I don't know if you'd call it a cure- it's more preventative means of avoiding future attacks. It's called watching what you eat and avoiding things high in uric acid, and drinking a lot more water. If you search the web for a low uric acid diet, or a listing of foods high in uric acid- you will find those foods you should avoid eating or at least eat a lot less of. It also helps to reduce your weight and exercise, and drink enough water to need to use the bathroom every 3-4 hours. There are drugs that can help with it, but they come with some pretty nasty side effects- like nausea,vomiting and diarrhea- or bone density loss. So it's best to adapt to the diet changes and stick with them.

Uric acid is found in meats, especially pork and organ meats. After eliminating pork from my diet I have very few flare-ups. It might help to try limiting your meat consumption.

Gout is caused by high levels of monosodium urate from undigested proteins, which form uric acid crystals that can settle in your joints and that's when it gets painful. As mentioned by others, what you eat plays a big part, such as meat for example.
Gout starts as rouleau of the red blood cells, and is usually accompanied by chylous, which shows up in your blood as a result of your liver/gallbladder not releasing enough bile for digestion.
Natural raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and berries all contain 'living' enzymes, that your stomach has no problem assimilating, but if food has been processed or cooked beyond about 110 degrees, those enzymes are destroyed. This is the state of nearly all of our food these days unfortunately.
There is an extremely potent alternative method to resolving it, digestive enzyme supplements. This is one of the things in the alternative community that is attracting mainstream attention, I personally know one 89 yr old woman who will swear by them, and she still believes heavily in mainstream medicine. There's alot of products out there high in protease, amylase, lipase, and papain. Just remember, you get what you pay for.
