How to Get Rid of Tophi Lumps

Tophi lumps do not cause any pain, they popped up out of nowhere, they grow more and bigger, they become ugly and annoying. This is the problem faced by many gout patients who have been having the problem of high uric acid for a long period of time.

Well, thophy lumps are not painful like the torturing gout attacks, but they usually grow on the hands around the fingers. If they grown around the joints and the size keep on increasing, eventually it will "lock" the particular joints until it is very to bend it. That will affect the quality of your life as you might not be able drive or even hold the spoon to feed yourself.

To date, there is not effective method to get rid of tophi lumps. Tophi lumps is not like a tumor that you can simply remove with surgery. This is because tophi lumps have irregular shapes that grow over time and this crooked shape "stone" has roots that wraps around the joints, blood vessels or even nerves. Even if a lump is near the skin surface and hasn't rooted deep in to muscle tissue which make it possible to be removed via surgery, but it will grow again after some time.



Thus, in order to effectively get rid of tophi lumps, you must first understand how does tophi lump form, only then you can trace down the root cause and remove it once and for all. Otherwise, paying so much money for advanced surgery is just like scratching the surface of the problem and repeat the frustrating cycle again after a period of time.

Here is a simple fact. In order for the tophi lumps to grow, they need constant supply of "build blocks" which is uric acid! Before you think about how to get rid of tophi lumps, you need to first stop the lumps from growing by blocking the supply of uric acid to the site. I'm not asking you to chop off your hands or block the blood supply to the affected zone. You need to lower down the uric acid levels in your body and the only effective way to achieve this objective is with the help of alkaline ionic calcium.

Simple science, the root cause of the problem is acid and the only thing that can neutralize acid is alkaline. Ionic calcium is a natural and effective source of alkalinity that can be consumed by human to help flush out the excess uric acid in the body. Not only it can help to reduce the uric acid level in the body, it can also dissolve the existing gouty tophi gradually. Look, we are talking about dissolving a "stone" inside your body with the help of ionic calcium water, it takes some time, just be patient and keep on drinking it.

How Can Gouty Tophi Be Dissolved Naturally?

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...

How Temperature Affects The Formation of Gouty Tophi?

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...

Coffee and Gout - YES, It Does Cause Attacks!

Who doesn’t like a cup of coffee in the morning? As you wake up to the morning rush, one of the first things you look for is some caffeine to wake your cloudy mind up. Well, rushing through the morning traffic jam half-sleepy is not a wise idea anyway. Unfortunately, it is not just you that coffee wakes up. It wakes GOUT ATT­­­ACKS up as well. This article aims to explain why coffee triggers gout attacks. Study suggests that. . . Study suggests that coffee is good for gout sufferers. That is one of the many vantage point coffee-supplement vendors emphasize. While it is true that there are several studies about coffee such as a study suggesting that moderate coffee drinkers suffer less from gout , none of them proved so. This is because those are simply statistical studies. They are experiments that goes like this: Statistician asks you “How old are you? Are you a gout sufferer? Do you drink coffee? How often?” then returns after a few couple of years asking the same set of...
