A SUDDENLY ENLARGED, SCARY-LOOKING BIG TOE

 

What it Means: Probably gout. Yes, that old-fashioned-sounding disease is still very much around—and you don't have to be over 65 to get it. Gout is a form of arthritis (also called "gouty arthritis") that's usually caused by too much uric acid, a natural substance. The built-up uric acid forms needlelike crystals, especially at low body temperatures. And the coolest part of the body, farthest from the heart, happens to be the big toe.

 

"Three-fourths of the time, you wake up with a red-hot swollen toe joint as the first presentation of gout," says podiatrist Andersen.

 

More Clues: Swelling and shiny red or purplish skin—along with a sensation of heat and pain—can also occur in the instep, the Achilles tendon, the knees and the elbows. Anyone can develop gout, though men in their 40s and 50s are especially prone. Women with gout tend to be postmenopausal.

 

CAUSE OF GOUT:

 

Gout is a form of arthritis because it causes pain in the joints, usually the big toe, although other joints can be effected like fingers, elbows, knees, ankles/heels, etc. It is caused by a build-up of Uric Acid in the blood a by-product of the breakdown of old cells and the construction of new ones. When levels rise beyond a certain point, Uric Acid Crystals form and collect in the affected joint or joints, causing excruciating pain. Imagine shards of ground glass inside the joints! These crystals can also form in the body's major organs and do considerable damage, so avoiding pain is not the only reason to keep this serious condition under control.

 

Uric Acid is usually filtered out of the body by the kidneys. But, when there's too much acid in the bloodstream, it begins to accumulate in the joints. Uric Acid Crystals inflict intense joint pain, often in attacks that come without warning. Swelling, inflammation, a sensation that the joint is on fire, and chills or fever can also result. Joints that have an injury or have been weakened from an injury or previous Gout infliction are especially prone to attack.

 

Gout tends to run in families. Three hundred years ago, it was associated with wealth, because Gout attacks were thought to be provoked by eating a rich diet. Now we know the disease afflicts rich and poor alike. More than 95% of people who have gout are men over 30. An estimated 10% to 20% of the population has elevated Uric Acid levels, but only 3 people in 1,000 experience Gout. Nine out of ten people with Gout are middle-aged men; over half of those with Gout have a genetic predisposition to the ailment. Those who are overweight and those prone to high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes are likely candidates.

 

Gout has traditionally been thought of as a disease of the affluent who dine on fatty meats, wines, and rich dairy products. But newer research points to a different culprit: beer. One study found that the major dietary difference between 61 men with Gout and a group of men who didn't have it was that 41% of the Gout group drank more than a dozen cans of beer – two and a half liters – a day.

 

BEST FOR IMMEDIATE ELIMINATION OF URIC ACID & CALMING OF INFLAMMATION:

 

Celery: Eat 4 celery stalks per day or take Celery Seed Extract is very effective: 2 to 4 tablets per day 

Cherries and Berries: Eating eight ounces of canned or fresh cherries (especially black) or berries (especially strawberries and blueberries). Black Cherry Juice is very effective: ¼ to ½ cup per day. Cherry/Berry Cocktail: Mix cherry, pineapple, strawberry, and blueberry juices together with a little bit of licorice and a lot of ginger and turmeric.
