Arthritis: Gout Awareness Day

Maybe it's the word gout. Most people think of it as a disease from history. Or they find it kind of humorous. Actually, gout is a painful form of arthritis, and according to the Gout and Uric Acid Education Society, the number of Americans with gout has actually doubled over the past 30 years. Our awareness is especially high this Gout Awareness Day, as we begin updating our arthritis page and upgrading our entire Diseases and Conditions section. What a fine time for everyone to download the Society's informative brochure. Now please help us source this neat illustration [above right, click to enlarge].

O2.0 is the news blog of HyperbaricLink, the independent web guide to hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
