This page is created to help those with painful feet. So many come into chat looking for relief.
If their entire foot hurts from walking or tight shoes...standing...etc; the first thing I recommend is
slicing a raw potato and putting the moist side on the bottom of each foot...this seems to draw out a lot of pain and many have told me about the instant relief...I will list some other methods know to help.
Soak feet in comfrey and water...1 tsp comfrey tincture to a gallon of water for twenty minutes.
Or boil some leaves and use a cup of that water for adding to your soak.
Massaging feet is so beneficial to the entire body.

When they body has come to the point that gout is present, for sure the liver enzymes are not performing and cell repair is not happening....liver functions are off...Use Milk thistle and yellow dock to help correct liver function.
Heel Pain
The heel pain that is present on first putting weight on
your feet might be due to plantar fasciitis. This pain
usually gets better with movement but returns again when
you sit or lie down for even a few minutes. Take Rhus Tox
30c twice a day for relief and wear only shoes with good
arch support. This condition rarely heals unless you avoid
going barefoot during the healing process.
HEEL SPURS
If you have heel spurs they
recommend vitamin C tablets crushed into a powder or Vitamin C Ascorbate
powder made into a paste with water and applied to heel spurs to help
relieve the pain. Often the pain is from severe tightening of the
tendon. The Vitamin C adds elastin and collagen that allow it to loosen.
The herb Hydrangea will dissolve any excess calcium deposits.
Gout........Pantothenic acid
Poor Circulation?...Take B3
All of this helps make oregano oil a significant factor in treating
internal and external fungi including athletes foot. Skin conditions
such as psoriasis and eczema can be improved with the treatment as well.
Ingram explains the astonishing discovery that "oil of oregano outright
destroys all variety of fungi and yeasts, regardless of where they
reside."
In addition to fighting various fungi, oil of oregano is useful against
bacteria and parasites. As Ingram asserts, "oil of oregano's antiseptic
powers are immense...it inhibits the growth of the majority of bacteria,
something that prescription antibiotics fail to accomplish." In the case
of parasites, oil of oregano has had success neutralizing worms, amoeba
and protozoans.

Your diet is very important. Avoid all red meat, chicken, mushrooms,
alcohol, beans (except green beans), peas, spinach, white sugar and
white flour products. Eat foods that reduce acids such as cherries,
strawberries and black cherry juice.
DEFINITION:
A hereditary metabolic disease that is a form of acute arthritis and is
marked by inflammation of the joints. Joints affected may be at any
location but gout usually begins in the knee or foot.
CAUSES:
Excessive uric acid (hyperuricemia) in the blood and deposits of urates
of sodium in and around the joints. Several different metabolic
abnormalities this condition. Approximately 90% of gout patients are
male. The peak age for onset of symptoms in men is between 40 and 50;
women rarely have gout before menopause. Gout is closely related to the
diet, but may be brought on by stress. Obesity and an improper diet
increase the tendency for gout. Also called the ìdisease of kingsî and
ìrheumatism of the richî because of the rich diets people consume.
SYMPTOMS:
Most cases are without symptoms. When an acute attack occurs it usually
begins at night with moderate pain that increases in intensity to the
point where no body position provides relief.
If you think you might have gout, have your doctor do a test to diagnose
and treat the condition.
TREATMENT:
The condition responds to Colchicine. Medications to prevent uric acid
in the blood and prevent kidney stones from deposits of uric acid in the
kidney. Fluids should be forced at the rate of 3 liters per day. Aspirin
should be avoided.
Bedrest the first 24 hours after onset of acute attack with the affected
joints elevated. Analgesics administered, cold or hot compresses applied
to relieve pain. Maintain a low-purine diet (see recommendations below)
that is well balanced.
NUTRIENTS:
Vitamin B complex, 100 mg. twice daily (avoid high amounts of niacin).
Folic acid, taken as directed on the label, is an important aid in
nucleoprotein metabolism.
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), 500 mg. daily in divided doses, is the
antistress vitamin.
Vitamin C, 3,000-5,000 mg. daily in divided doses, lowers serum uric
acid.
Germanium, 100 mg. twice daily, reduces pain and swelling.
Kelp, 6 tablets per day, contains complete protein and vital minerals to
reduce serum uric acid.
Vitamin E, started with 100 IU per day and increase slowly to 600 IU per
day, neutralizes free radicals and improves circulation.
Zinc, 50-60 mg. per day, is important to protein metabolism and tissue
repair.
Calcium, 1,500 mg. daily.
Magnesium, 750 mg. daily.
Vitamin A, 25,000-50,000 IU daily for a month, then reduce to 15,000 IU,

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Eat only raw fruits and vegetables for two weeks. Juices are best. Also
include grains, seeds, and nuts. Frozen or fresh cherry juice, cherries
and strawberries neutralize uric acid, so eat lots of them. Drink celery
juice diluted with distilled water. Drink only distilled water.
Eat NO meat of any kind. Meat contains extremely high amounts of uric
acid. Avoid gravies and rich foods, such as cakes and pies, leave white
flour and sugar products out of your diet. If you are prone to gout,
limit your intake of dried beans, cauliflower, fish, lentils, oatmeal,
peas, poultry, spinach, and yeast products.
Avoid purine-rich foods including: anchovies, asparagus, consommÈ,
herring, meat gravies and broths, mushrooms, mussels, all organ meats,
sardines, and sweetbreads. Never mix these foods with alcohol if you are
prone to gout! Alcohol increases the production of uric acid and must be
eliminated from the diet.
Avoid restricted weight loss diets. Abruptly, cutting back on foods or a
fast of longer than 3 days may result in increased uric acid levels.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Because of the cellular destruction associated with chemotherapy in
cancer treatment, uric acid is often released in extreme amounts,
resulting in gouty arthritis.
See the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
