"Gout" (Painful swelling ankles) by Lee At the age of 46 years, I have discovered the condition of Gout.(Painful swelling of ankles & toes) I learned the benefits of Artichoke, from a fellow on the internet, who was selling gout pills. After the passing of three years, I still live with a mild condition of gout, ( sodium in the joints). I still limit my salt to no less than 500mg sodium per day, the normal daily requirements = 2000mg of sodium, easily found on any canned food.

Even though "Heaven" is our ultimate goal, Our Lord won't mind if we live a healthy life, to a ripe old age, before we meet Him there.
