Cherry Juice --The Latest Hype? - R

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I have used black cherry juice concentrate as an acute remedy for gout with

several patients with great success. (available at Whole Foods, New Seasons,

etc. and works within 24 hours.)

I guess it would depend on what you are trying to accomplish. Whenever patients

ask me about these types of things on the internet I always ask how this fits

within our naturopathic treatment paradigm. Are we treating symptoms or the

cause?

Perhaps others in the group will be more expansive about the possible mechanism

of action of cherry juice, but until I have a clearer understanding of this, I'm

not substituting this for any of the basic treatment guidelines or incorporating

it in my recommendations for general preventive health. Blessings!
