Gout is an extremely painful arthritic condition that most commonly attacks your big toe joint. Ninety five percent of the time, gout attacks middle-aged men who eat a lot of meat and drink alcohol. Colchicine and Indocin are the main medications to combat gout, but they are riddled with side effects of upset stomach, hair loss, depression and liver toxicity to name a few.

Decrease consumption of high protein diet of organ meat, anchovies, dried beans, fish and mushrooms. Reduce alcohol and weight. Drink cherry juice and eat a lot of cherries. Take supplements such as fish oil (EPA), vitamin E, folic acid, and celery seed extract.
