My husband suffers from gout in his foot and it seems like the medicine prescribed has made it worse, and taking tylenols can damage the liver which is where the problem stems from, so if there are any other sufferers that can lend advice I would appretiate it, Thanks in advance.

You failed to specify whether or not you have congestion along with the swelling and pain. If so, here's what I consider to be a true miracle homeopathic remedy: Get either some Wasabe horseradish powder [available at any Asian food market], or a tube of prepared Wasabe horseradish [available at most major supermarkets] - the Wasabe powder is much cheaper. Take a teaspoonful of the powder, and mix it with just enough cold water to form a paste approximately the consistency of toothpaste. Next, take a portion of the paste about the size of a large pea and smash it against the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Within ten seconds your sinuses will be completely clear, watering like crazy, and your headache will begin to dissipate. This remedy has two major advantages: The first is that you can use it as many times a day as you wish. Since it is a foodstuff rather than a "medication", you aren't restricted to taking it only every four to six hours as is the case with most OTC or prescription medications. The second is that while the horseradish is "hot" and will make you pop a sweat while it clears your sinuses, it is fast acting and of short duration. The "heat" rolls over you in a wave, and then fades immediately. It doesn't make your mouth burn for hours after taking. But boy, does it EVER clear out your sinuses!

Gout is a condition where uric acid crystals build up in the body.
This can happen in the area of the big toe and cause a lot of pain.
Our foods contain purines; some foods are higher in this than others.
The doctor may place you on a lower purine diet (of which they will usually provide you a list of foods to avoid. There is also medications that can lower the uric acid in the blood
Here an alternative way to cure gout?

I'll second what Cheryl E. said about cherries--medical columnist Dr. Peter Gott frequently mentions cherries as a way to treat gout.
I don't know if it would work for gout, but I take an herb called Arnica for fibromyalgia pain. I also take 800 mg. of Aleve and a 1000-mg. flaxseed oil capsule every night at bedtime for pain management. Maybe Aleve could at least help with your husband's pain.

Try Aleve. Elevate the extremity. Check with your doctor. There are different medications on the market for gout. My husband suffers from it as well. The doctor told him it can stem from too much salt in the diet as well as diets high in purines. I wish you the best of luck in finding a solution.

Homeopathic treatments treat the whole person not the condition, so every treatment will be different. Depending on who they are. There is no regular treatment that cures all.
