I swear I started feeling healthier when I started drinking whole milk and eating eggs and sausage again. Stop eating anything with msg and high fructose corn syrup. Note that companies are printing this on packages saying they don’t contain them. They know that stuff is bad for you.

Thanks for that link. Interesting stuff, although some of it conflicts with other things I’ve read.

I’ve only had gout in my left thumb. It became really red & inflamed the first time, & since I didn’t know what was going on I went to the doctor. Advice: cool compresses. Must’ve been an Obamacare doctor. I backed off of Atkins, & since then (when I’m being good about dieting) I try a modified approach combining with an alkaline diet program. Lemon juice & a few other things, but trying to keep the carbs down. The other issue with Atkins is your body draws calcium to deal with acids in protein & that increases chances of osteoporosis. Another good reason for going with alkaline options.
