My boyfriend is suffering with a painful foot, he can’t get the pain under control enough to be able to switch to the preventative medication. We heard cherry juice is good, but the pharmacist said there was no proof it helps.
Has anyone found something that really helps? What is your experience?
My husband suffers from gout attacks. He has noticed attacks come on when he is either beginning a diet or going off a diet. He does drink black cherry juice during an attack. He usually takes colchicine – a prescription from a doctor – for the most relief. Drink lots of water to help flush the excess uric acid from system. And believe it or not, a home remedy website listed apple cider vinegar to drink did help him when he was having a particularly bad attack. Here’s a link to one such site:

cherries are the best thing. There is actually a lot of research that shows this. Good luck

Cherry Fruit extract specifically is the best thing. You don’t want to get cherry juice that has sugar and junk added to it, so go to a health food store and ask for it there, or get the capsules made by Enzymatic Therapy….

Supplement companies cannot say "its good for gout" but you’ll see statements that say it supports normal uric acid levels (high uric acid levels cause gout) which is the legal way they can make the connection.
Good luck! PS – pharmacists and doctors don’t study herbs and nutrients so don’t expect them to know. Herbs and supplements don’t have million-dollar studies but hundreds of years of human use can sometimes tell us more than a targeted study in a lab can!

cut back on your meat consumption, and eat lots of nuts and berries until the gout goes away

Diet can help. He should avoid foods rich in purines. There is no evidence that cherry juice will help, but no evidence to say it will hurt.
