Gouty Tophi Can Be Removed...

The answer is... YES! But it's going to take as much time as the gouty tophus took to form to the current stage. Take a look a the video below to get an idea that gouty tophi can be dissolved naturally. But before we can talk about dissolving the existing gouty tophi, we have to focus how to stop the further formation or growth of the tophi FIRST. It makes no sense if you are try to dissolve on one end while it's still growing on the other end. First of all you have to stop eating all high purine foods or foods that are known to be able to trigger gout attack. Then you will have to start consuming more alkaline foods , generally are mostly green leafy vegetables to increase the alkaline minerals content in the body. Alkaline minerals play a very important role in 'pulling' the uric acid molecules out from the giant crystal unit of gouty tophi, alkaline mineral serves as a powerful magnet that can disengage the building blocks of the gouty tophus. Once the

Gouty Tophi is the accumulation of urate crystal deposits underneath the skin, usually it won't cause any infection or serious pain. But if the growth of the tophus lump is not contained, it will grows to a stage in which the pressure within is strong enough to burst and leave an open wound which is the beginning of infection.  Another situation is the patient himself cannot stand having a lump on the feet that makes it inconvenient to walk or even wear a shoes, he will go to a doctor or DIY himself to poke a hole on the lump to squeeze out the white milky urate crystal fluid, if it this procedure is not handled properly, the patient may risk getting an infected gouty tophus.  Unlike the other types of skin open wounds that are caused by external factors such as scratching or cut, gouty tophi wound is unique because the actual wound is larger than you can see on the surface. This is because gouty tophi grow from inside, it has already beat a pathway through the

Have you ever wondered why gouty tophy only found on certain parts of the body such as earlobe, fingers, elbow, knee, and almost only on the surface of the skin. Before I explain about this phenomena, I have to briefly discuss about the heat regulation of human body. Every cell in the body does generate energy and some heat in the process of metabolism, but for a healthy human body, majority of the body heat is generated in organs that are constantly working such as heart, liver, and brain, thus the center of heat is in the torso and and middle of the head. But there must be some channels for the body to dissipate excess heat in order to maintain the body temperature at 37.5 degree Celsius.  The 3 Channels of Body Heat Dissipation Heat Distribution Put a hand close to your mouth or nose and then slow breathe out, you can feel the warm air blowing on you hand, that is heat dispersion through breathing. If you dare, try to collect your pee in a paper cup and then dip you

The formation of gouty tophi is the result of excessive accumulation of urate crystals beneath the skin surface. This is a direct result of long term exposure to high uric acid in the body. Gouty tophus or tophi (many) usually begin as a soft little swollen lump on the skin surface, often seen around the earlobe and area of joints. Many people tend to ignore it when it small and soft, thinking that it will disappear by itself over time. As they drag it for weeks, months and years... The soft lumps grow larger and harden to become a stone-like structure. If it is already reached this stage, it is quite hard for the doctor to remove the gouty tophi through surgery because possible part of the tophus has already entangled with some body tissues and it is very risky to just simply cut it out.  Thus, it is best to take action while the gouty tophi are still 'young' and soft, the procedure is very simple, just poke the swollen lump with a sharp sterile needle and squeeze
