Can you get gout from a sprained ankle?

Gorillafootprints925 @Gorillafootprints925 (3586) • United States 24 Jul 10

I am 19, male, 200lbs, and Im wondering if this occurs or not. I sprained my ankle a month ago and the injured ankle still has some swelling. How long does it take for a sprain to recover fully? I think it might be gout.

cianoy Hi! I don't believe it will cause gout. HOWEVER, if you have gout already, a sprain can trigger an attack.

cianoy Very interesting info indeed. I wonder why it's not highly commercialized yet? You'd think people would all fall in line to get a sweetener that's sweeter than sugar!

Stevia Plant is convertible to sugar and if I am not mistaken, it is 16 times sweeter than than the traditional sugar. Also it is claimed that this plant has medicinal values to diabetics and those with hypertension. What...

cianoy Maybe it'll destroy the sugar industry if stevia becomes commercialized. Same reason hydro powered cars hasn't taken off?

No oregano on my Margherita, please!

RowenaTheWitch @RowenaTheWitch (947) • Italy 19 Dec 07

Inspired by a thread on mistakes in cooking pasta, here is the number one mistake I've noticed in pizzas, expecially if I eat it outside of Italy: The margherita pizza should have tomato, cheese and BASIL. Basil, not oregano!...

5 responses

cianoy No I didn't know that. It doesn't have garlic? I read somewhere that for Italian dishes, the big three spices are garlic, basil and oregano.

cianoy I have a stevia plant at home, but no I haven't tried using it in place of sugar. I will certainly do so in a few weeks. Let me just wait for my little plants to grow up a bit.

cianoy I've heard that oregano is used for cough, but I've never tried it as a juice. If it's hard to drink it, why not add it to pizza instead? ;-) I'm sure that will get a lot more positive reviews.

an oregano plant... is it just ornamental?

macdingolinger @macdingolinger (10386) • United States 17 May 10

I actually saw an oregano plant this weekend. It was like 15 dollars though. I wondered after I left if it was just ornamental? Is that possible? I wouldn't mind buying it if I can actually use it! Do you know of any such thing?

oregano

ornamental

plant

cianoy Hi there! Maybe it was $1.50. Herbs here are sold for about $0.90 so it seems to be the right range. The suggestion of just getting a cutting from someone else that has oregano is also a good idea. Anyone here tried propagating oregano plants?

cianoy Whenever I have a gout attack, I eat about 6-8 bananas per day and I drink more than the normal 8 glasses of alkaline water. High potassium and hydration is the key.
