KJ CH.com Alumnus Offline Posts: 596 Indianapolis, IN Gender:	Clusters and Gout Oct 13^th, 2008 at 7:39pm I remember someone exploring a possible connection between the two conditions a while ago.....maybe a year or so. Who was it? Did you find one? Please comment or PM me. I'll hang up now, and wait for your response.

Hmmm. Gout is caused by:

Gout (also called metabolic arthritis) is a disease created by a buildup of uric acid. In this condition, monosodium urate or uric acid crystals are deposited on the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues due to elevated concentrations of uric acid in the bloodstream. This provokes an inflammatory reaction of these tissues.

Never heard of any connection between this and CH. If whoever said something months ago I'd like to hear it so I can tell them they are

(Insert word here)

Hurt people.....hurt people. Think about it.

Well I can tell you this much about it from personal experience. No Legumes, nothing from the cabbage family, and nothing brewed. So Beer is out of you diet Poncho. No more Peanut Butter and crackers, and say good bye to Coleslaw.
I have know idea about any connection to CH. But it has a definite connection to pain in your joints. Real Pain that does not stop in 1-3 hours either. So be carefull. Unlike CH, they know how to take care of Gout.

And fleas and lice are of two different species. Just like CH and Gout.

Will try to find a link to that. If so, there could be a connection between the two...even though they can fix gout but not CH. Going on my research safari...back in a bit. PFDAN y'all, kathy
