If " gout attacks deplete the joints of fluids, which makes for stiffness " ,

dietary collagen type II is used to make synovial fluid and softer joint

cartilage.

If VCO enables some people to walk better, the reason may be fatty acid

imbalance. Excess saturated fat produces much less inflammation than an excess

of polyunsaturated fat.

" Taking virgin coconut oil has not made my gout disappear, or lessened its

visits, " de Quiros wrote, " but it has made walking much easier " ; however, it's

not " the virgin coconut oil replenishing the lost fluids of the knee " , as he

speculates, as there's no coconut oil to be found in the knee.

In the article Dr. Lachman is quoted advising one to control blood pressure

naturally by decreasing sodium intake. One can also attend to low potassium, the

body's primary sodium salt reducer and diuretic. Most of us are low in potassium

anyway. I use " No-Salt " brand.

all good,

Duncan

Duncan:

Your comment on VCO is useful. But you are criticizing polyunsaturated fat. Do

you mean PUFA like olive oil are bad?

Ratan, olive oil is about 74% mono-unsaturated and 25% polyunsaturated.

Excessive dietary polyunsaturated fat is an inflammatory component that tends to

also produce oxidative stress. Monounsaturated fat is less problematic with

regard to inflammation and oxidative stress, and saturated fat does not produce

inflammation and oxidative stress.

Duncan, it slipped from my fingers. I meant omega-3, PUFA, not olive oil. So, do

you mean to say omega-3 is harmful, inflammatory? But yes, VCO should be

consumed raw.

Actually, olive oil is 11% polyunsaturated, 16% saturated (palmitic/stearic),

and the rest mono-unsaturated:

I would like to know if the research that supports the inflammation idea is done

on damaged omega-6 oils or on unrefined, undamaged ones.

Does anyone know this?
