Red wine, seafood and red meat tend to bring on flare ups of your gout. Some can go a while without their meds for the gout but don't think its ever really "cured". Its like a type of arthritis, but watch your diet and you can cut back on the meds if you are very careful with that.

Hi Sacred Sparks
Here are some ideas to use to heal the issue.
Causes of Gout
Gout is caused by excessive accumulation of uric acid in the tissues. The underlying cause of uric acid accumulation is unknown, yet research has found that it can basically be attributed to metabolic or kidney problems. Increased production of uric acid may be the result of metabolic enzyme defects, certain types of chronic anemia, or other complex conditions. Dehydration and kidney disease can cause poor clearance of uric acid from the body.
Proper diet, nutrition, and metabolic balance all play crucial roles in the prevention and treatment of this disease. The conception of gout as a condition of affluence is tenuous, but a heavy diet, particularly organ meats that increase amount of uric acid, and alcohol consumption, can hinder the removal of uric acid by the kidneys.
Although most people initiate a gout attack through poor lifestyle choices (obesity, rich foods, alcohol), 10%-15% of gout patients have attacks due to a metabolic problem, such as a deficiency of enzymes (xanthine oxidase) and purine imbalances. Purines come from certain foods (meat products, especially liver and other organ meats, sausages and other processed meats, anchovies, crab, shrimp, milk, eggs, and many beans, including soy), but are also normally present, in the form of DNA and RNA in the cells. Purines are broken down into uric acid, which is then normally excreted through the urine.
Medications, including aspirin and diuretics, can cause gout by putting extra stress on the kidneys; these drugs cause 25% of new gout cases. Kidney stones and other kidney problems are present in 90% of gout sufferers, because urate crystals also accumulate in the kidneys.
Quick Action Plan for Gout
1. The goal of diet for those with gout is to reduce the production of uric acid to normal levels. Cherries, and all rich colored berries, such as blueberries, are recommended. Consume half a pound of fresh or unsweetened frozen cherries per day for a period of three to six weeks as a healing protocol.
2. Organic cherry juice is especially good for gout, as are many of the new "magic juices" such as Goji, Acai and Noni juice, puree or powder. Pomegranate fruit extracts have been shown to be effective as well.
3. Eliminate alcohol consumption, which both increases uric acid production and reduces uric acid excretion in the kidneys. Gout sufferers should also maintain a low-purine diet, which completely omits organ meats, shellfish, yeast (brewer's and baker's), herring, sardines, mackerel, and anchovies.
4. Intake of dried legumes, spinach, asparagus, fish, poultry, and mushrooms, should also be curtailed. Refined carbohydrates and saturated fats are best kept to a minimum.
5. Drink plenty of pure water, because it keeps urine diluted and promotes the excretion of uric acid.
6. Test for food and environmental allergies and avoid all foods and substances to which you are allergic.
7. Cleansing and Detoxification, including colon and bowel cleansing therapies, fasting, kidney and gallbladder flushes, physical medicine, and homeopathic remedies.
8. In clinical trials with gout patients, devil's claw was found to relieve joint pain, as well as reduce blood cholesterol and uric acid levels. For gout sufferers, professionals can recommend: 1-2 g of dried powdered devil's claw root three times a day; 4-5 ml of (1:5) tincture three times a day; or 400 mg of dry solid extract (3:1) three times a day.
9. The following nutritional supplements are recommended: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 1.8 g daily), vitamin E (400-800 IU daily), folic acid (under a doctor's supervision, 10-40 mg daily), and quercetin with bromelain (125-250 mg three times a day between meals).
Herbal Aids
The eliminative organs must be improved. Drink apple cider vinegar with honey and bathe the area in hot apple cider vinegar. To speed healing, take MCP pectin (one teaspoonful three times a day). Herbal teas work well to relieve pain. Tincture of lobelia with apple cider vinegar baths on the afflicted parts is very good. A good herb combination is equal parts of skullcap, valerian, and yarrow taken in tea form to assist in freeing the toxic waste from the tissues and to eliminate the waste through the various excretory organs.
Best of health to you

All disease can be cured or your body can be taught to respond to the healing process when you use herbs and plants. If you believe in the Bible there are at least sixty-seven instances where they tell you that the plants will keep you healthy and strong and avoid all sickness. Check out all of your real, yet different herbal sources until you find one that isn't just hype and actually works or has products and formulae that actually work. I would tell you of a site here but I don't want to be labelled as some one selling something. I have used products from this site for years and haven't been ill in over ten years.

If you or someone you love has gout pain (also called gouty arthritis), your first reaction is to go to your family doctor who will give you a prescription drug to take for the rest of your life. Sadly, most of these drugs have potential for many negative side-effects including loss of bone density, weakened immune system, migraines, heart arrhythmia and more.
Gout is a result of too much uric acid in your blood. Uric acid buildup usually is a sign that your kidneys aren't cleaning our your blood as well they should. Over time, this excess uric acid forms crystals between your joint spaces causing excruciating pain.
There are many foods that promote uric acid buildup and should be avoided. The most common are: alcohol, anchovies, peas, poultry, dark greens vegetables, dried fruits, fish, mushrooms, herring, meat gravies, broth, bouillon, mussels, sardines, red meats, processed meats, fried foods, caffeine, beans, lentils, eggs, oatmeal, and low doses of aspirin.
You are not alone . . . over 2,000,000 Americans have gout and suffer needlessly and globally the statistics are staggering! Left unchecked, it can cause many potential health problems, including heart disease, disability, kidney damage and permanent joint damage!
