This review is from: Beating Gout: A Sufferer's Guide to Living Pain Free (Paperback)
I've been suffering from gout for about two years and I'm frustrated that most of the information you find online conflicts each other. Doctor's don't give you much information and I was misdiagnosed several times. I can't take the common drug Allopurinol so I decided the buy the book to gain more information.The book is a compilation of information gathered from different resources. It's thorough regarding the different treatments and drugs available. What I found most valuable was the food list that listed many foods and their purine contents.
***Update - I commented on how the food lists were valuable. One thing I wanted to point out is that there is little information on diet. As an example, the book explains that beer can raise your uric acid and that it is off limits. When you look at the food list it states that beer has 13 grams of purine. When you look at chicken for instance, it has over 100 grams - does this mean that chicken is deadly? Also, I've always been told to stay away from red meat but then again, ground beef shows much lower purine than chicken. I'm not debating if the info is correct, but how do you use this information? It's impossible to completely eliminate purine from your diet - this book doesn't focus on this.

Essential Information for Gout Sufferers, Jun 1 2009

This review is from: Beating Gout: A Sufferer's Guide to Living Pain Free (Paperback)
I have been treated for Gout by my Doctor and by a Naturopath for several years, with mixed results. I've eaten cherries, taken Alopurinol, eliminated beer and reduced alcohol, cut back on meat, and tried numerous other remedies. I could expect a painful attack about once or twice a month regardless of all my efforts. This book was the first time I really began to understand the mechanism of Gout in total and how it is treated today. As a result of this book, I have not had an attack in over 5 months and am not making any onerous sacrifices. Rather than giving you one particular cure that will eliminate Gout for everyone, this book enables you to understand your disease and to work with your doctor to develop a solution that will make Gout a minor irritation in your life. Do I recommend it? If you have Gout, you don't need to ask.

This review is from: Beating Gout: A Sufferer's Guide to Living Pain Free (Perfect Paperback)
This book is filled with very useful information in fairly simple terms to help put an end the the nightmare that is gout. Even a section of technical jargon that you can take to your doctor to help get your treatment plan adjusted! I recommend this book to anyone with gout.
