Gout is a very painful rheumatic condition
related to arthritis which has no cure, but has
effective management techniques.  The most
traditional form of treatment is medication
prescribed by a physician.  However, there are
alternative remedies that can be administered
either in place of, or as a complement to, a
doctors care.

Regardless of what method is used, it is always
wise to discuss your intention with your doctor
before making any decisions and to begin
treatment as soon as the condition has been
diagnosed.  Gout can worsen over time and cause
significant buildup of uric acid if left
untreated.  This can lead to kidney disease,
permanent damage to the joints, and more severe
arthritis.

Prevalence of Gout

The prevalence of gout is largely dependent on
gender and culture.  Middle-aged men are nine
times more likely to develop gout than women and
it is more common in those who come from the
South Pacific and Australia.  In addition, if one
is overweight and has high blood pressure, the
chances are even greater.  Women who do develop
gout have typically already gone through
menopause.
