Do you seriously want it?


Thank goodness my dad doesn't know how to use a computer. And my sisters think chickens are awful, so no fear of them having yet another thing to tattle on me for.

Yes, Yes!! Post that recipe - really, how would they ever find out?

i have to respond here. i get episodes of gout. have one right now in my shoulder. it hits while you're sleeping mostly. let me tell you, it's a pain no person should have to endure. even the wind makes it hurt. seriously. i got tired of getting shots and taking pills, so here's what i do...

1 cup hot water
2 tsp. honey (must be clover honey, i don't know why)
2 tsp. apple vinegar

mix well and drink. my gout episode is gone in a hour or so. strange, i know. but it works.

also, start drinking cherry juice. the real stuff. it's expensive, but worth it. i buy concentrate from the local health food stores. drink a glass for breakfast. i usually get an episode when i've been a little too heavy with beer....

i take ibuprofin (sp?) for the swelling and it helps greatly. i take 800mg twice daily when i'm having an episode of gout. gets it feeling better quickly. at least so i can function.

another great juice is pomegranate (sp?). that's even better than cherry if you can find it. but for the most part, the honey, vinegar and water work wonders. plus, i'm not ingesting any medication.

poor hubby.... guess the really old photo I found on the web of a policeman in his uniform with a bad case of the gout and swollen neck the size of Texas will help you all feel better? You can say, at least you're not like that guy.

Hey, how did a thread on my DH's gout turn into a cheesecake discussion?
