Chronic Gout VS Acute Gout


What is gout? To those who does not suffer it, gout is gout. It is a painful inflammation of the joints. To those who had an unfortunate encounter with the disease, it is something more. Finally, to those who lived to know gout, gout is not just gout. It can be classified, just like a dog is not just a dog but can be a Chihuahua, Doberman or many other breeds.

This article aims to explain the difference between chronic gout vs acute gout.

Gout. What is it?

Without the word “gout”, we will simply have “chronic” and “acute”. Hence, we have to explain gout first.

Gout, as mentioned above, is characterized by a painful inflammation of the joints. It is a kind of arthritis resulting from the crystallization of uric acid deposited to the ball-and-socket joints ( or wherever gout decided to attack). Uric acid is not normally deposited in the synovial joints, that is why not everyone suffers from gout. Uric acid is normally flushed out by the excretory system. However, when there is too much uric acid, the body has to temporarily store uric acid to avoid acidosis. Because of this, uric acid is forced into the interstitial fluids (tissue fluids). If even the interstitial fluids runs out of space, uric acid has to be stored elsewhere, such as the synovial fluids of the synovial (ball-and-socket) joints. At high volumes and cold temperatures, the uric acid crystallizes thus attracting the attention of the neutrophils, our innate immune system’s footsoldiers that are in-charge of the expulsion of foreign bodies such as the uric acid crystal. If the neutrophils fail to do so (and they will surely fail because they can not engulf inorganic materials), they will send chemicals to signal pain and inflammation. Gout attack.

Now that we know about gout, let us move to the comparison of chronic gout vs acute gout.

Acute Gout

Acute gout is simply a gout attack. That’s it. Gout flare. However, it is not a simple as it sounds. It is as painful as the word “acute” suggests. It usually happens at the night. Those who suffer, or the people they love, are awakened by a burning pain or a cringe-worthy scream of agony. This timing is not a coincidence. Gout attacks in the night because of the relatively lower temperatures. Such temperature is a major factor to the build-up of uric acid crystals.

Chronic Gout

Chronic gout, as the name suggests, is gout THAT LASTS A LIFE TIME. It can be caused by the genetic disorder Lesch-Nyhann syndrome which causes abnormal uric acid levels. Chronic gout can also be caused.

Put simply, chronic gout is a condition where a person will suffer from chains of acute gout for his entire life (except when he take the meds), or at least, that is what we grew to believe.

Chronic Gout vs Acute Gout

At the end of the day gout will be gout. Dobermans are still dogs. I do not mean that chronic gout is less painful than acute gout. What I mean is both of these are REVERSIBLE. Yes. You read it right. You can remove the “chronic” and “acute” words, and even gout itself!

Chronic gout does not have to be chronic. However, YOU NEED AN OPEN MIND.

First of all, YOUR MEDS DOES NOT CURE GOUT. Allopurinol, febuxostat and colchicine are all trickeries that fool you into believing you are cured. You can read the individual articles to find out more.

Next, YOU CAN NOT CURE GOUT. I know I sound contradictive. Before introducing chronic gout vs acute gout I said that they can not be cured, then I said it can be cured, and now I claim it can not. Well, the truth is, it can not be, BUT YOU CAN CURE THE ROOTS! Without the roots, gout will vanish like magic.

The question now is, what is the root? The answer is, URIC ACID! Wihout uric acid, there will be no gout. Without gout there will be no pain. NO PAIN! End uric acid and you can end your suffering.
The process of reversing uric acid is a looooong subject, but mark my words: IT IS INTERESTING AND WORTH 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...

Can I Take Colchicine and Ibuprofen Together?

Do you believe that we have survival instincts? Surely, this is one of the controversial psychological and physiological topic that garnered controversy. Nowadays, it is almost explainable by a solid scientific proof. Pain and stress are two of the aspects of our fight-and-flight mechanism that can force us to do something about what is causing them. At times, they come as a powerful combination when pain is the root cause of stress. However, there can be these unfortunate times that no matter how much we desire to remove the pain, we can do nothing. One such instance is during gout attacks. Surely enough, the pain indicates that something is not supposed to be in there, but we are left helpless. We can’t just cut our limbs off to remove the pain. Hence, the idea of taking multiple medications to ease the pain was born (even if those medications were not prescribed at all). This article aims to answer the question “can I take colchicine and ibuprofen together?” ...
