"I don't have a lot of experience with gout personally. My brother has suffered from it quite a few times as well as some friends. To my understanding, it's a build up of uric acid in the system (been wrong before, I apologize if this is inaccurate.) It has been suggested that my love of beer may be the reason I am not prone to this condition. (There's is already a high uric acid amount in my system, that gout if brought on by a sudden change in levels, rather than the amount of uric acid in a person's system.)

That said, some things that have worked to remedy the condition within a couple days:

- Apple cider vinegar, about 4-5 tablespoons in a cup of water, like 2 times a day. Tastes like hell obviously, but I have seen it end a flare with my own eyes in just a couple days.

- Black cherries. I understand availability may be an issue, but if you have access, eat a good bit of them, about a cup, works better in conjunction with the apple cider thing. Without the cider, it seems that they take a long time, with it, you should see positive results the same day.

*If the apple cider vinegar gives you heartburn, or acid reflux (many prone to gout, are also prone to these) put a couple teaspoons of baking soda in the vinegar water, mix it up, let it settle, and down it like a horrible shot... because it will be horrible, but shouldn't trouble you. Hope this helps."

"I couldn't stand living in Medieval times. Just the thought of having my teeth pulled out without anesthesia gives me the willies, in fact, just the thought of having my teeth pulled out in general gives me the willies."

"My examples were to shoe how much water we have.
We have early 1900s hand dug and sand stone wells about 30ft deep plus some drilled wells 1940-50 that reach about 50ft with hand pumps.
Plus two 1990s 75ft with electric pumps.
Plus about six natural springs that what Im told have never dried up.
A swamp is behind our house with a creek through it. Government made and protected wetlands and water shed.
Multiple ponds on the land with a state lake 4-5 miles away.
So potable water is readily available. Plus more than I can use that I do have the meams to purify.

But my point was unless your in a waterless area and or climbing into a bunker and not coming out for a extended period. Some locals don't need lots of water."

"Actually that's not true, humans and a couple other animals have to consume Vitamin C in their diet, most animals actually produce their own VC in their body so meaning you can get vitamin C from hunting. The only problem is the way you have to get Vitamin C is by eating organs i believe, so since animal organs are not very popular in western cuisine from what i know the best way to get Vitamin C is from things like limes and oranges. But still if you need some Vitamin C and you cant find any orange groves then go hunt a Deer and eat its organs.(:"

"Pine needle tea.

They contain 7x more Vit-C than an equal weight of oranges.

Don't taste good though"
