I read up on some natural cures, and they mentioned the cherry therapy. Heck, go ahead and try it...but also drink plenty of water to help rid your body of the uric acid. Some of the research I found is below:
The cherry method man
--------------------------------------------
The MGH study didn't examine the effects of weight gain or loss on subjects already diagnosed with gout, so the results won't have an impact on Terry's case. But given the fact that there's no downside to avoiding obesity, it's safe to say that Terry can only help his cause if he stays fit by continuing with the pickup basketball games.
In the e-Alert "Bowl of Cherries" (1/28/04), I told you about a colleague of mine here at HSI named Ramsey who has coped with gout for several years. When Ramsey was first diagnosed he did some research and came across what was described as an old wives tale: Cherries relieve gout. The source he found said to eat two pounds of cherries at the onset of an attack. That's a lot of cherries, but when he tried it, the duration of his gout attacks was cut in half.
Ramsey also found helpful advice from a book, titled "Getting Rid of Gout: A Guide to Management and Prevention" by Bryan Emerson (Oxford University Press, 1996), which has information about foods that can trigger gout attacks (such as fish, broccoli, asparagus, coffee and orange juice), and tips for lessening the effects of an attack (such as drinking cherry juice, in addition to eating cherries). Drinking lots of water also helps flush uric acid from the system.

my mother had gout. Her doctor told her to eat three cherries a day......any type of cherries. They have a natural " acid" or something that reacts just like anti-gout medicine. Momma did this and never suffered from gout again.
