What a challenge! My (nursing) patient with gout (since she was on Lasix
(Frusemide) I considered it to be chronic dehydration) but I bought her 6
litres of cherry juice and on 30mL twice a day within a week her gout had gone,
she denied ever having it - refused to take the cherry juice further, since she
didn't need it, and then said it hadn't worked since the pain came back - I
managed to get her to continue the regime once more but after a repeat of that
rationale I gave up as she asked me not to come again! It is a matter of
persistence and coping with the over 90 mentality!!
Apart from cherry juice I would like to see what impact a litre of pure water
with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice every morning before breakfast might have
on your condition. Allopurinol is not a nice drug.

i have had gout for thirty years...fought it with everything i could
research...but in the end, the only thing that for sure prevents more attacks
is allopurinol.

Subject: CS>Gout flare up
I am in the middle of a gout flare up concentrated in my knee. Could not
walk or even lift my leg. First flare up in 15 years. I made 3 gallons of apple
juice and it was turning hard. I stopped drinking my magnesium/seltzer and
drank apple juice. Two days of this and gout flared. ER prescribed Colcrys
which really helped. I was controlling gout by taking B6 and magnesium. Hard to
believe that a gout flare up was so close. Last flare up was caused by drinking
wine on sale when I was winter camping near Los Angeles. Had to drive towing my
trailer in LA traffic with using only one leg. I think the latest flare up was
not caused by hard cider but neglecting my daily magnesium drink.

If you suspect gout, try to avoid foods with purines, like sardines,
shrimp, smoked oysters, etc. That's what brought mine on.
Be well,
