I have been told that drinking Cherry juice will help. What you need to do is neutralize the uric acid in your body. Nettle tea is supposed to work wonders Here is a website that has some info if you are interested. Hope this helps.

My dad also has gout. when he has attacks we massage his joints with ointments but none of them seem to lessen the pain so he reall has to take medication. I'd say you just have to avoid eating food with too much uric acid so your problem wont get worse. As they say, prevention is better than cure.

I to have gout & take medication for it every day. It is a form of arthritus which i have all over. I have heard that eating cherries does help it. It's not very good company.
