Did Bach Flower Essences Cure His Gout?

Last week I told you about a friend who was suffering from gout.

I had talked him into considering the cause. According to Hay's book, Heal Your Body, it was impatience and anger, which he knew he had.

Then I convinced him to try Bach Flower essences to treat the emotional reasons for his pain. After a bit of research on the Bach Flowers website, we settled on a blend of Holly, Cherry Plum, Wild Rose, and Impatins. After all, Bach remedies will do no harm, even combined with medications, so he had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Fortunately, I have the entire set of 38 Bach Flower Essences on my shelf, so he started treatment right away.

Deciding on a 2-pronged approach to the problem, he also started drinking cherry juice.

Which one cured the gout? Or was it the combination of Bach Flower Remedies, cherry juice, and the energy he was focusing on healing?

In contrast to this natural means of healing is our neighbor. He suffered a severe gout attack some time in the summer of 1967. His doctor prescribed a remedy, which worked, but advised that he needed to take it religiously in order to avoid a future attack. That man has been taking that prescription every morning now for almost 45 years!

I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound at all appealing to me.

Thanks for your blogpost as I am looking for the treatment for gout as there is more important to cure it in early stages. Many sites describes on this and moves positively towards treatment for gout with more better options.

Gout can really be an excruciating condition. My girlfriend's dad will get a small flare up from eating too much shell fish every now and then. I actually just read a really great article about foods that can prevent gout flare-ups. Too be honest, it really opened my eyes to how what we ingest can affect us.

Gout can certainly be a real pain in the arse!!! I recently read this article about this gout medication known as Krystexxa. According to the results, the medication was able to lower symptoms in patients with a severe case of gout. However, it also showed that there are a number of adverse side effects from taking it. Apparently, this would not be something to consider unless you have had absolutely no luck with more common gout treatments.

Wow, thanks for providing the link to that really eye opening post. I am actually a bit shocked at the side effects that were reported as a result of taking this Krystexxa. Seriously, you would have to have had zero luck in other departments to risk that. From my own experience, I know that one of the best things to do is cut out those purine-rich foods which can really mess with your gout symptoms. I am sure that would help your GF's dad recover from his gout attack.
