Regarding the symptoms of gout, i would hypothesize that the body may have been in the midst of aggressively cleansing during the dry fast, stirring up uric acid and such and once the fast became less aggressive (by first introducing water and then food) and the level of detox transitioned to a slower and slower pace, some toxic stuff may have got caught temporarily in limbo including in the blood. i want to repeat that this is a hypothesis :).
if you are still struggling with pain from this, i believe there is an excellent chance i can help you with an alternative remedy that is both instant and free.
