Relieve Gout Naturally with Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment

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.

I have always been a healthy woman with little ailments, but the past few months my uric acid levels have been extremely high. 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, 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
