Doctor’s Painful Gout Gone in Weeks! | Dr. Richard Schmidt

A doctor was able to stop crippling gout that haunted him for years within a matter of weeks. The painful flare-ups vanished quickly and never returned.

 

What changed for Dr. Richard Schmidt? He began focusing on different protein sources than he was used to. While he never ate heavily processed junk food, his diet did feature what he considered to be healthy sources of protein such as fish and lean meats.

 

He decided to eliminate them after discovering research showing their ties to inflammatory gout attacks. He now focuses exclusively on plant-based protein sources and has never looked back.

 

It is a remarkable turnaround for someone who once needed a wheelchair because the gout flare-ups had become so extreme.

 

Dr. Schmidt is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist based in Mountain View, Calif. He also serves on the President’s Council of the Physicians Committee.
