My mahjong buddy Brother Fat say if I sweat hard every day the uric acid all come out through the sweat, gout finished forever. He take me to the sauna after walking 10 km in the park, says the heat melt the crystal in the joint. He also say doctor medicine allopurinol only trap the acid inside the body, sweating is the real way to flush it out. I follow this three week, stop the allopurinol tablet already. Now the big toe pain actually come back more worse and swell red after the sauna session, Brother Fat say that mean the acid is coming out so must continue. Sweating really can cure gout? Can I stop the medicine and just keep exercise and sauna?
