, found the article on cherries & gout

[Guest guest]

Well, it's not the exact article, but about the man who found out

how they can benefit one with gout..Here is the exerpt and then the

website with all information to help treat gout naturally. Oh, and

you don't need to eat as many a day as I initially wrote.

Cherries & Gout

Cherries may well be an effective remedy for many gout sufferers! A

letter in Prevention magazine by Dr. Ludwig W Blau Ph.D relating how

eating a bowl of cherries one day led to complete relief from pain

sparked off the interest in cherries in the treatment of gout (7).

Dr Blau's gout had been so severe that he had been confined to a

wheelchair. One day, quite by accident, he polished off a large bowl

of cherries and the following day the pain in his foot was gone. He

continued eating a minimum of 6 cherries every day and he was free

from pain and able to get out of his wheelchair. Dr Blau's research

led to many other people suffering from gout who reported being

helped by cherries. This effect has also been reported with

strawberries and may be due to the fact that these foods help the

body eliminate uric acid. (8)
