Treating Gout / Uric Acid

1. Cherry juice, the benefits of which aren't just some old wives' tale, but have been known to alleviate gout symptoms since 1950! You can take either a daily dose of a cup of tart cherry juice (twice a day) or a daily cherry extract supplement.

2. Apple cider vinegar, with a tablespoon or two in a glass of water sipped during the day being all you need to lower uric acid buildup.

3. Vitamin C, which can significantly reduce uric acid and your risk of gout when you take just 1,500 mg a day.

And one thing you want to be sure to keep as low as possible is anything that contains fructose, especially in the form of HFCS, agave syrup, crystalline fructose, or even sugar, as that will quickly raise your uric acid levels.

Beware of Dyes for MRI

Gadolinium and how it can damage your organs:
1. It's highly toxic.
2. It's linked to eye, skin, ear, nose, and throat problems.
3. It's not completely excreted by your kidneys (as we were told was the case years ago).
4. It has turned up in the brain (as well as in brain tumor biopsies) and other body tissues.
5. It has been linked to the rapid growth of cancer cells.
6. It has caused a host of health problems in people who were perfectly fine up until they were injected with it (including a gruesome condition called "nephrogenic system fibrosis" that turns skin thick and hard like wood, often causing paralysis).
