[QUOTE="stuffedolive, post: 627196, member: 65903"] Forge, I don't think anyone is arguing that excess purines in the bloodstream don't cause gout, they do. What's at question here is what makes the body deposit this excess purine as gout inducing crystals instead of expelling them as waste products. The reasons are undoubtedly complex (although clearly diet related), not yet fully understood and subject to genetic variation in the individual. The response to this seems two-fold. Firstly,.as you say, reduce the amount of purines in the bloodstream. Again, two options here i) reduce the amount getting in in the first place. This is clearly a diet/genetic variation issue as to what makes the purines from our food, not forgetting that our own cell metabolism also generates purines and this could also be exercise related. ii) reducing the concentration of purines in the bloodstream. Good hydration is key as is kidney function and kidney function depends on a whole range of complex factors as we diabetics should know.. Secondly, how to get rid of gouty crystals one they have formed. The choice here is prescription drugs or 'other remedies' if they work for you and CV works for me and others report the same [/QUOTE]
