Compilation of various and often contradictory facts by Yakov Fain (New Jersey, USA)  2 Stars
August 22, 2009
Since it never stated that the author is an MD, I assume he's not. The author went through lots of different studies and this book is a compilation of quotes. These quotes often contradict to each other and you find lots of "This study suggests so and so.....on the other hand that study suggests so and so".
In one section the author suggests that you should avoid eating red meat and never drink beer. But then, Appendix A lists lots of various products along with their Uric acid per 100Mg. For example, beer has 13mg, beef steak raw 106, halibut 125, barley oat 94...How does it go along with eat fish, whole grain cereals, never beer, no red meat? No explanations.
It seems that the author is just an enthusiast who's trying to research the subject without having the proper background.

Good Information by R. Romero (Los Angeles, USA)  4 Stars
June 23, 2009
I've been suffering from gout for about two years and I'm frustrated that most of the information you find online conflicts each other. Doctor's don't give you much information and I was misdiagnosed several times. I can't take the common drug Allopurinol so I decided the buy the book to gain more information.
The book is a compilation of information gathered from different resources. It's thorough regarding the different treatments and drugs available. What I found most valuable was the food list that listed many foods and their purine contents.
***Update - I commented on how the food lists were valuable. One thing I wanted to point out is that there is little information on diet. As an example, the book explains that beer can raise your uric acid and that it is off limits. When you look at the food list it states that beer has 13 grams of purine. When you look at chicken for instance, it has over 100 grams - does this mean that chicken is deadly? Also, I've always been told to stay away from red meat but then again, ground beef shows much lower purine than chicken. I'm not debating if the info is correct, but how do you use this information? It's impossible to completely eliminate purine from your diet - this book doesn't focus on this.

Essential Information for Gout Sufferers by John Shows  5 Stars
June 01, 2009
I have been treated for Gout by my Doctor and by a Naturopath for several years, with mixed results. I've eaten cherries, taken Alopurinol, eliminated beer and reduced alcohol, cut back on meat, and tried numerous other remedies. I could expect a painful attack about once or twice a month regardless of all my efforts. This book was the first time I really began to understand the mechanism of Gout in total and how it is treated today. As a result of this book, I have not had an attack in over 5 months and am not making any onerous sacrifices. Rather than giving you one particular cure that will eliminate Gout for everyone, this book enables you to understand your disease and to work with your doctor to develop a solution that will make Gout a minor irritation in your life. Do I recommend it? If you have Gout, you don't need to ask.

Beating Gout was a good read by C. Lauster (Kona, Hawaii) 4 Stars
February 07, 2009
I was very pleased with Beating Gout -- it was straight forward and easy to decipher. There were good hints and tips about how to use the medications and why, which we have already followed, possibly averting another acute episode. This book was very helpful.

Best book on Gout! by Daniel C. Kinney (Indianapolis) 5 Stars
December 20, 2008
This is the best book on gout yet. I have read several books on gout and numerous subsections of broader category books and none have the detail of coverage this book has. Great book for anyone who suffers from the desease. Great book for anyone who treats or lives with a gout sufferer. I gave my doctor a copy.
