I suffer from gout; there's a lot of theories about giving blood to help lower uric acid levels. Some people claim releif from symptoms after donating. In theory, it sounds plausable...
"Studies have shown that iron acts like a catalysis for the crystallization of uric acid. So if your iron serum levels are lower it will keep the uric acid in your blood longer to give your kidneys more time to remove it from your system."
