Chronic Tophaceous Gout Symptoms

     Gout gives you and the people you love undeserved pain, suffering and stress. What if I tell you that there is a form of gout that is PAINLESS? Would you like to downgrade to that form of gout? I don’t think so. Tophaceous gout is painless, yet it will give you suffering, discomfort and not to mention obstruction.

     This article aims to explain details about tophaceous gout. What is it? And how do you treat this almost painless devil?

Tophaceous Gout is Discomfort Given Form

     Tophaceous gout, also known as chronic tophaceous gout and sometimes referred to as Harrison Syndrome, is a type of gout with no inflammation. Still, there is a protruding nodule in the affected joint. Take note that there may still be seasons of gout flare-ups which can still be VERY VERY VERY VERY PAINFUL.

     Tophaceous gout has this protruding nodule that does not subside. It is not the swollen joint that protrudes. It is tophus.

     Tophus (plural is tophi) is a white-yellowish chalky nodule that appears underneath the skin. Usually, it appears in the earlobes and the outer ear. But, in the case of Harrison Syndrome, it appears on the joint itself. It can vary in size, ranging from microscopic to the size of a baseball. Weirdly, it rarely hurts. Does this make it a downgraded form of gout? NO.

     If bad luck strikes, the tophaceous deposit will form in places you never imagined, such as the kidneys, pancreas, penis and inner ear! OUCH.  Needless to say, tophaceous deposit in the pancreas and the kidney can be severely damaging. Take a look at this case of gouty tophi in the pancreas.
Tophus can also decide to appear in places where it can be very hindering. Just imagine a tophaceous deposit growing in the fingers! In that case you may not even be able to type and even reach this blog post. Added to this is the fact that tophus can be very damaging to your joints, cartilage or wherever it is growing. Thus, if the tophaceous deposit is ever removed it is quite possible that it has already done immeasurable amounts of damage.

Tophaceous Gout is A Bad Omen

     Tophus is a sign that your body is already crying, weeping and screaming for HEEEEEEEEEEELP! Why? Read on throughout the rest of this article.

     Tophus is made of uric acid. Tophaceous gout the size of a baseball? That is a large chunk of uric acid. But, we both know that the body is able to take care of its own trash. It is very effective in terms of excreting uric acid. This means that something is DEFINITELY wrong. How does it come that a fistful amount of uric acid accumulated if our body is EXTREMELY effective in terms of eliminating uric acid?

     Tophaceous gout is an omen that your body is in an acidotic state. Your body is infested with too much acids. Lactic acid, oxalic acid etc. Name it. Most of them are very bad for you. As too much acids begin to exist, the kidneys will be distracted by too much tasks at hand. It has to allocate its power in order to excrete all those acids, thus leaving less space for uric acid to be excreted. That said, tophaceous gout is a good sign that you are suffering from acidosis. Given the toxicity of modern life and diet, it is no longer unusual for a person to suffer from acidosis.

     Acidosis will be bad for you. Gout is just the beginning of what it can do. An acidotic body is very susceptible to a plethora of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, different types of cancer and many others.

Conclusion


     Chronic tophaceous gout, Harrison Syndrome or whatever you want to call it is a disease that serves as a beacon for your future suffering to come. It is a sign that your body is crying for help, and you better grant that help. For starters, you should eliminate acidosis. This will let your body dissolve the existing uric acid crystal.

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...
