Probably the very best medicine for gout is a healthy diet, most first time gout attacks occur after an enjoyable time spent wining and dining, or too much beer drinking, or eating too much generally.
Apparently the frequency of gout is increasing in the US, and now almost 3 million people have gout, exactly why this is so is not particularly hard to work out . Gout has a definite connection to a faulty diet, sure, some people can blame their gout on their genes, however, inheriting a predisposition to gout does not necessarily mean that gout is inevitable for you.
Change your diet from a high protein intake to a low protein intake, say no 2 all saturated fat, all processed food, beer, sodas, both diet and otherwise, leave off the seafood, anchovies, and sardines, then begin a diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, and your gout will leave you alone.
Urtica urens more commonly known as nettle is a great remedy for gout, it has been reported that gouty patients treated with nettle pass large quantities of gravel, for it facilitates the passage of uric acid from the system. The urtica was usually taken in tincture form, 5 drops in a small glass of warm water.
