Because of gravity.

Water retention in the ankles works on the same principal.

It all goes South.

Do you know one of the major reasons why it was India that invented yoga?, joint relief, all self-inflicted purely based on what they were consuming.

Now of course India won't be producing any top athletes in big numbers, there messing up there bodies. Train as much as you want, doesn't make a blind bit of difference when your feeding the body gout.

And staying on the subject of joint health.

Do you know what is arguably the most destructive substance in existence for joints?, sugar.

What are many energy drinks/bars/gels LOADED with. Those hundreds of products being advertised in running magazines.

It's just absolutely incredible.


Great time to be in podiatry.

Ok Sicknote, according to your gravity theory, water retention to the ankles assuming veins are all thopped off, care explaining why this uric acid settles in the big toe joint predominently??

a...nd the oscar goes to........

Dave, lets not turn this into rocket science.

Poor dietary choices can have an arthritic effect on the body. I've proven it myself from coming off numerous detox's. One example was consuming cows milk which made my knees hurt.

It all goes downstairs.

What goes into the body can largely determine the health of your body.

Feast your eyes on these quotes.







Do you know the real reason why Governments advertise this all over the world?.

Sicknote,
i dont know what you mean by "lets not turn this in to rocket science"? Principle of a rocket launch is based on Newtons III law, Every action has an equal and opposit reaction. isn't this the point you are making, when you say "What goes into the body can largely determine the health of your body".

The quotes you mentioned Sicknote, dont mean anything. because they are jus quotes. Show me a study to substantiate your view, otherwise its all
lets not bother with quotes from a so called would be published study.

anyway, the topic of this thread was what are the possible reasons for Gout affecting the first MTP joint predominently?

Some answers:
Reduced Blood flow
reduced temperature
increased stress/strain (biomechanical)

Sicknote, Milk actually reduces serum uric acid levels in patients with gout. See the study below.

I seem to remember a chemistry lesson where we had to cause crystals to form in a super saturated solution, this was acheived by either cooling the solution or traumatising it by stirring or knocking the beaker. It's easy to see why the extremities are the commonest sites for gout.

On the subject of nutrition where did I recently discover that dairy was good for preventing gout, was it Pod Arena or Medscape?

Have asked every gout pt since and so far they all have a low dairy intake.
