Gout Pal Interactive

Hi Fred,

I don't really trust products like Uricinex. They might work, but they seem expensive to me. From what I've seen, the dosages of any active ingredients are so small that I just can't see how they can make a significant reduction in uric acid. Cheaper herbs, like celery seeds, have been shown to lower uric acid.

I think that similar results can be obtained by following a good diet and drinking lots of water. I've got some faith in baking soda as the science looks right, and it's cheap. This is just my personal view, and until I see a properly conducted medical trial I don't think I'll change it.

I've found that with plenty of water before and after, beer doesn't seem to affect my gout too much. I'll continue to research the effects of beer on gout – purely for scientific purposes

I think there was some more stuff about Uricinex on the old gout forum – I'll see if I can find it.

Anybody else used Uricinex or similar? Please tell us all what you found.
