I suffered from gout for 14 years and didn’t know what to do anymore. I was overweight (233 pounds) and my uric acid was 10.5. I was taking pills every day to diminsh my pain and my uric acid. As per my doctor, I had stopped eating meat, fatty foods and alcohol. I was also taking different supplements, which I had been told would keep my gout symptoms under control.
However, none of this was working. I was still experiencing pain in my knee and in my big toe. I was having a hard time walking and going up the stairs. Then in the summer of 2018 I had three painful gout attacks within just two months. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t walk. All I wanted was for that burning pain to go away. That’s when I decided to call my son in New York and ask for his help.
He worked with me to lower my inflammation, he taught me how to heal my pancreas, and ultimately how to lower my uric acid. After about 5 days of treatment, I felt the pain and stiffness in my joints diminish. 2 weeks later my pain was mostly gone and I was feeling better, so I decided to throw away all the gout pills. Then 3 months later, my pain completely went away. It was like the gout had disappeared.
My family doctor was astounded when he saw me for my regular check up. He told me that I had no more signs of gout. And on top of that he told me that my diabetes and high blood pressure had improved as well. I know he was impressed, because he has since referred many of his gout patients to my son’s program.
Today I am 70 years old, my uric acid is 5.5, and I weigh 172 pounds. I am not on any gout medications or supplements, I can walk and do my activities without any pain, and I feel much lighter and much more energetic than even a decade ago.
What I liked about Octavian’s program is how fast it got me rid of my joint pains. And I also liked that I didn’t have to give up meat or seafood in order to heal.
My advice to those who want to heal their gout is to let go of myths and misconceptions, and to accept that gout is reversible. Both I and many other patients in Octavian’s practice are living proof of that.
