The lion diet (just beef, water, salt) is for anti-inflammatory purpose. Similarly with fasting - ketones are anti-inflammatory.
Never blame God for anything. Blame it on American Standard Diet, alcohol and medication, damaging your metabolic health for decades.
red meat is high purines and usually triggers gout flareups within the time it takes to digest.
I don't drink alcohol.
I haven't drank more than 1 alcoholic drink in a year in.. 15 years, and last drink I had was.. 3 years ago? Just a shot of lemoncello that my uncle made just to taste it.
and the reason I point to God is all the "coincidences" of multiple medications being taken away due to circumstances within a short period of time, combined with "coincidence" of getting Covid right before a Rheumatologist appointment that made me reschedule about 2 months later.
All that happening at the same time is not something human caused or controlled, but God sovereignly causing, or allowing, these things to happen from non human agents. Think Job.
and yes, Job did also point to God as the source of his calamities and Job similarly did not know what God was doing with it.
It would be a slight on God's own sovereignty to claim that God had nothing to do with this.
as for the second video though, I mainly eat pork and chicken. It's the only 2 things that don't directly cause a flareup,
if I eat a steak, I'm probably going to have a flareup unless I'm totally clear for a few weeks it's the one "cheat" I can do on my diet to have a steak, have some roast beef, something like that,
sugar intake is 1 tablespoon per 12oz glass of cold brew coffee, so two times a day and before I dropped my medication I hadn't actually had a solid gout flare in over a year, I got some "warnings" that were usually connected to something like not getting enough sleep or stress - which is usually psoriasis rather than gout. Psoriasis is always accompanied by rashes or lesions on the skin, gout is almost always the same night as a triggering food gets eaten, but sometimes it might take multiple "doses". For example if I drink orange juice 4 days in a row 1 glass a day, I will get a flare. The same thing if I drink soda (so I cut it out), even diet soda, or use one of those like ensure drinks or something where it's using an artificial sweetener.
average for me is I'll eat bacon or pork sausage and eggs for breakfast 2 glasses of cold brew coffee with about 1oz of 4% milk and 1 tbsp of sugar per glass, Lunch I usually skip or I'll just have a slice or two of ham lunchmeat, no bread or anything like that. Dinner I might have pasta or a potato or rice or corn, so my only real source of carbs, and 95% of the time it's either something with pork or chicken.
Turkey, fish, beans or legumes are almost instantaneous flares, like I'll feel it that very night.
Beef, is a rare thing I have to be careful about it but I can handle it maybe once every 10 days if I'm totally clear.
no deserts, maybe once a week I might have popcorn for a snack so my only other source of carbs just plain popcorn.
When I was on my medication and in a medical cannabis state? I could go years mostly in remission.
But since I left? it's been walking on a razor's edge no beef at all.
and since I got covid? constant psoriasis flare.
