LOL. He had been eating really healthy, and went on a "binge", and ate a bunch of ham salad last week, and other such things. Got him back on the low glycemic lifestyle. The uric acid causes inflammation, so he increased his water intake, cherry juice, increased his flax oil, glucosamine and antioxidants. I belong to a alternative health recommendation site by Dr. Strand,(where I can get information on specific ailments and he has healthy recommendations) and I use the brand of vitamins that he talks about, so we already had these things in stock. The vitamins have 2000 mg Vit D, which new studies have been done to praise the anti inflammatory properties, so, I just implemented all that and he got back on a healthier diet, and it got him back on his feet...

Purines are organic compounds, which create uric acid on breakdown in the body. While your body needs uric acid for blood vessel health and other processes, a buildup of excess uric acid can lead to gout, diabetes and even cardiovascular disease. Purines consumed in the diet account for about 50 percent of the uric acid produced in the body. Therefore, avoiding foods high in purines or following a modified purine diet may help improve uric acid levels.
