Yes, a diet high in protein will provide more purines than a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is simply one of an endless variation of low purine diets. But a vegetarian or other low purine diet will not normalize uric acid in people who form more uric acid. So in the end your concept falls short and is nothing but fanciful nonsense. Likewise with cherries or other citrate containing tablets, nostrums or juices. A reduction unfortunately doesn't provide a normalization, so while your ideas while colorful they fall short of a solution. Allopurinol provides a solution by preventing the excess formation of uric acid. Far more elegant than your desperate attempts at partial answers. If you lived 10,000 years ago your knowledge would be quite useful -- or at least better than nothing. Its comparable to the medical technology possessed by the ancient Egyptians. However your confusion between narcotics and NSAIDs is rather amusing. In the world of pre-history medicine, this is probably not relevant, so your lack of knowledge is likely not important to you. .
