There is no way to cure gout. But there is a way to control
and almost eliminate the gout.
The pain of gout comes from deposits of needle-like crystals
of uric acid that form in the joints.
These uric acid crystals inflame the surrounding area and
lead to very painful inflammatory arthritis. This inflammation
is what's responsible for the pain, the heat, the redness, the
swelling and the throbbing in the joint. If the inflammation
causes too much swelling, joints can be disfigured
permanently.
There is no need to suffer with the pain of gout.

There are various natural remedies that you can certainly try to help keep the symptoms under control. Here are the better known ones:
Celery seed extract (lower uric acid levels)
Black cherry fruit extract (lower uric acid levels)
Nettle leaf (lower uric acid levels internally; ease inflammation on joints when used externally as a cold tea bag compress)
Bromelain (for pain relief)
Fish oil (omega 3) (for its known anti inflammatory effect - thus reducing pain)
Devil's claw (for pain relief)
Drink lots of water/herbal tea daily to flush the system out. Avoid alcohol which can trigger an attack. Avoid fats (apart from oily fish and olive oil). Limit your intake of red meats. If overweight: undertake an exercise program in consultation with an health care provider.
If on prescription medication talk to your doctor or pharmacist first before taking the herb Devil's claw - some herbs have drug-herb interactions.
Best wishes.

Men who drink two or more sugary soft drinks a day have an 85 percent higher risk of gout than those who drink less than one a month, according to U.S. and Canadian researchers.
Gout has been increasing steadily in the UK in recent years, and the researchers believe it is linked to a rise in soft drink consumption over the same period.
During the 12-year study, 46,000 men aged 40 and over were asked questions about their diet.
The risk of developing gout significantly increased among men who drank five to six servings of sugary soft drinks a week. Fruit juice and fructose-rich fruits such as oranges and apples also increased the risk.
Gout causes painful, swollen joints, usually in your lower limbs, caused when uric acid crystallizes out of your blood into your joints.
Fructose is known to inhibit the excretion of uric acid, which may help to explain the study's findings.
Avoid drinking soda, fruit juice and other sweet beverages. Instead, drink plenty of pure water, as the fluids will help to remove uric acid from your body.
Limit the alcohol you drink (or eliminate it altogether). Alcohol may raise the levels of uric acid in your blood.
Exercise. Being overweight increases your risk of gout, and regular exercise will help you to maintain a healthy weight.
Try tart cherries, or concentrated tart cherry juice. Tart cherries contain two powerful compounds, anthocyanins and bioflavonoids. Both of these compounds slow down the enzymes Cyclo-oxyygenase-1 and -- 2, which helps to relieve and prevent arthritis and gout in your body.
Consider spicing up your dishes with plenty of nutmeg, as this common spice is also useful for gout.

May I suggest giving up meat... (really... try it... it creates the uric acid buildup that is causing your problem)... also... drink dark cherry juice... I get hubby's at the Nature's Market section of our supermarket...
