Toby Gout has regrets.....
Caution! If you have found this site just after your first attack, or one that is similar, and you suspect it’s gout, start dealing with it now. When the attack goes away,you might be tempted to do nothing. This, unfortunately, is wishful thinking. See a doctor and find out if it really is gout. If it is, it is true that the sooner you start with gout treatment and deal with the problem, the better your chances of getting a faster recovery. Your motto is: “Action, this day.”
Take Note! Nothing on this website is intended to replace the advice of your doctor or other health care professional in treating gout. Other warnings are sprinkled around the text in relevant places to caution you against trying these remedies without consulting your doctor. And this includes diet.
There are scores of reasons for this advice. One of the most important is that your doctor must know that you are otherwise healthy before s/he can make any judgements about treatment.
