Came across a few articles this morning, all mentioning US Lawmakers and their individual ailments including Gout…
So it seems some members of Congress have Gout, that would be Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), who has it in his feet, and Del. Eni Faleomavaega (D-American Samoa). Its been noted before that Pacific Islanders suffer from Gout more so than any other ethnic group. My friend Richard in Hawaii has been in the hospital for weeks at a time because of Gout parking in many joints in his body at once. Ouch!
Rumor around Capitol Hill is that Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) has Gout. But neither he nor his staff will admit to it. C’mon Mike, come out of the “Gout closet” and support us “Goutaholics”!
We all know potassium is a good for Gout, so eat them bananas! I try to eat at least 3 a day, not only are they my favorite fruit but they have the gout fighting benefits as well. Hey, every little thing helps and the babes like em.

Remember fellow Gout sufferers, keep hydrated to keep the gout at bay! The more your kidneys are flushing out the uric acid the better. So make sure you drink plenty of water or fruit juice (the real kind, not that “Sunny D” crap) whilst avoiding high fructose corn syrup (Gout attacker!). You don’t need to drown yourself, just use common sense and avoid the booze and fake sugars (read your labels folks). I love the natural sodas from Whole Foods, they are real tasty and use cane sugar (natural sugar is ok) plus they cost less than most Coke or Pepsi products.
Very stressful day today, had a cheeseburger (ok, a double quarter pounder w/cheese) at McD’s along with a fries, coke, and 2 apple pies! I know, I know, shame on me… Food is my only comfort outlet since I don’t smoke, drug out, or have a hot busty chick nearby. Hope my Gout doesn’t whirl into a frenzy. I made sure I took 4 of my magic Chinese pills after the fact. I just couldn’t take the stress anymore and “relapsed”, lol
Rich in radium emanation, the hot-spring water (46.5°C/116°F) which surfaces at Bath is thought to have medicinal and therapeutic properties, beneficial in the treatment of gout, rheumatism, and skin diseases. The waters may still be taken in the Pump Room. These waters are applicable to the treatment of gout, rheumatism, strumous diseases, etc. Looks like I need a trip to England!
