You can get rid of gout pain by using either prescription drugs or home remedies, or, a combination of both. But although figuring out how to get rid of gout pain is important, so is preventing recurring gout, which can lead to permanently damaged joints and kidney damage.

When diagnosed as being gout, doctors usually prescribe things like colchicines, corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help get rid of the symptoms and pain of gout. There's also a good chance that they'll prescribe drugs like allopurinol to reduce elevated uric acid levels. And this approach works very well for many people.

But, the important thing to remember is that there isn't a cure for gout. In other words, there isn't a drug that you can take that will prevent you having more gout attacks. And, once having had a gout attack, you're very likely to have more. This is a big problem because, apart from the pain and the affect on your everyday life, recurring gout attacks can lead to you having permanently damaged joints and even kidney damage.

So, although it's important to get rid of gout pain fast, it's equally (if not more) important for you to prevent further attacks happening.

Let's get back to the drug route: Because there is no cure, and the drugs only work for as long as you take them, you will need to take the symptom and pain relief drugs every time you have an attack. Furthermore, you'll need to keep taking the uric acid reduction drug everyday, for as long as you need to, in order to keep your acid levels down and prevent gout attacks. Some people take them for years.

And, being drugs, they can have some very nasty side effects like; headaches, skin allergies, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, bleeding and stomach ulcers.

Because of these issues with drugs, many more gout sufferers have been turning to home remedies to get rid of gout pain and eliminate their symptoms. But not only that, these natural remedies can also reduce your uric acid levels and, especially in conjunction with things like dietary and lifestyle changes, help keep them there. So natural remedies for gout can both get rid of gout pain and gout symptoms, and, help prevent further gout attacks.

Here are 3 natural steps to help you get rid of gout pain:-

(1) - Drink 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 8 oz of water, 6 - 8 times a day, until symptoms have gone. This to help dissolve painful uric acid crystals and help flush uric acid from your system. Change to a salt-free diet during this time as baking soda is high in sodium.

(2) - Consume 20 - 40 cherries on a daily basis for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

(3) - Take bilberries which are filled with anthocyanosides which have natural anti-inflammatory properties.

These are just 3 of very many natural home remedies to help you get rid of gout pain symptoms. You need to experiment to discover which one, or combination, works best for you.

But, in order to address the bigger picture of preventing your gout from returning, you should combine the benefits of those home remedies you choose with other essentials such as diet and lifestyle changes. Diet is especially important: Gout sufferers should avoid foods that are high in purines, which are the compounds that produce uric acid in the first place...

You're in luck though. There's a special gout report available online [see below] that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.

And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.
