Tinospora has been used for the treatment of gout patients for many years in Northern Thailand. Thousands of gout patients have been relieved of the dreadful pain of acute gout attacks.
Tinospora combats obesity by reducing the build-up of oxidized fats and lowering the levels of uric acid and "bad" cholesterol (low-density LDL cholesterol) while protecting "good" cholesterol in the blood. As a natural consequence many users have happily reported that their gout affliction is improved dramatically.
Tinospora will also help recover and improve kidney function and revitalize the discharge of uric acid. Furthermore, it improves liver function and regains the fat metabolism efficiency of your 20s! It is a truly revolutionary herbal medicine that offers a comprehensive approach to improve gout.
Guduchi (scientific name: Tinospora cordifolia) is known as a plant encouraging perpetual youth and longevity that is found throughout Southeast Asia. It is used in many ways such as alleviating fever, detoxification, and improving overall bodily well-being. It is known as "the herbal treatment that can soothe the 'fever' of the blood."
Tinospora has been recognized as "a suppressor of platelet aggregation" since early days. It acts against "sticky blood" and helps facilitate a smooth blood circulation. Tinospora has been welcomed by those suffering from a ruddy face, dusky reddish complexion, facial flushes, high blood pressure, and heart conditions associated with high blood pressure.
The blood condition in which the blood is congested and does not flow smoothly is called "oketsu" in the world of herbal medicine. "Oketsu" is considered to "cause all kinds of diseases." Therefore, the most important element in preventing many diseases and protecting good health is improving such "oketsu" condition. The beneficial effect of Tinospora begins by improving blood circulation, which leads to gout prevention/improvement, diabetes treatment, and improvement of various lifestyle-related diseases.
Many patients with hyperuricemia have a weight problem. It is considered that the excess intake of energy that induces obesity is somehow related to the metabolism of uric acid.
The level of uric acid can increase depending on diet, however, a strict control of purine intake is technically difficult and cannot continue for a long time. Most doctors today do not give dietary advice such as "you should not eat this and that" anymore.
It is more important to control the total amount of food intake. Sixty percent of gout patients are obese and the rest have a potential obesity problem. Among those that are obese, the higher the level of obesity, the higher the level of uric acid. Obesity is the most common and hazardous complication found with gout patients.
Obesity also causes a decline in kidney function. The kidneys discharge uric acids through urination and any deterioration of kidney function disturbs the normal daily discharge of uric acids (source: Foundation for Tufu (Gout) Research Institute).
Drinking alcohol causes a temporary increase in the level of uric acid.
This is mainly for the following reasons: uric acid is produced when alcohol is metabolized inside the body; lactic acid is produced when alcohol is metabolized and this induces a build up uric acid; and some alcohol beverages contain high levels of purines that stimulate the body to produce more uric acid. Since the level of uric acid increases when alcohol is metabolized, any kind of alcohol is bad for the uric acid level and consequently gout. However, the level of purines that cause an increase in uric acid vary between alcohols. Beer contains the highest levels of purines and distilled alcohol beverages such as whisky, brandy, and spirits do not contain so many purines (source: Foundation for Tufu (Gout) Research Institute).
Other factors such as stress, behavioral patterns, other diseases, and drugs may cause gout.
Rats that were given high cholesterol foods showed an increase in the level of total serum cholesterol, free cholesterol, cholesterol ester, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and a decline in the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. They also developed high cholesteremia.
Rats that were given Tinospora (Guduchi) extract, on the other hand, showed a significant decline in the level of total serum cholesterol from day 10. From day 20 a significant decline in the level of total cholesterol and free cholesterol was observed. From day 30 the level of total serum cholesterol, cholesterol ester, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol declined in all administered groups. The level of arteriosclerosis index also significantly declined in all administered groups. Nonetheless, the necessary level of good cholesterol was maintained.
Since the level of cholesterol in the liver, which is the major organ producing cholesterol, was stable and so was the level of cholesterol in feces, it is considered that the decline in the level of cholesterol in blood was induced by a conversion in another channel. The main interior channels for eliminating cholesterol are as follows:
The major use of cholesterol is for the synthesis of bile acids. Bile acids work as surfactants to help digest and absorb cholesterol and other lipids taken from food we eat. Bile acids also block the biosynthesis of cholesterol from acetic acid and especially block the process of the biosynthesis of mevalonic acids.
Among the rat groups that were given Tinospora (Guduchi) extract the level of bile acids in the bile duct was significantly increased. Therefore, it is considered that Tinospora (Guduchi) helped convert cholesterol into bile acid and improved high cholesteremia.
u This paper shows that Tinospora helps bad cholesterol to be synthesized into good cholesterol and bile acid that improves the digestion and absorption of fats. These cycles drastically improve the fat metabolism function in the liver and help develop a body constitution that has a lower tendency towards obesity.
Thus it is not too much to say that developing a body constitution that has a lower tendency towards obesity is equal to developing a body constitution that has a lower tendency towards gout. By developing a body that has a lower tendency towards obesity the liver and kidney functions improve dramatically and the level of uric acid is controlled naturally. By improving the fundamental function internal organ systems not only gout but also all kinds of lifestyle-related diseases may be cured.
