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.

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 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.

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!

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!!

"We don't know what more we can do for your father" stated two doctors standing at the foot of my father's hospital bed. "We're going to take him off all his medication and just let him ride it down. He may live two days, maybe as much as ten days. Keep him as comfortable as you can." The gout in his legs was so bad, he was on morphine multiple times a day. We took him home, but kept him on the coumadin because of his artificial heart valve and a diuretic to keep his kidneys going. Lo and behold, he got a little better without all the pills, but his gout was still bad. He couldn't get out of bed because of the pain and swelling. Then my sister came up with a formula she found on earthclinic.com.
"After the first day, I noticed the pain was significantly reduced. Within five days, my pain was completely gone. I swear by this stuff, " my father said. I asked, "Do you mean your gout pain?" He answered, "All my pain, even in my joints. " Then he danced a little jig to prove it. My father is 94. That was four and a half months ago and my father is now walking around and enjoying life again. Here is the recipe for what he is taking three times each day, morning, noon, and night:
Combine the baking soda, honey, and water. Nuke the mix in a microwave for 12-14 seconds. Stir to completely dissolve the baking soda. Very slowly add the ACV to keep the fizzing down. Slowly add the juice.

I wanted to post to share my experience with this mixture. I joined the gout club about 3 years ago and the first incident was total and utter pain - so bad I would never want anyone to go through what I did. I am 35 and since my first incident, I've had a few small flare ups - 1 big one that was symbolic of my first experience. I've been taking celery seed extract as a daily supplement for about 2 years now and it has helped but I've never found a great cure for when an actual attack happens.
BEHOLD my gout friends, a cure.... Apple Cider Vinegar (acv) and baking soda (bs). I can't believe how effective this combination was. I get a slight sting in my foot whenever a possible flare up comes around. This time, I wanted to see if there was something to take (other than prescribed meds) to help ease this flare up. Came across earth clinic and I can't thank you all enough.
Day 1: I was at work and the sting was coming on so I read into this site. On my way home I bought ACV from Whole Foods (i had BS in the freezer). Got home and did 4tsp of ACV and 1 of BP. I did 3 more servings before going to bed.
Day 2: Pain had not increased and swelling was about the same - some redness showed. I did about 5 maybe 6 servings that day.
Day 3 (today): I had to buy some more ACV (as it was the small bottle) and have done 4 so far and will do 2 more before going to sleep. The sting is completely gone, swelling completely gone.
Crazy? Yes. For me, the flare ups in the past usually lasted atleast a week - sometimes to a point where I was limping and using a cane.
Bottom line - I LOVE ACV BS. Thanks!!!!
I used the [organic] brand ACV. Miracle cure? Possibly.
Gluton (Camden, Me) on 06/27/2012:
My body is fighting back from all the years of abuse. Im glad its pain in my big toe and not heart failure or something else. After this bout ill start exercising again and eating clean - my big toe is looking out for me.
Oh as far as cures. Lots of water, ACV BS in water. For food Im just going to eat boneless skinless chicken breasts off the foreman grill and veggies, cottage cheese low fat on toast and eggs. I need to stop eating so much canned tuna and limit my coffee intake.
Thanks for a great site!

I tried all kinds of cherries and berries, celery, seaweeds, procosa, supplements and at lot more but nothing really works for keeps until I ran to this website. I never had a second thoughts of trying ACV with mother ( at first I am quite at a lost with the "mother" term and realize this is the organic type of ACV ) and goes out of my way to seek and find this ACV with mother. To cut the long story short I got it tried it. I don't know what's the miracle behind it, I can feel the effect after 3 hours, I am 80% better in 24 and I am positive that in 2 days my pain and swelling will be gone. I am on my second day and really feeling good. I am really happy because of my new discovery. It's really unbelievable, a miracle cure. Thank you for all these information, it will help a lot of people who had been suffering from this ailment.
Before I forget, the concoction is the same 3 tbspn of ACV and 1/2 tspoon of baking soda and spruce it a bit with organic honey. Take this 3x a day and you'll see the miracle.

I suffered from what a supposedly renowned Rheumatoligist told me was Wegener's Granulmatosis. Ha! It turns out I have tophaceous gout. I have been using Ted's Alkalizing formula (apple cider vinegar and baking soda) for 6 months now and my gout symptoms, the tophi and pain are almost gone. I also suffered from very severe bile reflux. My bilirubin levels have always been very high. Ted suggested that I take 1 teaspoon of granulated lecithin per day. My bilirubin levels are now within normal range and I no longer suffer bile reflux.
I am about to embark on an H2O2 regimen to see how that goes.
Thank you Ted and Earth Clinic.

Also, people who are overweight are at risk of developing it. I was truly grateful to the people on this website who said that they have used Baking Soda and also Apple Cider Vinegar. I have tried both to see if one works better than another. I have only used these natural treatments for about 5 days now, and already my ankle has improved. No more pain when I touch it, and I can walk normally on it now. If I sit for long periods and then stand up, it starts to hurt again. But there has been a definite improvement overall. Thank you for your suggestions.
Also, doing further research earlier, I discovered that people have to use caution when using the Baking Soda because it can cause some other health problems if you use too much of it. The suggested recipe I use is as follows: 8 oz. of water warmed in the microwave first, then add 1 teaspoon of honey and stir until dissolved, then add 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. You can take that once or twice daily. I prefer first thing in the morning and just before going to bed. It seems to be more effective on an empty stomach. It actually doesn't taste too bad. The Baking Soda recipe is 1/2 teaspoon of Baking soda mixed with 4 oz. of water. You can take that 2-3 times per day. I hope that these remedies work for someone else, too.

Since July 12, 2011 I have taken 3 days in a row, lost of vitamin C as it worked before... But did not work this time... So I went on line to search for other natural remedies... Found the ACV and honey formula... But I am 100% vegan (yes, even vegans have gout, if it was there before becoming vegan.. I presume that is the truth) so I do not use honey and used stevia instead... 3 days of that formula.. The swelling and pain was still there.. Then I mixed Vitamin C and the ACV with water and lemon and stevia... It seamed to work, but not as it was shown it worked with others... So I went back to read the formula and I was doing it wrong... I used too much ACV... Almost 4-5 times J Anyway... I changed a little as the formula say and went on for a few more days and since it was not working as fast as I imagined, two days a go went back to search again and found the baking soda formula... VOILA" I got relived from the pain almost instantly and I say THANK GOD finally found something that brings fast results and it looks like long lasting as well.
So I have been drinking 8 oz of water with ½ teaspoon of baking soda 3 times a day..
Yesterday was a triumph and this morning got up very happy because the swelling and the pain was very minimum... But now is after 9pm at night and I can see the swelling is gone up and there is a little pain... Nothing to worry and I also must say I can sleep fine with no pain keeping me awake, I ma certain tomorrow morning will be much, much better
Not sure why or how come the swelling come up in the evening... But it has done this a few other times before.. So I got used to.... But I must say I can feel this is it, this formulation works more then any other one that I used before and it is all natural.. wow!!!!! But I also must say that I am not 100% sure what really worked more then the other since I use everything else before..
The end of this post... I also changed to a 90% raw diet and stay away from all foods known to have high purine contents, like beans and lentils and so on, I will continue taking Baking Soda and water, together with one or two times a day the ACV formula and once the swelling and pain is all gone.. And my healthy foot and immune system is 100% healthy and great shape as it was many times before... I will continue taking some ACV with water from time to time and also baking soda with water for maintenance... I am certain gout will be a thing of the past from now onward
Hope what I wrote assist someone here as your post assisted me and more.

I tried just a very small amount of baking soda and apple cider vinegar twice. I also applied some ibuprofen pain relief gel twice. Because I suspect that carbohydrates cause the gout flame up in the first place, I cut my carbs. Today, the angry redness is very slight and the pain has subsided. This is miraculous as I have been almost crippled with the pain in the past, unable to sleep and unable to walk properly. The reason I think carbs bring on an attack is because I have been eating more of them every time I have had an attack. Thank you everyone for your advice. Jodie
