Nursing management of gouty arthritis?

Gout and pseudo-gout are types of arthritis caused by the formation of insoluable crystals in the synovial fluid of joints. Modifying of diet, in which the intake of certain types of animal protein is reduced in order to decrease the production of uric acid, can lower the risk of gout.

Additionally, some medications such as hydrochlorathiazide (a water pill) can also increase the blood levels of uric acid and precipitate gout attacks. Insoluable uric acid crystals form in joints when blood levels of the substance reach excessively high levels.

Inflammation with its redness, swelling and pain, is often severe. Daily consumption of Mangosteen juice can reduce recurrent attacks.

Imagine the impact that the Mangosteen could have on people's well-being (based on the impressive patient reports of pain relief in musculo-skeletal conditions) if it were widely used?

drugs are dangerous and foods, as supplements, are not.

I have a friend with gout, and she says that drinking CHERRY juice as well as eating cherries also helps.
