Man I do NOT have the suds, anymore

Just a suggestion: My wife had gout and she had to cut a lot of protein out of her diet. Cut down on meat, cheese, eggs, and nuts. Go to small portions of protein foods. The doctor gave her prescription Indocin for pain and swelling.
You need to permanently cut back a little, cause it can come back.
Your body is trying to tell you something.

My knees use to hurt, but now they don't. The best thing I did was not getting hooked on medicine. Get away from advil, it eats up your cartilage.
Drink a lot more water.
I think taking Magnesium Serene powder, from the health food store, with water helped me the most. I originally took it for my muscle pain, but now my knees are fine. You just need a 1/5 of a teaspoon in water, to start, or you'll be running for the bath room. Only get the powder, the pills are junk and no combination of ingredients.
Take Some type of fish oil capsule.
Everybody needs magnesium, but you won't hear it from a doctor.

If your serious about your body, do a little PH test on it. Get a cheap roll of Hydrion paper or some PH strips from the pharmacy or swimming pool supply. Follow the directions.
Test your water and your body.
If your body's PH is under normal PH @ 7.2-7.5 your body is acidic.
You don't want low 6's.
Stay on this road and you're headed for cancer.
Your doctor won't tell you this cause that's how they make their money and they don't treat it this way, that's why it doesn't work. It seems that they actually do the opposite.
Listen and live, or be dumb and die is hard to say to some one, but everybody thinks their doctor has all the answers.
Why would you take your car to a mechanic with a 3% success rate?
I didn't mean to get on that subject, but it all fits.

Look up alkaline diet foods and juice them to make it easy, and drink a bottle of high PH water once in a while. ( 9.2 PH water at Krogers Foods )
Start drinking more water right now.
Try different types of alkaseltzer for pain, and it's alkaline, which is the direction you want to go.
Cut back on the listed acidic foods and drink, like pop.
Get your PH back to normal. To alkalize, helps everything.

When you start feeling better from an" Alkaline Diet ", you'll know why. Just start a little at a time. Don't be dumb.

Hope this helps.
