I cannot belive that the medical profesion does not know about this, all the wasted time & money spent on on these problems can be solved with a simple remedy ACV. Many thanks to earthclinic web site & ACV. Len from London Ontario"

[NAY]  03/20/2007: Phil from Las Vegas, NV writes: "I've tried ACV for gout and have had zero success. Has anyone else not experienced all the salutory effects like myself? I'm thinking there may be other problems. Any ideas? I drink plenty of water, don't drink alcohol but do drink a venti Starbucks coffee every day. Sometimes I think these sites are created by the manufacturer's for their benefit. If you're reading this, well then my theory is flawed but any suggestions would help."

[YEA]  03/20/2007: Diane from Fullerton, CA writes: "I got terrific pain in my left big toe (which I have also had fungus under the nail for a long time) It was swollen and sore. I found the information about Apple Cider Vinegar and tried it...it was wonderful! I take it in the morning and evening. I pour some in a small glass, add water and 3 packets of Splenda. I have passed this on to friends and another tried it and it worked for him too. Yahoo for ACV!"

[YEA]  03/19/2007: Mark from Fairfax, VA writes: "i have been plagued with the gout, and i tell you its the most painful thing i have experienced. i have developed it in my left foot big toe. i am 36 , and i think my bad diet, and beer, and whiskey consumption were the major factors in my problem. i weigh 225, and i am 5 foot 11. over weight slightly as well. i am currently trying black cherry concentrate juice, and the cherry extract pills. before i bought these today i did try apple cider vinegar, blahh nasty, but the swelling went down pretty fast to my surprise! i still have a pain in the middle of my foot left of my big toe, but i can walk now. i never thought i could get something like this, but it can happen to anyone. i will tell if the cherry stuff works it out completely. for now i got my fingers crossed, and i am going to change my habits alot. drinking eating good food in moderation i think is a better idea. plus too much of a good thing spoils, and you'll get the gout!! good luck all, and drink plenty of water."

[YEA]  01/21/2007: Sandi from Altadena, CA writes: "Last week I had an attack of gout, it was probably the worst I have ever experienced! It was in my right foot and ankle and just walking to the bathroom brought tears to my eyes. I was taking Naprosyn and Aleve and it was not working. In desperation I called several health food stores in my area and asked if any remedies for gout were on the shelves. One said he had invented a wine, one said cherry root and one said _______'s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times a day. My husband went to that store and bought the ACV. I took one tablespoon twice that day and the next morning my foot was normal! I was astounded, I could not believe it. I called the health food store and told them that I was taking the ACV by the tablespoon and he said to dilute it with water because it was too acidic alone. I don't mind the taste by itself but I am diluting it. In two weeks I am going to try eating shrimp and see what happens and I will post the results of that food test on this site. I realized that drug companies and doctors don't want us to know this for greed reasons but I intend to tell everyone I ever knew about this remedy for gout."

[YEA]  01/02/2007: Jeff from Ohio writes: "I HAD A BOUT WITH GOUT AND COULD HARDLY WALK. AFTER TAKING APPLE CIDER VINEGAR THE NEXT DAY THE SWELLING WAS GONE. AFTER 2 DAYS THE PAIN HAD DECREASED AND AFTER 3 DAYS IT WAS ALL GONE. THIS IS TRULY A GREAT REMEDY."

[YEA]  12/20/2006: Tandy from Montreal, MO writes: "First thing in the morning I pour a large glass of filtered water (using a PUR water pitcher) with 2 tbls of ACV added. Since beginning this while under a severe gout attack in the base of my left big toe where I had once suffered a break, I have had NO more attacks and have changed absolutely nothing else in my daily life. I not only recuperated faster than normal from the severe attack, but the swelling that was always in that toe knuckle before, is no longer there. Yes it tastes bad, but a few seconds of bitter aftertaste verses excruciating pain is a trade-off I'll make every time."

[YEA]  12/01/2006: Jeff from Dayton, OH writes: "This was my first experience with gout (in my left big toe) so I researched the internet for natural cures. I found out that apple cider vinegar was one of the fastest cures available. Before bed I took 2ozs. with honey, when I woke up in the morning the swelling was gone and although I still had some pain I could at least walk again. I took another 2ozs. before I left for work and after 2 or 3 hours the pain was minimal to the point that I could curl my toe again."

My toe with its gout, is on the mend as well and my knee is basically at the 98% mark. All this after only three weeks. I drink a shot glass ( 2 ounce that once hosted my Tequila ) in a glass of Lemonade ( Paul Newmans or any other half decent brand ) with a little diet sprite flung in there as well. Makes a nice tangy spritzer type drink. That's it. We are both sold. It has now become our daily regimen. To the ancients out there that cottoned onto this cure......THANKS!"

[YEA]  10/16/2006: Wayne from Umhlanga Rocks, Kwazulu Natal South Africa writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar has cured high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and gout. 2 tbl spoons in a glass of cold water every morning. This is truly God's gift to mankind. You will never need another pill, ever. By the way, the gout was caused by taking the pills prescribed by my doctor. (rosuvastatin 10 mg ). It's such a pleasure to be able to pass on such good news. God bless you all."

[YEA]  06/23/2006: Mike from Placida FL writes: "I was having an attack that lasted between December 2005 and April 2006. The gout slipped in and out of the acute stage several times, but was always present. I limped for almost 5 months. One Sunday afternoon, it was becoming acute so I tried ACV. Two tablespoons in the afternoon and 2 at night worked. I was walking the next day. This has never happened before. Once an acute attack started, it always took several days to subside to the point I could walk and even longer to be pain free (4 -5 weeks). I used ACV three times per day mixed in blueberry or black cherry juice for a month. Since then I reduced the intake to once a day. (I used juice concentrate, ACV and water to make it taste a little better). Here's the result: Absolutely no pain since mid-April and my toe joint swelling has been significantly reduced - the smallest in 10 years. And 2 days ago I ran 5 miles on my treadmill. I have made no other dietary or lifestyle change; this result can only be explained (to me at least) by the use of ACV. Mike
PS: I used the _______'s product. It costs about $5.00 in health food stores."

[YEA]  03/17/2006: Rick writes: "This is working great for me. I take (6) medicine dropper teaspoons with (16) ounces of water, once a day. I'm confused about the difference between using silverware spoons or the medicine droppers, there's a big difference in the measurements. Thanks for all the natural cures."

[YEA]  01/20/2006: Sheila writes: "Can someone tell me how much to drink when you get a gout attack? I just got one last week and I drank extra ACV (2 T a day in addition to what I normally drink) plus 30 bing cherries (no sugar added). It helped keep the swelling down some but for 2 days it still hurt like the dickens."

[YEA]  08/11/2005: Mike from Brooklyn, NY writes: "apple cider vinegar seems to be working for me also. 2 tablespoons in 8 oz of water 3 times a day,i also make a blueberry and strawberry smoothie at night. i stopped taking colchicine because it is poison and depletes your bone marrow,i feel a lot better and haven't had gout in a long time. my doctors don't seem to be any help for my condition. all they want to do is prescribe drugs. i'm tired of them poisoning me. you should also be tired of it colchicine is a pool cleaner in large doses they use it to clean pools and can kill you in high doses why do they want us to ingest poison?"

[YEA]  Phil from Wales, UK writes: "I have been taking 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar plus 1 Tablespoon of honey in 1/2 cup of boiled water 3 times a day for the last 3-4 weeks, plus doing chi kung exercises and have been able to stop taking piroxicam for gout (I've got the tablets nearby just in case!). I use Aspells organic cider vinegar - I live in Wales so _______'s cv is presumably not available."

[YEA]  Mae from Maumelle, AR writes: "ACV is a miracle cure. The whole world should know about it! It's cured my family af allergies, my husband of gout, my dogs of skin ailments...we love it..it's changed our lives."

[YEA]  Al from Big Lake, MN writes: "I was having the worst gout attack in years, the pain brought me to tears, as my left foot was swollen to the ankle. Ibuprofen did not work even in large doses. My wife gave me 2tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 tbspn of organic honey (2 times daily); within 3 hours I was walking around with minimal pain and 1 day later I was able to put on my shoes and walk with little pain on the third day it's almost all gone. Amazing, considering it usually lasts for at least 1 week, I am an absolute believer in this remedy."

[YEA]  Thomas from Tomball, Texas writes: "Re: Gout! I have suffered from gout for many years and I eat right. I admit to being a gourmet cook and use cream and rich ingredients on a regular basis, but I get my veggies and other nutrients. I feel this attack was caused by stress, because I did not have any rich foods prior to the attack, and I had to deal with hurricane Rita. I usually have an attack only once per year. I recently found this site when I had an acute attack and could not take it any more. I was ready to cut my foot off because of the pain. I used ACV both internally (4 times per day, 2tlbs with 8 oz. of water) and externally as a pain reliever directly on my foot. I was able to walk on my foot the following day when I could not put any pressure on it the day before. On the second day the swelling had decreased enough to wear a shoe and go to work although by the end of the day the swelling showed. On the third day the pain was nearly gone and my foot was almost normal. This is an incredible remedy for someone who's previous acute attacks lasted for at least one week. Thank you for creating this site and I plan to share it with everyone that I know who is suffering from this painful affliction."

[YEA]  Lori from Maine writes: "My significant other has suffered with gout since 2003. His doctor prescribed the usual pills that didn't work. His pain & swelling got worse. I found info on the web about trying cherries. He ate loads of fresh cherries & it got better. I bought him bottles of organic cherry juice, he drank a quart one night and the next day it was almost gone. This year his blood sugar was high when he got an attack of gout. I read on this site about the apple cider vinegar. He agreed to try it, drank 2 tbsp mixed with a cup of water 3 times a day... got out of bed the next morning and it was almost gone! Amazing. Yesterday, a co-worker was limping. When asked what happened he said "GOUT!". I got him to try the apple cider vinegar and this morning he walked into work without a limp! He said it was 90% gone and the only thing that has ever worked! It's amazing."
