Holy smokes. . .what’s new? Well, let me tell you. I’ve spent the last 9 months upgrading the website. The search box stopped working over a year ago then, little by little, other things stopped working and it felt like a degrading radioactive isotope. Check out Nick’s fabulous job on my site map! https://naturalhealthtechniques.com/sitemap.htm It took every spare minute, nights and weekends for months at a time to do this project. My goal was to be up and running by mid-March, but that didn’t happen I am sorry to say. It put me way behind on getting out newsletters too as the old program wouldn’t let me update information any longer and the old program wouldn’t work on the new computer. Now I have to double-opt in all of you because the process has taken so long. What a mess. SO happy that it is mostly complete now and that I can see the end of it for a little while anyway (until I put up more handouts that is.)

Gout

Ninety percent of gout cases occur in overweight men over the age of 35. Gout, often called “rich man’s disease”, usually runs in the family. It may also be associated with improper digestion, toxic bowels, kidney stones, athlerosclerosis, overeating of rich and fatty foods, drinking too much alcohol, crash diets, stress, certain medications (blood pressure, chemotherapy and antibiotics), yeast infections, surgery or injury to the joints.

It acts as an antiseptic, diuretic and helps to dissolve bladder, kidney and gallstones which cause inflammation of the urethra and prostate. It reduces irritation and helps to soothe irritated tissue (including gout).
