Allopurinol cause side effects. Cherry, Nettel, Dandelion Root are the best for gout. I have been taking celery tablets, I had Uric Acid Level-11.09-mg/dL . After taking Celery Seed Extract Tablets fof 3 months, My Serum Uric Acid Level came down to 4-mg/dL.

I am trying to help a female Filipino friend, who is based in Madrid, Spain, find a doctor who can treat her insomnia.

She will be vacationing in Manila this April and while googling about insomnia physicians, I came across your site.

Any information you can provide me will be much appreciated and will be forwarded to Mryna (my friend).

I am writing you from the U.S. and I am also a Filipino.

Thanks a lot!
Lita

I was diagnosed for hyperthyroidism last year in August. I was regularly visiting my doctor. I have undergone my test and from my first THS result of 0.03 to now 6.353. My question is if I really need to undergo a surgery as I was advised to do asap. Is there any other option other than surgery. Thanks in advance.

I was diagnosed with hyperuricemia due to kidney stones found in my left kidney around 2 yrs ago. The stones were cured then. I’m in Japan right now and it is very difficult to find an english-speaking doctor and monitor my uric acid level. I had a CT scan and a very small stone is once again found in the same kidney. After a month I had a follow-up check up but this time through an ultrasound machine only and the doctor could not find any stone in my kidney. I’m drinking plenty of water everyday and continuously drink allopurinol. Is it safe to assume that since the stone was not seen in the ultrasound machine it could be that the stone was flushed out or did not increase in size?

I would also like to know if there is already a device similar to gluco meter which can somehow accurately measure the uric acid level in my blood?

I am also confused with the foods to avoid found in the internet. Do cocoa and tea really have very high purine content? Since you already mentioned in one of your replies that having hyperuricemia is a metabolic problem, which part of the body processes purines?

Is hyperuricemia irreversible? I’ve been taking generic allopurinol meds for around 2 yrs already from 300mg now I’m just taking 100mg but since I’m in Japan I’m not sure of my uric acid level. The least that I can do is to be careful with my diet but it seems that majority of the usual foods we eat have high purine content. I drink parsely juice every night because they say parsely is good for the kidney and also an alkaline substance.

I’m sorry I had too many questions. Please advise. Thank you so much and more power.

Check your parenst if any are diabetics or hypertensives…almost always they have also high cholesterol. YOur eating steak compounds the problem but am sure you dont eat steak everyday. Ask your doctors to assess your risk and medication maybe needed to help you lower your cholesterol. Kepp up the good work on exercise!
