willie asked:


A friend of mine thinks(believes) that Juniper berries are a natural cure – He drinks Gin because of that. He says the berries combined with the alcohol helps his gout….to me, I see it as an excuse to be an alcoholic!…altho he does have gout, I’ve seen it. He tried to detox at my house and his ankle swelled up to the size of a football…he ended up taking a couple of shots of Gin and the swelling eventually went down over the next 12 hrs…So, I’m asking if anyone knows of a natural way to treat Gout – without the alcohol-?
PS: yes, I did tell him to use Gin as medicinal rather than drinking to the point of passing out.
