[YEA]  09/25/2008: Tim from Garland, Texas writes: "First a little history as Im not new(unfortunately) to gout attacks.I have been a gout sufferer for about 6 years .Normaly I would just bear the pain and wait it out. About a year ago my mother-in-law advised about black cherry juice for gout so I gave it a shot..It helped alot but took about 3-4 days of daily use to improve
I came down wih a FULL BLOWN PAINFUL gout attack in my right ankle on Sunday night. It had swollen twice its normal size. I suffered hoping it would go away on its own by this weekend due to a big athletic event I had committed to, well anyway by Tuesday I feared the worst it had not improved, in fact was getting worse- So on Wed morning I became desperate and began researching the net to avoid a last resort of a visit to the Doctor's office I came across this site on a google search..I saw the buzz over ACV..So I rushed to the grocery store and grabbed some..By late evening -nothing in fact it continued to worsen.. However, I wasnt ready to give up.. I remembered seeing a post about the unfiltered organic varity with the "Mother" in it. I went to Vitamin Shoppe and grabbed two bottles.. When I returned home in intense pain I might add, I put 3 tsp in 8 oz of watter and drank it down and hobbled to my recliner and watched tv..Within 2 hours the swelling and redness were going away . I took one more dose prior to bedtime at about 10:30 pm and the next morning it was 80% GONE!!! Another dose this morning prior to coming to work and I'm at 90% with normal walking!!!.. How this stuff can work like it did within 12 hours is beyond me but Im now a believer in ACV !! Whoever it was that discovered this God bless you.. Thanks again for being there and helping with this painful nasty ailment."

My mouth, armpits and privates had a metallic smell. My nuturionalist told me that my kidneys were not excreting the toxins in my body properly. He started me on a detox program with little results. I made an appointment with my primary care doctor who explained that he might have to put me on medication to reduce my acid levels to avoid getting gout. I told him I was in the middle of a holistic purge and would like to wait for the outcome before he prescribed medicine. Two days later I had my first case of gout in my right big toe (I initially thought my toe was broken as it was painful to walk on). Within a day, my top left foot began hurting and my knuckles on both index fingers were stiff and swollen. After searching the web for my symptoms, I realized I had gout that the doctor warned me about. I was determined to find a holistic approach and began searching the web for information. I found this site reading the testimonies of others that sounded a lot like mine story. I decided to try the ACV remedy that night. I took 2 TBLSP in 6 oz of water and within 1 hour the pain subsided, within 2 hours I saw a great improvement. About 3 hrs later, I took another dose before going to bed. When I woke in the morning, all pain and swelling were gone and my uric acid is reduced as my body is not excreting the metallic smell. I will definitely make ACV a part of my everyday life. "Thank you" to all those who shared their experiences with me and to this website for publishing them."

[YEA]  08/16/2008: Steve from Manchester, UK writes: "Yea, ACV has worked for me I am absolutely astonished. I have been in agony for 2 days, even night awakenings and at my wits end. i took 2 teaspoons in hot water and I can walk again after 2 hours. Thank you Thank you Thank you."

[YEA]  08/14/2008: Brian from Albany, New York writes: "I was starting to suffer from a gout attack, and have been really thinking of the side effects of my medicine. So I decided to search the web for a natural cure. I got to this site on the first try, and started reading. I thought, WOW, Apple cider vinegar, that would be easy. So I took the 3 tablespoons and by 2 hours later the pain was going away. By morning, I was completely pain free. I am so excited, and relieved, because the medicine I was on wasn't working great or fast. ACV taste really strong and bad, but it is a ton safer and better for you than medicines are. Also, my medicine is expensive, ACV cost about $1.39 for a gallon jug. Try it, it works!"

08/14/2008: Jason from Vancouver Island, Canada writes: "apple cider vineger for gout. i was suffering from the worst attack i have ever experienced! found your website and immediatley sent a friend to find some acv(as i could not even walk!) took two gulps, and within hours i was able to move around. by the next day i was in a boat reeling in salmon 20 miles off the coast of vancouver island! acv is amazing thank you so so much! i cant imagine what sort of shape i would still be in without it. now i have a spash with a cup of water every morning! thank you again earth clinic!"

[YEA]  07/29/2008: Rich from London, UK writes: "Add me to the yeas. I've been suffering from gout for about a month - after the usual blood test - 10 days ago I was prescribed Allopurinol 100mg. But it didn't stop the serious pain or resolve the serious swelling in my left foot. By Sunday night 11pm I was unable to stand up as the pain throught my foot was so severe. This included the tendon and the big toe. That's when I searched the web and found this site. Usually a total sceptic, I tried the ACV suggestion - 4 tablespoons in a glass of water. Then I went to bed. By the time I woke up around 7am both the swelling and the pain had gone. Amazing. Today, Tuesday, 36 hours later, I was running down the road to catch a bus. I've now bought some Organic ACV and take a glass in the morning and another in the late afternoon which seems to be doing the job. Total cost of ACV solution, which has also reduced my stress level back to Zero. $1.35 or $2.70 for around 10 days supply. So if you know someone in gout pain get them to try ACV."

[YEA]  07/09/2008: Tom from Redondo Beach, California writes: "I had my first full gout attack a couple years ago (surprise, surprise doc said i took to much liquid cold medicine and the holiday celebration diet i did was all wrong for gout) since then whever my big toe tingles i take Goutcure herbal pills to prevent the gout from becoming crystalized and very painful and that works for stopping it going to the pain level, but i still have a little pain and hobble around a few days so i tried the ACV just an hour ago by drink a few tablespoons and putting some on a large nakkin on my toe and boy do i fell better and have already started to walk around much better. it was a quick change for the better."

[YEA]  07/09/2008: Gregg from Spokane, WA writes: "I ran across this site yesterday after suffering a bout of gout in my knee for the last 4 days which totally ruined my 4th of July weekend. I have had gout on and off since I lost a kidney and since I am running on one kidney I have to be very careful about taking Motrin and such so I basically just suffer through the gout flare ups (but not anymore!). I must say I am very surprised at how well the apple cider vinigar worked. It's been less than 24 hours and I am already walking much better. Fortunately I enjoy the flavor of vingar so mixing it with some water and a little sugar or honey made it taste okay. I used about 4 Tbsp of ACV with 6 ounces of water and a Tbsp of sugar and ice. Tastes like a very tart apple juice. Next I am going to try the Oil Pulling to help cure some other ailments I have. I don't know about you but I am tired of taking pills everday."

[YEA]  07/01/2008: Rick (hdroadking12@charter.net) from Charlotte, NC writes: "I am sitting here at 3:36 am reading this website. My right foot big toe feels like its been rapped with a Nine Iron. Only about an hour ago, I took two tablespoons of ACV and I actually am starting to feel relief. I have fought Gout for four years with prescribed meds and I never tried apple cider vinegar. I'm hoping this will work. I will advise later. Many Thanks RICK"

[WORKED TEMPORARILY]  06/08/2008: Ketan from Singapore, Singapore writes: "I have been suffering from Gout for last 6 months. I recently came across your site and started taking ACV with "Mother" in a glass of water. Initially it did show some improvement, but then swelling comes again. I have not been cured completely by the remedies suggested here. Then I have also started wrapping paper towel soaked in ACV. Waiting for getting some good results. Will keep you posted on this."

[YEA]  04/15/2008: Bob from Minneapolis, MN, USA writes: "I have had a bad bout of gout in the toes of my left foot that would not go away and ibuprofin would not touch the pain. I was ready to go to the doctor for a prescription but instead I got on the computer and found your website. I first drank apple cider vinegar and that helped somewhat. I then tried soaking a paper towel in acv and wrapped it between my toes. What a miracle! I can walk today without limping. Thanks so much!"

Last, stay away from aspirin! Bad. I'm certain that my overuse of Excedrin (love that caffeine) helped lead to gout."

[YEA]  04/02/2008: Jack from Mackay, Queensland writes: "I've had gout for 4 weeks now tried everything cherries .diet drugs .after 2 days of 2 tablespoons of ACV 3 times a day i can actually move my big toe again the swelling and pain is almost gone APPLE CIDER VINEGAR is the BOMB for this very very painfull problem and thankyou for this very informative site"

[YEA]  04/01/2008: Gil from Richmond, Va writes: "I'm a believer! ACV has eliminated my arthritis/ gout pain!  I searched the internet high and low for a remedy and luckily came across this site at 3AM while I was awake with a particularly painful bout.  I figured, what the heck?  The next morning I went to the grocery store and picked up some_____ ACV.  I noticed a difference the next few days, but now after a few weeks I feel like I did when I was 20 (I'm 37 now).  I had horrific bouts with arthritis and gout periodically which became fairly constant and began to rob me of my LIFE- I could no longer do the things that I used to such as work in the yard, and I avoided any activity which could possibly involve steps.  It had even begun to affect my personal relationships as I was reluctant to make many plans bc I knew a flare up could happen at any time.  I had even considered that I would soon have to move to a warmer climate and into a home with no stairs!  I had medications but as I'm sure you know they only masked the symptoms.  But, as I said, I feel great!  No pains whatsoever since taking my daily regimen of ACV- three times a day the first week and then daily afterwards.  The first time I noticed the difference was nothing short of amazing- for the first time in 7 years I walked down the steps with a full laundry basket instead of creeping down them one step at a time (sufferers know what I'm talking about!).  PLEASE try this remedy- what have you got to lose but $3.50 for a bottle of ACV?  Good luck, and best wishes for a pain free life!"

[YEA]  03/21/2008: Philip from Thunder Bay, Canada writes: "ACV worked wonders for me, I've had a bad case of gout for three weeks with no relief in sight. I was diagnosed with gout and prescribed anti-inflammatorties. The pain in my right big toe was becoming unbearable. I poured a couple of ounces of acv mixed with water and drank it down, the taste was quite good compared to the pain in my toe. The next morning I was feeling much better and the swelling was going down. Three days later and regular drinks of acv and water I have to say the results are amazing. I will dispose of my pills properly and make acv a regular remedy."

[YEA]  02/28/2008: Sandi from Altadena, CA writes: "This is Sandi from Altadena again. I wanted to let you know that I still have not had an attack of gout since January of 2007! I am so sold on apple cider vinegar and now take a tablespoon in a glass of water at least once a week.  I don't mind the taste but you can put a little honey in it if you want to cut the taste.  I talked to my doctor just yesterday and told her about the ACV for gout and she said she would let her patients know.  I have made a point of telling everyone I know about the results of ACV for gout.  Drugs may work for a while but they only treat the symptoms, ACV treats the problem and cures it."

[YEA]  02/08/2008: Michael from Hammond, Indiana writes: "I have struggled with chronic gout for several years. About 3 years ago, while doing reseach on gout I foundention of Hippocaretes using ACV as a treatment.  I began immediately drinking a couple of tbale spoons with water and have had no full blown attcks since.  A few times, when it seemed like a flare up might occur, in addition to drinking it, I wrapped the toe or ankle in a warm cloth soaked in ACV and the symptoms were gone the same day.  Unbelievable I know, I am the ultimate skeptic.  But it is the truth.  My family and friends also swear that my moods improved soon as I started taking it."

[YEA]  02/06/2008: Brenda from Ridgewood, New Jersey writes: "I am a young middle aged healthy women and had always thought gout was something an older, over weight man would get. I woke up the morning after super bowl sunday feeling like I had broken my big toe. No swelling, no bruising, just so much pain I could not walk on it. All the sites I looked at for foot pain suggested insert for my shoes, etc. I came across gout on your site and was amazed that my symptoms matched to what I was reading. I am usually a wine drinker and don't eat much red meat, but being at a football party drank beer and had lots of meat and rich foods. I was in so much pain I gathered up my 3 kids (not something one does on a whim) and headed for the store for apple cider vinegar. At first I had 3 tbls in 8 oz hot water with honey and felt the trobbing ease up almost instantly. A few hours later I had about a 1/4 cup in 8 oz glass cold with splenda. After this I was feeling 80% better within  an hour. I had the same dose as the second before going to bed last night and this morning I am 100% better. I went from so much pain to nothing in 24 hrs!! You not only saved me from the pain, but I'm sure endless testing at the doctors to find out what it wasn't before they found out what it was. Anyone  should give this a try. Its fast, cheap and really worked for me."

[NAY]  11/14/2007: ronnie from huntington beach, ca writes: "I read all of the success stories about apple cider vinegar and decided to try it on my boyfriend. His last gout attack lasted for several weeks and wanted to prevent any further ones. I gave him 2 teaspoons with an 8 oz. cup of water twice a day for two days. I was shocked when he woke up the following morning and had pain in his foot and elbow. I was devastated that I was the cause of it."

[YEA]  11/01/2007: Niladri from JERSEY CITY, NJ writes: "I have had 4 attacks of Gout till date and each has cost me around $50-100 avg (my insurance withstanding). This time, I stumbled upon this site and decided to get a bottle of ACV for $3.49. The attack had happened yesterday and I am able to run today!!! If there was one miracle cure, this is it! I did also apply some hot water batch but under similar circumstances earlier that had not proved to be enough! So ACV had something to do with it! I am glad it did!!"

[YEA]  10/31/2007: Ainsley from toronto, ON, Canada writes: "Thanks for allowing me this space to share with you my experience with all, who like me spend a lot of time surveying this site.It is commonly believed and accepted that the common cause for gout is the consumption of red meats. This might be to some extent true, but, I would like to suggest that it is quite the opposite in my case.(Excessive nondairy protein such as dry legunes, red beans, black beans, chick peas and the like, Becareful not to over indulge.Uric Acid is a surity). I have been a vegetarian for over 30 years. I would on occasions eat salmon and not on a regular basis. I am very careful as to what I consume yet I believe that I have experienced some of the most severe attacks of gout.While it might be true that red meat is the cause for many people,absolutely not the case with me. In 2001 and 2003 I sustained some serious injuries in motor vehicle accidents.As yet, it has not been medically proven but I hve no doubts in my mind that my gout is as a result of my injuries.My injuries are at the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine with many nerve and disc damage. Obviously, internal organs would misfire and malfunction as in my case. By the way, it was from about the same time period that I realise that I was face with the problem of high cholesterol for which I have been using prescription medication, Ezetrol to be exact.Before I can tell you of how Apple Cider Vinegar has influenced my level of cholesterol, I am slated to have a blood test done within a week after wich I shall report to you. I have great confidence in APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. It is cheap."

[YEA]  09/12/2007: Duncan from Mansfield, Nottingham, England writes: "I had a really bad attack of gout on the top side of my left foot. I tried a number of different painkillers to no effect. The pain was so bad I could not even bear the weight of bedclothes on it so I had to go to sleep with my foot out of bed! I read some information about ACV on the web and decided to give it a try. I took 2 dessertspoons full of ACV in a glass of water 3 time a day, I also soaked my foot for half an hour in a bowl of 2 litres of hot water into which I poured half a bottle of ACV. After the first day I noticed the swelling had diminished, by the third day the redness had subsided and five days later I could walk without any of the excruciating pain! I am now taking ACV regularly every day in the hope that it will help prevent my gout returning!"
