My friend advises that his German mother simply treats her gout using  
a long-known German remedy of urinating on the affected toe...  
apparently since uric acid is in solution in urine, this helps to  
dissolve and remove the offending uric acid that is inside the toe.

(Since this is a public archived list, I better state that,  
medically, the above is not expected to work!)
