NO potatoes

In just one night you will see the difference.

Addition: I have had some luck with cherries, and ginger chopped and made into tea (or ginger caps) but my favorite all time pain reliever for this has been ___BOSWELLIA___ (also known as frankincense – in caps of course) . This I used all winter 2008-2009 to keep pain at bay. Now I am using enzymes (Woebyzyme- [sp?]) to eat up the c-reactive protein that causes pain. Of course, summer is easier on sufferers.

Note: Since I also had trouble sleeping, I used scullcap for a few nights to regain my sleep rhythm. (Although I do not like to mix, scullcap is also useful for pain.

I was also adding cardamom to my coffee.cardamom is respected in France for pain.

It’s up to you to find what suits you best.

Reduce the amount of animal protein you eat. Government guidelines advise eating no more than 5 to 6 ounces of lean meat, poultry or fish a day for nearly everyone — especially people who have gout, because high-protein foods increase the blood level of uric acid. Organ meats (liver, brains, kidney and sweetbreads), anchovies, herring and mackerel are particularly high in purines.
Avoid alcohol. Alcohol can inhibit the excretion of uric acid. If you’re having a gout attack, it’s best to avoid alcohol completely.
Drink plenty of liquids. Fluids help dilute uric acid in your blood and urine, so be sure you get enough water and other fluids every day.

alternative treatments that have been studied include:

Coffee. Studies have found an association between coffee drinking — both regular and decaffeinated — and lower uric acid levels, though no study has proved how or why coffee may have an influence on uric acid in your body. The available evidence isn’t enough to encourage noncoffee drinkers to start, but it may give researchers clues to new ways of treating gout in the future.
Vitamin C. Supplements containing vitamin C may reduce the levels of uric acid in your blood. However, vitamin C hasn’t been studied as a treatment for gout. Don’t assume that if a little vitamin C is good for you, then lots is better. Megadoses of vitamin C may increase your body’s uric acid levels. Talk to your doctor about what a reasonable dose of vitamin C may be. And don’t forget that you can increase your vitamin C intake by eating more fruits and vegetables, especially oranges.
Cherries. Cherries have been associated with lower levels of uric acid in studies, but it isn’t clear if they have any effect on gout signs and symptoms. Adding cherries and other dark-colored fruits, such as blackberries, blueberries, purple grapes and raspberries, to your diet may be a safe way to supplement your gout treatment, but discuss it with your doctor first.
Other complementary and alternative medicine treatments may help you cope until your gout pain subsides or your medications take effect. For instance, relaxation techniques, such as deep-breathing exercises and meditation, may help take your mind off your pain.
