Oh damn--I DID get them confused. Goiter is the "gaad"--the stuff that you get if you don't get enough iodine. usually prevalent in 3rd world countries.

Gout is definitely the result of high metabolism rate of protein. I couldn't agree with highvoltage more.

Bhakte jee, your condition needs medical attention. A doctor will be able to better advise you on the change o diet. You definitely need to reduce (or even eliminate alcohol). You could try going to a free-clinic if that kind of facility is available in your city--usually they have those in big cities. If you want to send me a private message, I can look up free clinics (or cheaper clinics) in your area. In addition, since prescription medicine is so pricey, you could try purchasing generic brands. You would have to ask your local Walgreens or CVS Pharmacy regarding generic drugs--they work the same, they are just cheaper.
