is this: the kidneys can’t get rid of the uric acid that the body is making because they are too busy trying to deal with the toxic acidic overload from a lot of other sources.
A kidney is an amazing organ and it regulates the pH of the body. When you keep filling your body up with toxic acidity from foods & drinks, breathing poorly and breathing poor quality air, exposing yourself to weird toxic chemicals both from breathing and what comes in contact with your skin, and all the metabolic acidity that you create by living all stressed out all the time . . . the uric acid is just one more assault on your hard working kidneys!
So the next time you start asking “what is gout?”, stop and ask:
You’ll start to get a whole new perspective about what is gout – and it will change the way you go about your day. It’s an especially good question to ask yourself everyday, because as soon as you get over the gout attack you’re having now, you’ll stop thinking about gout altogether . . . until the next gout attack hits.
You need to be asking yourself “What Is Gout?” everyday.
