Hi Wash Cock ,I am in Tacoma this Week for business and You have a beautiful State .We flew right beside Mt Ranier and although hot ,it has little humidity compared to the Carolinas and no rain .I hope to come back on vacation when I can see much more than a classroom for Sales training .#2 ,I have cut down on my red meat, eliminated Green tea and most items that have corn fructose syrup and have been drinking Tart Cherrry juice and eating about 10 dark cherries daily and more water ,so far so good but I will see a doctor as soon as my new insurance kicks in around Sept .No Gout in my mind these natural things have helped so far plus I lost 3 lbs .I will be walking to WB next month without pain, Go Gamecocks !
