Garlic

My husband has had gout for about 8 years now, due to being prescribed amedication for Chron’s disease (which he didn’t actually turn out tohave). He has been on Indomethacin for less than a week at a timeduring attacks which works great to clear it quickly. The last thinghis Dr gave him was Celebrex, which did no good whatsoever. He had tohave a shot of a cortosteriod (we think) in his foot twice to combatmajor attacks. This worked, too. He has since discovered that rawgarlic works to prevent and reduce attacks. When he feels the goutcreeping in, he takes one clove a day, chopped extremely fine in a halfcup of plain yogurt. Sometimes he adds sliced cucumber, sometimes mixesit with rice and raw vegetables as a meal. Luckily, we enjoy garlic,and it seems to help quite a bit! We haven’t had any comments aboutbeing “offended” by our breath yet! Hope this is helpful information foryou!
