GOUT
Gout is a disorder of Protein metabolism that leads to abnormally high levels of uric acid in the blood, which produces acute and chronic arthritis. The arthritic attacks are produced by the deposition of uric acid crystals into the joints and over the span of years, the progressive accumulation of these crystals and recurrent inflammation leads to chronic degenerative arthritis. Although any joint can be affected, the great toe (90%), instep, ankle, heel, knee and wrist are most commonly involved. The deposited crystals, called tophi, develop in the soft tissue (ligaments, tendons and bursa) around the joints and can also occur in the kidneys, hands and feet, aorta, heart muscle and heart valves, and possibly in the nervous system or eyes.
The high levels of uric acid in the blood can be due to its overproduction, its reduced urinary excretion, or a combination of both. Most cases of gout are due to excessive uric acid production of unknown cause. Some drugs, dietary levels of purines (a from of protein) and ALCOHOL can be responsible for increase of uric acid levels in the blood.
Foods to be avoided:
- High purine food: Red meat, organ meats, seafood, lentils, beans, peas. Limit to two (2) servings per week maximum.

- Nightshade vegetables: eggplant, pepper, tomatoes, white potatoes, paprika, tobacco (smoking cigarettes).

CATS AND DOGS - "STRESS"
One of the biggest health problems of the twentieth century is stress. Stress is an emotional imbalance. Stress can manifest as anger, frustration or anxiety. These emotions overwork the liver which, when it has been insulated, tends to heat up or stagnate. Stagnation can create tumors. Heat uses up fluids in the body and affects the blood production and circulation. Because the liver stores the blood, the blood stores may become depleted if the liver is overly taxed. (Same for humans and more).

How can an animal become stressed? Simply by living with humans for one thing. Since an animal provides companionship, relaxation, recreation and love, the h
uman's stress level always affects the animal. Dogs and Cats handle their human's stress in different ways:
- Cats are like emotional sponges. Those of you living with cats know that, whenever you are upset, your feline friend will try to curl up in your lap to make you feel better by absorbing your distress.
- Dogs will try to brake up an argument or distract us from our unhappy feelings by asking us to pet them or inviting us to play.

Other forms of stress may arise in multiple animal households where personalities clash, shared litter boxes become dirty, or access to the outdoors to eliminate is denied. Your work schedule may keep your dog inside for long hours, crossing her legs so as not to have an accident in the house. Lack of adequate exercise can frustrate the athletic or hyperactive animal, and sheer boredom can make the sofa cushions start to look very tempting to the normally well-behaved animal.
"Bach Flower-Rescue Remedy for Pets"- one drop for cats and small dogs and 2 drops for large dogs or read instruction. Found in Health food stores.

GARDENING
Invite an earthworm to dinner. Want to attract earthworms? Besides adding grass clippings and dried leaves to your garden, hide fruit and vegetable peels under hay or straw. Many gardening experts say worm eggs stay viable for a long time. So even if your plot is barren from neglect, the eggs will hatch if they have food.
