What is the best natural (herbal?) remedy for gout?

  • Answer:

    Gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid in the bloodstream. The best and fastest way to treat it is by dietary change. Big contributor to gout is eating preserved meats (lunchmeat of all kinds and jerky) and eating lots of liver and organ meats. Beer consumption and consumption of certain fishes (anchovies, herring, sardines) also makes it worse. So if you want to feel better fast, first, drink a lot of water as you need to clear the kidneys. 10-12 glasses a day. Switch to eating just chicken and turkey, or if you are able, go vegetarian for awhile. But no matter what, no organ meats, and no preserved meats of any kind. Reduce your consumption of alchohol to zero if you are able, especially beer. Take fish oil caps, about 3000 mg a day. Number one factor is getting the fatty meats out of your diet. And needless to say, eat your veggies. Do this and you will feel better very quickly. I have seen gout appear in one day and disappear in one day, so depending on how well you adjust your diet and get your uric acid level down, you could be feeling better right away.
