High uric acid has tremendous negative and destructive effects on the kidney and generates gout. However, low uric acid is also known to be present in multiple sclerosis. Keeping a good balance of uric acid is extremely vital to health.
Uric acid can be controlled...like with many other health issues, an excess of certain foods can be the culprit, and with proper steps can be improved tremendously. Acupuncture offers an excellent non-invasive, safe path to improving gout, uric acid levels, and kidney repair/health.
Your liver produces a waste product known as uric acid, derived from certain foods (especially processed foods), which then is sent to the kidneys...where thereafter it is eliminated from your body. If your body is not getting rid of all the uric acid produced from your liver, gout is a serious result, then kidney damage...etc.
Published in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture has been proven to help normalize uric acid levels, which in turn reduces kidney damage.
Acupuncture testing has been extensive and the results continue to be extremely favorable. Several studies have found that acupuncture treatments decreased serum acid and xanthine oxidase levels, which are indicators of the reduction of renal (kidney) damage.
- Diet is a major contributor to the rise in uric acid. Known violators of this are purines, white sugar, and high fructose corn syrup.
- Limiting red meats and certain fish is highly suggested.
- Diuretics are also known to raise uric acid levels by interfering with renal cleansing.
- Drinking water and coffee are extremely beneficial and a natural diuretic
- Irregular bowel movements - bowel movements clean out excess uric acid.
- Fasting or quick weight loss can temporarily raise a person's uric acid levels as well.
- Increase fiber intake to help maintain the cleaning of your bowels
- Tart Cherries especially are known to help reduce uric acid

It is highly beneficial to set up an Acupuncture consultation. Reports have shown that even ONE acupuncture treatment has helped with the gout and the pain. From that point, depending on the severity of the uric acid levels in your system and previous damage, a treatment plan for health without many of the drugs is very possible.
Other benefits are that acupuncture helps with so many other ailments and imbalances in your body as well while addressing the kidneys and uric acid.
Acupuncture has been a healing modality for centuries, it may be worth a try for your health and future.
