Do you have Gout?

Gout is an acute form of arthritis. A disturbance of metabolism where there is an increased amount of uric acid, resulting in deposits of uric acid crystals around joints, especially fingers and toes.

A systemic review found that serenoa repens was well tolerated, providing mild to moderate improvement in urinary symptoms and flow measures. These improvements were comparable to those seen in men taking a prescription drug, finasteride, for BPH.

It is a knotted, tangled, almost broken thread of a system that cared well for Irish society until its displacement and dislodgement in the political turmoil of our history.
