There's no cure, but there's treatments that halt the deterioration of your joints. First you find out type of gout you have. They need to take a sample of the joint fluid to see if its uric acid crystals which means gout; or calcium crystals, which means pseudo- gout. Then generally your doctor refers you to a rhuematologist. They can stop an attack, but you want to stop further bouts so you can minimize the joint destruction. There's a lot of new drugs on the market, but it takes time for them to kick in. I don't know about the diet except it's all the good stuff they want you to forsake. Go to premium beer on the docs orders and it's a tax write-off.

Gout is a form of arthritis. No there is no cure for it but there are treatments and medications that are effective. Check with your doctor. Gout is more prevalent in men and diet does affect it. It can be disabling temporally or permanently. You need to see a doctor and follow their advice.

I actually just read that cherries help gout. In that doctor colum in the newspaper. I have it in my big toe. It really does hurt. I haven't tried the cherries yet. Expensive and my kids would want to eat them all up.
