Gout: A New Treatment For an Old Disease

Gout is a form of arthritis due to the buildup of uric acid crystals in one or more joints. Uric acid is a byproduct that is produced when certain foods containing purines are metabolized. While uric acid normally is excreted through the kidneys into the urine, people who have gout have an accumulation of uric acid in the joints. This causes an inflammatory reaction leading to pain and swelling in the affected joints.

An increased risk for gout comes with eating foods rich in purines. Examples are: salmon, sardines, organ meats, asparagus, mushrooms and herring.

Gout is more common in people who are overweight, drink excessive amounts of alcohol or who have high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure. Men develop gout more often than women. Women are more likely to develop gout after menopause. Gout also tends to run in families.

Bronchitis – Prevention And Treatment

Chronic bronchitis is one of several lung diseases that are collectively known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COCPD. Chronic bronchitis is defined as the presence of a mucus producing cough that persist for at least three months in at least two consecutive years. Such a cough occurs when the lining of the bronchi branches of the trachea through which inhaled air and exhaled gas pass becomes irritated and inflamed. Though the onset is gradual, relapses become more frequent as the condition worsens and eventually the cough may become continuous. Long standing chronic bronchitis causes the passageways of the lungs to become irreversibly narrowed, which can seriously impair breathing. Chronic bronchitis cannot be cured according to conventional medicine but treatment can provide symptom relief and help prevent such complications.
