Cissus to Help With Gout Posted: 08-10-07 08:38am
Hey everyone,
I have been suffering with gout for about
12 years now, and have had it in every
joint you could name. Like everyone, I am
looking for the things that may be a
"miracle cure" so that I do not have to
stress every time I eat a meal.
My hobby is weightlifting, so I am focused
on my diet and protein consumption. I do
get a lot of protein from dairy, but I
like to have chicken and turkey as well,
but if I overdo it, especially on turkey,
I can get a flare.
Anyway, about 6 months ago, I started
taking a supplement called cissus
quadrangulis, which is commonly called
cissus for short. It is part of the
ayuvidic diet over in India, et al. I have
found that I have not had any flares, and
I am getting some mobility back in my
ankles which have been hard hit by the
attack.
I take a quarter teaspoon of the bulk
cissus, twice a day, mixed with a whey
protein shake.
I am curious if anyone has tried this, or
has any more info on it.
Hang in there,
Ray
