Got Gout? Before going to a doctor, try these:

1.	Ibuprofen for the imflammation that causes the pain.
2.	Keep the join elevated and at rest.
3.	Cherries. Sweet or sour, canned or fresh. 10 or more per day, as needed. (Alternately, 1 tablespoon of cherry concentrate a day)
4.	Soak the joint in warm water and epsom salts.
5.	Charcoal bath. Use an old bucket (it will get stained) and mix 1/2 cup of charcoal powder with water to make a paste. Gradually add enough hot water so your foot is submerged. Soak 30 mins to an hour.
6.	Apply a pack of crushed ice to the joint for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat as needed.
7.	Eat fresh strawberries. They help neutralize uric acid, as do nuts, seeds, and grains, although to a lesser extent.
8.	Apple Cider Vinegar. 2 tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 tablespoons of organic honey (2 times daily).
9.	The juice of French beans has proved beneficial in treating gout. Drink half cup of this juice everyday for about a month.
10.	Tea: three to four cups of one of these tea's a day: yarrow, dandelion, celery seed, or nettle.
11.	Avoid aspirin (aspirin can make gout worse by inhibiting excretion of uric acid)
12.	Avoid high purine foods. (e.g. anchovies, herring, liver, mussels, sardines)
13.	Drink five or more glasses of water a day to flush excess uric acid.
14.	Don't drink alcohol.
