If you've suffered from a gout attack before then you'll know that the medical profession invariably prescribes drug-based medications to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. They can also prescribe uric acid reducing drugs.
And, if you were like me you suffered some horrible side effects, including diarrhea and stomach cramps. It wouldn't be so bad if these drugs actually cure gout, but they don't. They only address the symptoms, and only while you take them.

The outcome is that, once you come off the drugs, there isn't anything to prevent other gout attacks. This is because they don't address the underlying causes of gout. These are things like your weight, medical conditions, drugs you may be taking, poor / unhealthy diet, lifestyle issues, stress, family history, alcohol, etc.
So this is where treating gout without medication can be very beneficial...
Using natural gout remedies is safer, cheaper and can be much more effective than using drug-based medications, because you take a more holistic approach to your treatment. Treating gout without medication can not only eliminate gout symptoms, it can also prevent recurring gout attacks, because you get right to the heart of the problem.
What you may not be aware of is that, once having had just one gout attack, you are now extremely likely to have more, unless you do something about the root cause(s). And the problem with frequent attacks is that, apart from the agonizing pain, they can leave you with permanent joint damage, kidney problems and hypertension in the future.
So treating gout naturally is an effective way forward: As an example, you can reduce inflammation and help relieve pain by eating 30 - 40 cherries every 4 hours during an attack. They have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. And continue eating them after the attack -- say 30 or 40 per day -- to lower uric acid levels and help prevent gout crystal formation in your joints.
To help prevent other attacks, one of the best things you can do is to change to a low-purine diet. Purines are chemical compounds that exist in our bodies and foods, and which produce uric acid. So more purines means more uric acid. This means avoiding red meat, poultry, seafood, broth, gravy, dried legumes, yeast extracts, etc.
The above are just a couple of ways of treating gout without medication. But to be truly successful you need to get to know all the other remedies and lifestyle adjustments you need to make. And by taking this natural holistic approach to your condition you stand a very much better chance of preventing recurring gout from causing some serious damage to your health...
