That's a treatment all right. There's also some meds that you can take every day to ward off an accute attack. Do NOT drink bottled water; it's full of crytals that will add to your problem. Buy distilled water, and drink that instead. There's also a diet that you need to see if you haven't already. It's not a bad diet, just avoid certain "rich" foods, i.e. lobster, shrimp, sweetbreads etc.

Good luck; I hear it's quite painful.
