Remedies for Gout Prevention

Name	Description	Treatment
Allopurinol	Allopurinol (often called allopurinal) is hailed as a wonder drug for preventing gout attacks, but is it safe? Yes it usually is safe, but you still need to be aware of allopurinol side effects.	Uric Acid Inhibitor
Apple Cider Vineger	Apple Cider Vinegar (often called ACV) has been recommended by 2 readers. I'm researching this, and will add a page soon. If you've used ACV, please tell me about your experience.	Anti-inflammatory?
Baking Soda	Treating gout effectively requires an understanding of how and why gout occurs. By increasing alkalinity, uric acid is less likely to crystallize and gout attacks are reduced.	Blood pH
Celery Seeds	Celery seeds should be infused in water - Simmer 1 tablespoon of celery seeds in 2 cups of water until soft. Drink half a cup four times a day.

Drinking lots of water, always a good idea with gout, is particularly important. Celery seeds are also available in capsule form.	Uricosuric
