Apple Cider Vinegar Cure for Gout

Home Remedy Ingredients

• Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 Teaspoon
• Filtered Water - Large Glass

Taking an apple cider vinegar (ACV) tonic 1-3 times daily can improve your overall nutrition and help dissolve the uric acid crystals. Mix a teaspoon of ACV in a large glass of water (honey optional) and drink with a meal. Increase the amount of ACV as high as 2 tablespoons per glass, as your body requires.

I'll try the water and Apple Cider Vinegar and report back. Delighted to see some of these things work. I can't be called 'hoppy' for the rest of my life..."

02/21/2012: Gaylebsteve from West Columbia, Sc replies: "The remedy for gout is cherry juice. I buy it from a health food store in concentrate and drink it when I have pain. I have shared this info with friends and the ones who tried cherry juice agree that it works. The juice gets rid of the uric acids built up in the body."

[YEA]  10/20/2011: Maya from Elizabeth, New Jersey replies: "I have been suffering from gout for some time now and a friend had recommended this site and told me I might find the cure for this ailment. I'm currently taking allopurinol and/or colchicine but tonight I tried the ACV when I read it here that it worked for so many gout sufferers. And I can't believe that just after a couple of hours of taking the 'ACV potion' I thought I felt some improvement already. The pain had diminished some how. Thanks for your posts!!!"

[YEA]  12/30/2011: Brenda from Riverton, Illinois, Usa replies: "I found this site last week as I was searching for something that would help my husband with his gout. He had tried tart cherry juice and alfalfa which didn't seem to help as his gout attacks were coming on quicker with more pain and lasting longer each time. He takes allapurinol too. I noticed that many took ACV and so I bought some with the mother.

My husband decided to start out with a low dose to make sure he would tolerate it. He took 1 tablespoon in a glass of water in the evening. Within 3 days, the gout attack was gone. He is going to continue taking it every day. I tried to take ACV for shingles nerve pain but couldn't stand the taste. Another submitter suggested using 2 packets of dry lemon and 2 packets of stevia in glass of water with the ACV. It tastes so much better that I am going to be taking ACV every day too. Thank you to all on this site for your wonderful suggestions!"

08/16/2012: Adc from Phoenix, Az replies: ""Mother" is basically the culture - live enzymes that give organic, raw ACV all it's good properties. It makes for a much more potent/effective ACV than the ACV that has the mother filtered or heat-pastuerized out (in my own words. ) It's the "stuff" at the bottom of the bottle. Don't worry, I didn't know what the mother was when I first came across its usage. Thanks to EarthClinic, now I know!"

09/12/2011: Ridofgout from Charlotte, Nc replies: "Just so you know... It HAS to be the raw, organic, unfiltered ACV with "mother". Could you possibly have bought the filtered or "clear" ACV? If so... that offers absolutely NO nutritional value, and lacks the anti-imflamitory properties you need."

[NAY]  10/30/2011: Ilook4fire from Palmdale, California replies: "I've been taking organic ACV with mother for 2 days now, with no relief at all. I think it might have even gotten worse. The first day I tried 2 tbs of the ACV in 8 oz of tart cherry juice, once in the morning and then before bed. Today I up it to 4 tbs and no relief whatsoever. I even tried 1 tbs of baking soda in 8 oz of water, no relief. I don't know what else I can do?"

11/16/2011: Raefisch from Clearfield, Utah replies: "Jim from LA, You may want to investigate a condition called Pseudogout (MayoClinic.com)

As I understand it, Pseudogout, also called calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease, is not caused by uric acid crystals but by a form of calcium crystal. The pain and presentation of symptoms are almost identical with one usual difference, the big toe is not the primary area of attack.. Rather it is the knee, but as with "regular" gout it can attack other areas, hands, wrists, shoulders especially. I haven't researched what is on the web yet about this condition. It may be what is causing my symptoms as they are always in the right knee first and worst. Hope this helps you or someone.. Else. Good luck!"

08/07/2011: Marlane from Geelong, Victoria, Australia replies: "Hi Donna, As a New Zealander I am a big meat eater. Meat does not cause gout with me but citrus juice, especially orange juice and vitamin C in any form will cripple me in a matter of hours. I have found that ACV will neutralise the uric acid very quickly.

Good luck, gout is not pleasant."

08/08/2011: Carly from Seattle, Wa Usa replies: "My husband gets gout about 1-2x a year for the past decade. He started getting it again last week in his big toe, and going up to his ankle. We know the signs (sigh) and he was limping.

I got the crutches out, and started reading up on it on the internet yet again.

I read something interesting about baking soda on a site called icuredmygout(. )org - so I figured it couldn't hurt and it might help.

So, I gave him 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 10 oz of water - and then gave hime another drink of the same directly before he went to sleep.

I should note that earlier that evening I made him a v-8 drink with a full teaspoon of turmeric, and pinch of black pepper in it.

I woke up the next morning, and he was out of bed, walking around like NORMAL! (Not limping or using the dreaded crutches). I asked him how his foot felt, and he said he didn't know what magic was in those drinks I gave him, but something sure worked. Lol. This was the fastest gout episode ever. The regular routine would have included at least another week to ten days of even more extreame pain. Mind you, he said he was still a bit sore, but it was 80% better over night! I kept giving him the BS in water 3x a day for two more days, and then he stopped. All done.

It is not recommended to take BS that much, that often long term, as it can mess up your electrolytes. (From what I have read anyway).

Gout is a horrible monster, and the next time (and there is always a next time once you have had it) he will be hitting the BS first thing.

Good luck if you are reading this because you have it, as it really sucks!

Carly :)"

09/03/2011: Lawrence from Poughkeepsie, Ny replies: "thank you very much. I have had gout since I was 24 years old and I am 34 and I still don't how to cure it. But after looking at this site and what you recommended I will make sure I stick to it thank you very much"

10/22/2011: Dleske from Tacoma, Wa, Usa replies: "I will try both the apple cidar vinegar and baking soda... I feel like I will die with this pain.

It is SO BAD ... , I am in tears. At 61 years old I thought I have had enough pain in my life. I have done the doctor recommended alpurnol (sorry for the bad spelling) and many other drugs. I even got a doctors prescription for Canibus/pot.., tried it too. Made me feel happy and high for sure.., but did not help the pain.

Got my crutches for today.., but then read this article. I will try ANYTHING. Will report back if this really works. I think the ACV and BS is easy enough, but I will eat a can of cherries and have an apple with a few bananas which I saw recommended too.

I am a Real Estate Broker in Tacoma, WA."

[YEA]  08/18/2012: Joe from Davenport, Fl replies: "I read this thread two days ago after my second bout with gout. The next day I tried the Apple Cider, within four hours I started to feel relief. This is the best natural cure I have ever tried, it is a miracle. Still a little sore but I can sleep without pain! I'm adding apple cider vinager to my my daily regimine. By the way, it's better mixed with about 4 oz of juice."

07/04/2011: Lily from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia replies: "Hi Salmee, You can take apple cider vinegar anytime. Cheers Lily."

08/25/2012: Banks from Bronx, New York replies: "I wish to know where I can purchase Alfalfa and if it alone will work for gout. thanx"

08/26/2012: Timh from Louisville, Ky, Usa replies: "Banks, most all health food stores (online or on location) carry Alfalfa, but all Alfalfa supplements are not alike. If you are wishing to rid Gout using Alfalfa you will need to purchase "Alfalfa Concentrate or Extract" as this form would certainly be way up and over regular A tablets.

Use the "Shopping" feature on whichever search engine you use for web browsing and you will get lots of hits from many suppliers."

08/28/2012: Lee from Adelaide replies: "Just a thought on the use of alfalfa for gout. Alfalfa contains a high amount of purines which causes uric acid which can cause a gout attack. People who have gout should avoid foods that contain purines."

06/29/2011: Diane from Los Angeles, California Usa replies: "Dear Orji,

I checked on Ebay and in the "health & beauty" dept. and in "Home & Garden". Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is sold there. You can contact the seller to see if they will ship to your area and if the product will keep until it gets to you. Hope this helps.

Best Wishes, Diane"
