Lowering uric acid is achievable by taking some medicines recommended by the doctor. In my case, the doctor recommended me Allopurinol. However, just like any other medicines, this one have some side effects. So, I decided investigating reasonable remedies in lowering uric acid.
But before diving in, let’s also talk something about arthritis because having high uric acid can also cause arthritis. When you start aging, Arthritis also starts to become a part of that age. However, what’s bothering is that, younger generations now are having Arthritis as well. This is because of unhealthy lifestyle, lack of exercise and very poor diet.

When you are diabetic, the more prone you become to fall victim of Arthritis. Just a couple of weeks ago, I myself was lame for a day because of a very painful knee. I cannot make my leg straight, nor bend it that much. It’s just so painful that made me sit for the entire day.
Causes of Arthritis
There are several causes of Arthritis. One cause is due to wear and tear of our joints. This is often called osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis on the other hand happens when the lubricant fluid in your joints called synovium drops due to immune system problems. The third cause of arthritis is due to accumulation of uric acid that becomes “gout”.
We humans have uric acid. It is a product of metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides (Wikipedia). However, having too much of it can also cause some serious complications. It can affect your kidneys and some other organs of your body just like that of high sugar level. This is why it is important to control your uric acid level.

How much do u drink before u refill? How much do u drink in a day?
It depends. The rule of thumb is, the ingredients should be useful for 1 day. After that, you have to change it. Also, I just drink this if I know that I have too much purine intake and if necessary. But let’s say you have arthritis attack, then I suggest that you make it a juice drink for the next two days.
is this a drink that is safe to consume everyday, all day ? I garden everyday when spring starts and this sounds like it would be a nice switch from just plain water.
I will not probably consume it everyday. But if I eat meat, or something that is high in uric acid, I will make 2 pitcher of this and drink it for the next 2 days.
I cannot believe how quickly this worked and that I didn’t know about it, incredible remedy. Does it loose efficacy with use?
Soaking it in water for 24 hours is enough.
How much ginger? And a whole cucumber?
Not so big… Just a size of your two thumbs combined plus 1 small but whole cucumber is enough.
I have gout for the last 6mths I’m in so much pain. I hope this works😯
