You can eat as much of cherries as you want. Consuming 250 grams of
fresh or canned cherries every day helps to lower uric acid levels and
forestall gout attacks. Cherries, blueberries, and other dark and
red-blue cherries are rich sources of anthocyanidins and other
flavonoids. These natural healing agents reinforce the collagen matrix
of cartilage and tendons. They also prevent the synthesis and release of
histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins, compounds that cause the
intense pain of gout.
If you cannot eat cherries, try taking 125-250 milligrams of quercetin 3
times a day between meals. Quercetin also stops the synthesis and
release of histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins, and has some
actions similar to the drug allopurinol. Bromelain, taken in doses of
125-250 milligrams with quercetin 3 times a day, increases the body’s
absorption of quercetin and may break up uric acid crystal deposits.
There are indications dandelion and stinging nettle may also break up
uric acid deposits, since they help dissolve uric acid kidney stones.
