RE:"While this can be partially normalized with a reduced purine diet, this still leaves an elevated level of uric acid which can lead to long term kidney damage. Taking allopurinol fully normalizes uric acid levels." Besides that most Kidney stones (75-85%) are Calcium based. 10-15% are uric acid based. About the same for Struvite based (mainly in women). It's extremely important to know which ones you have.

If you ate a vegetarian diet or added some occasional fish, drank a gallon of fresh clean water per day, ate plenty of organic cherries or pure cherry juice everyday, and cut out all alcohol, I highly doubt anyone would have any problems with kidney stones or gout. I would try that before I resort to a chemical (Allopurinol) with all kinds of side effects. The best part about that is that you'll be healthier and you won't need the medical system. To me, that's what Universal Health Care is all about. Prevention over cure.
