Relieve Gout Naturally with Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment

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 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

To Ketan with gout from Singapore I don't know if you are familiar with poke sallet or "pokeweed" in your area on this planet, but poke berries are one of the best remedies for gout and arthritis. Still works for me. If you aren't aware of what this is and you think it might grow there, I will send you some poke berries to plant this fall when they ripen. If it will grow there, you can grow your own medicine.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

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.

Hello Roberta, from Sparta, Tn. I have heard a PhD botanist say that celery seed is good for the gout, but have never checked it out. I also am not sure if he was talking about that found in herb/spice section of grocery or not and I remember reading somewhere that this is not actually celery seed although it imparts a celery flavor to foods its cooked in. You being one of us TN "hillbillies" you should know what poke sallet is. Those pretty berries that you'll have to wait until this fall to collect, I can vouch for. They are not poison for I have been taking them for years & I'm still alive and kicking. At the time I started taking them, my health was worse then, than it is now - every joint in my body hurt - even my ribs hurt when I breathed. Life is a lot more enjoycable now, even though I am 39 or 40 years older than when I started taking them.

Caffeine causes the proteins to break quicker. That could be a factor in your gout attacks. I have had gout on and off for 21 years. I have tried everything known to man except the ACV. I will try it right now.

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!

It's tough to pinpoint what works and what doesn't with gout. Remedies may work enough to release extra stored uric acid in your body, actually increasing pain or swelling for a time. When I don't catch an attack in time, no combination of medications and cures is enough could stop an attack.

Through this site I did try Apple Cider Vinegar for the first time, and while I can't say that it is a cure (based on the paragraph above), I did feel actual tingling in my sore ankle the first two times I took 2 teaspoons--something I've never felt before. I'm going to try ACV gel capsules, along with my usual Allopurinol, C, and Milk Thistle (helps heal the kidneys) as my daily vita regimen.

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

Since the summer of 2003 I have been experiencing sparadic attacks of Gout and since then I had been in the market place in search of a cure or at least something that would bring me some relief. I have been using prescription medication, namely Indomethacin for the pain and Allopurinol for the elimination of the Uric acid. There was some relief but very short lived. I was introduced to Apple Cidar Vinegar, never before have I been so free of pain and secretion of Uric Acid. I drink six Liters of water every day and two table spoons of Apple Cidar Vinegar per two Liters of water. By the way for the swelling and excruciating pain I emerse the injured foot in ice cold water. In for five mins. and out for five this allows for the flow of blood. Prior to the use of Apple Cidar Vinegar the skin would peel from the effected toe on a weekly basis. I am a Black person but the colour of the toe in question would take on a different shade of black and it was very pronounced.Today, that is history. I could acttually walk on my toes without pain even though it becomes a little sencative. Maybe too soon to push it. I am betting on Apple Cidar Vinegar and Ice cold water.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
