My OH used to suffer quite badly with gout. He didn’t tolerate medication well, and out of sheer desperation bought a double magnetic bracelet at a festival. Neither of us believed it would work, but it has. Four years on he hasn’t had one flare up. Two friends have also tried them, with good results. The double magnet aspect is (apparently) essential. I believe they are available on Amazon for around £35. He now never takes it off!
