 Gout:  

If you suffer from gout then read this, it may save you from much pain. One has suffered from gout for a number of years, however lately it has become unbearable. Many years ago it started in the big toe then spread under the food to the ankles. In the last few years it has further spread to the elbows and knees. If you have gout in the ankles or knees, then you know what pain in. Initially one was prescribed "Naprosyn SR750" for the gout. Have a good look at the warning "Before you take NAPROSYN SR" and the warning "Side Effects". Even after reading this you will still take Naprosyn to overcome the pain, it does work, but do not take it for long periods.   When the gout got really bad you are prescribed "ColdGout" and "Panadeine Forte"; After reading  "Side Effects" for "Panadeine Forte" one decided not to take it. In October 2005 one was on the phone to John and Maeva Bennet [vk2aal & vk2hug] about gout, John has diabetes and gets severe gout from time to time. He suggested that one get a prescription for "ColdGout" and take porridge [rolled oats]. The "ColdGout" one will not touch after reading the side effects and talking to John, the porridge one can not stand, it is foul and awful [will throw up if one eats that rubbish].  During February 2006 the gout in the ankles was so bad could not sleep and one spent all night and morning on the internet trying to find a relief  for the pain, that did not use drugs. At 5am in the morning, one was so much in pain decided to try John's suggestion of porridge. There was only half a cup in the kitchen. Had trouble eating it, gee its awful. By 5:15am relief from pain was starting, by 5:30am pain was down to ten percent. After sleeping for a few hours, the pain was reduced to approximately nothing. The next two days one eat porridge every morning, however on the third day forgot to take my porridge medicine, the gout flared up on that day, not as bad as before but still with pain. From that day one has not forgotten porridge every morning - resulting in no gout from that point in time. I do not know if it is placebo effect working, but it works. If you have a cure for server gout, then please send me a message so we can all benefit. Hence the saying - If you have gout eat porridge.

Note: I have since heard that my gout was possibly removed by the magnetic inlays. If you can reinforce this, please email me.
