I have been having issues with gout now for the past 6 years. My last attack before this one was just about 2 years ago and I have since changed my diet by cutting out most meat and beer and that seemed to help for a while until this last attack in my ankle. After a couple of days I could not take the pain anymore and I try to avoid prescription medication so I found this site and saw the relief ACV gave a lot of people and decided to try it, I did 2 tbl and 1/2 tsp baking soda with 8 oz of water and a tsp of honey 2 times per day and by the end of the 2nd day of taking this the pain had been almost gone. This is now day 6 of taking this and my ankle is almost back to being normal. EC is a truly blessed site and I will be looking here for all my treatments

Gout:

I tried eating cherries til I was lookin like a cherry, drinking cherry berry cocktails etc etc and lots of anti imflamatory pills, ... nada!! But drink a glass of water with 2tbs of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda, I was in pure reliefwithin an hour, absolutely amazing, I'm so happy although its tastes like hell, feels like heaven when the relief comes.

Yes not only sinusitis but also gout and arthrities.

Used 2 table spoon of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 8oz of filtered water and drink it. 3 -4 hours you will be relax of pain but take your blood pressure first and 45 minutes after take it again. If your bp increased to above normal take bp medicine rt away or stop drinking. Its only precaution....

1 oz raw organic apple cider vinegar plus 1/3 teaspoon baking soda when I woke up and before bed made a noticeable difference in my gout attack.

I was guzzling water with lemons - no real change. Bought expensive tart cherry concentrate - no real change. Drank dark and tart cherry juice - no real change. Tried just ACV - no real change. Just baking soda - no real change. It was only when I mixed the two and added about 8oz water did I notice a big relief in the gout. I swear it dissolved those uric acid crystals within hours.

I did notice the lemon water gave me a huge energy boost.

I used PH strips to test my PH throughout the day and while lemon water slightly raised my PH the ACV/BS combo punched my PH through the roof.

My gout is finally gone after a good 20 days of suffering. But I think I'll continue the once a day before bed and before brushing my teeth 1oz of apple cider vinegar plus 1/3 teaspoon baking soda bs plus 8oz water. Then brush my teeth and hit the hay. :)

I had an extremely painful case of gout in my right knee. I went to an alternative doctor who gave me acupuncture for it and told me to eat just fruits and vegetables for 10 days.

I need to drive and work manually during the day and cannot live like that. I need some substance to keep going. Well after doing my own research I figured out a formula that has worked very good for me.

I take a flat tablespoon of MSM in about 10 ounces of water. I mix in about 1/2 to 1 flat teaspoon of baking soda. Mix it up. Then I add 1 to 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar. It takes lousy but has alleviated most of my gout. I take it before bed and upon waking.

The doctors have nothing like this to offer you.

For my husband's gout, we use one shot glass full (1-1.5 ounces) of organic Apple cider vinegar. Then add 1/2 TEAspoon of baking soda (mix in a larger glass, it foams up)....when it is all done foaming, then add it to a 16 ounce bottle of spring water that you have poured an ounce or two out of.

This is done three x a day....morning, noon, and before bed. In between I give bottled water with Emergen-C. It has 1,000 mg of vitamin C per packet. This is done until my husband is running to the bathroom. (Usually 3-4 packets).

It's the same concept as the coltachine RX the doctors used to script him. It works. I just killed gout in my husbands ankle off in 48 hours Last week. Try it and you will see how amazing it is!

Good luck!

After dealing with my most recent gout attack for the last 4 weeks and no possitive results from the prescribed medications I had nothing to lose by trying a more natural approach. I started taking 2 tablespoons of organic ACV with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda 3 times a day and had positive results within 24 hours. By day two with ACV I was able to put on a shoe again and by day four pain free. This seems to be a much safer approach than all the chemicals doctors prescribe and would recommend this to anyone suffering from a gout attack as the first means of treatment.

To Whom This May Concern: I too was a non-believer in this natural homepathic stuff. I began suffering with my gout issues many years ago. Once upon a time I was a huge beer drinker. Well, to make a long story, short I had to give it up due to life- threatening illnesses. As of recently I was diagnosed with polycystic kidney diease and congestive heart failure. Both of these dieases makes it very hard to maintain a compatiable diet. With these dieases I have a tendency to be prone with gout a lot.

As of now, I'm having a attack of gout in my left foot. Man, this time around it is so painful!! Anyway, I decided to try the baking soda and apple cider vinegar. I started it last night around 11pm. About 2 to 3 hours later I had to go to the bathroom and to my amazement.... I COULD ACTUALLY WALK ON MY LEFT FOOT!! Now I was shocked! How in the world, is this possible? I, usually take a prescribed medicine, predisone that takes a couple of days to work. Of course, I still have some tenderness but nothing like it was before. I just hope that there are no side effects. However, the relief from the pain and severe swelling, is truly a BLESSING!!

I was a non-believer, but now I am a believer of this remedy. I personally used 1/2 tsp of baking soda with 8 ounces of water on ice. I drank this mixture. Then I mixed 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar w/ 8 ounces of water w/ ice. Definitely be sure and urinate whenever possible. This process will eliminate most of the uric acid that's causing the painful crystals that form around your joints. Be sure and follow all of this up w/ drinking plenty of water throughout your day. Good Luck!!

Better But With Side Effects

Hi Ted... After 12 years with gout, I have tophi on the side of my right big toe joint. I've been on the ACV BS combo for about 8 days now and I'm going through periods of bliss when I experience no pain in my feet/ankles albeit stiffness (I suppose from 12 years of gout), but also some days of pain in my toe joints - not full blown flare, but minor. I know that the ACV BS melts the tophi and uric crystals and I read you saying it would take about a month of so to see real effects, so I'm wondering how to tell if the pain is actually the combo working to melt the uric crystals or not.
