You need to go to WebMd.com and type in gout and read up on this condition. Symptoms can sometimes be controlled with proper diet. Then, you can type in gouty arthritis and read up on this condition also. Medications are often needed to be taken daily to prevent these flare-ups.

Does what cure gout? Yes, gout is a re-occurrence of acute inflammatory arthritis. Without treatment an acute attack of gout will usually resolve in 5 to 7 days. Ice helps with the pain, as will steroids from your doctor.

i have gout. it's not curable. there are medications to treat it and you can also treat it with cherries. i personally find the cherries to be more affective than the medication and don't have to deal with the side affects. eat twelve cherries several times a day until the symptoms diminish.
avoid the foods that are notorious for causing flare ups such as shellfish, beef etc. it is excruciatingly painful and quite crippling, especially if it attacks more than one joint.

you can use fresh, frozen or canned cherries or you can buy cherry concentrate at the health food store. i feel the fresh cherries work best.

it is supposedly a problem with purine (an amino acid) metabolism, however, i have seen people with this get better from upper cervical specific chiropractic care. see an hio method chiropractor.

Gout is typically caused by a build up of uric acid, which results in inflammation around the joints, causing arthritis. However, there are also deficiencies, such as those related to calcium, that can cause similar symptoms to gout.

Since gout can be caused by dietary problems, setting up a safe and effective diet is one of the most effective treatments. This includes not just eating healthy safe foods, but also avoiding alcohol. Sometimes, anti-inflammatory drugs are also taken.
