Because of Gout, I want to try to make non cured bacon. is this possible?

First off welcome to SMF Alex and were glad to have you aboard. I have been a gout sufferer for about the last twenty years and the older I got the worse and more frequent the attacks came. If I'm not mistaken "they" say to stay away from red meat. Never heard of staying away from cured meats like bacon..........Well anyway...... I was miserable not long ago having attacks one after another and now for the past 2 yrs have been gout free. The medications the doctors were giving me I believe were causing me to have frequent gout attacks trying to keep my acid levels down.... So when when my acid level was low and i would eat or drink something I would have a spike in my acid level and my body would react to the spike and cause me to have a gout attack. I suffered gout attacks even when my acid levels were normal taking alopurinole. Another member here BIG TWIG posted on another thread about cherry concentrate pills and I took his advice. Here is the thread and take a look at post # 12.

I have stopped taking the prescription medications and have been taking the cherry concentrate pills and have been gout free for almost 2 yrs... I don't take them every day but if I feel something like a soreness I start taking them heavily and it goes away and life goes on...... I'm not a doctor or telling you to stop your treatment but this is my story I am sharing with you. I know what its like to suffer from gout and its miserable........
