Apple cider vinegar does work on gout!

I came on this site earlier because I woke up with a painful toe joint this morning. I read a comment about apple cider vinegar being used internally and externally and lo and behold this afternoon I am able to walk without any pain!! Thank you!

What a great product ACV is, I always have a bottle in the cupboard, I had Gout in my left foot 2 days ago and looked up remedies here on Earth Clinic and the top remedy is ACV, I immediately took 2 tablespoons in half a glass of water and within a few hours the pain was gone, when I woke the next day I could stand on my foot and no pain, I then took 2 more tablespoons in water just in case and it has not returned, if you have had Gout you will know how quickly it comes on and how painful it is. Earth Clinic is a wonderful site with so many great remedies and contributors. Art, Rob, Mama, Bill, etc. all helpful people.

Update: Honey does not increase your sugar levels. I am diabetic. Also, I have built tophi(accumulation of uric crystals) on top of my both feet in a 1 inch x 1 inch area. This had caused localized swelling. I used a cold patch 2 to 3 times a day . The swelling reduced. I am still continuing to use 4 tablespoons of ACV with 1 teaspoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda 3 times a day. Just got my blood work for Uric acid and it has dropped from 10 mg/dL to 5 mg/dL. Target now is to bring it down to 3.5 mg/dL . I hope this info helps.

Apple Cider Vinegar Dosage for Gout

The key is to increase the dosage to 4 tablespoons per glass of water with 1 teaspoon of honey 3 to 4 times a day. As per my blood work for uric acid it was 10(mg/dL) and it needed to be under 4.5(mg/dL). I am diabetic and have a stunt in my artery, so I take heart medication. I started with the above dosage once a day for the first day. Second day twice a day. Third day three times a day. Fourth day four times a day. Fifth day, I was able to walk. I maintained this dosage till the seventh day. Remarkable improvement. I hope it will help.

I have gout in my feet from time to time. I found that if I took a paper towel or two and soaked them in ACV ..wrapped them around my foot then did the plastic wrap over it..put a sock on... in a few minutes the pain was gone while resting. Did the same overnight and had a reasonably pain free night..

A caution tho.. it does seem to dry out the skin and gets a little itchy once removed.. skin seems very soft and can be broken scratching so don't over do it.

Apple cider vinegar with a small amount of lemonade has helped immensely with my gout.

I had no idea what was causing the pain in my feet. I've suffered with it for almost two years, until recently stabbing pains in my big toe caused me to research it. I had constant pain, on and off and my feet, and while sleeping. After finding out it was caused by gout, I immediately came to this site to look for a cure. I have only taken 2 shots of apple cider vinegar in the morning, for 3 days now, and I am amazed at my feet. The pain is gone and my feet are happy again, and I can walk! This morning I added a shot of lemonade and it made it much more palatable. I LOVE this website. It is my go to website whenever anything goes wrong with my body.

Last weekend, I took my husband to the ER because he was unable to walk on his ankle. He kept telling me about the horrific pain and knowing he didn't do anything to provoke it, I took him. After blood tests, it turned out to be gout. I was surprised because I honestly thought that happened when you're older than 45 or so. He's 36 and never had problems like that before.

They prescribed him Allupriol 300mgs and I just did not feel right about him taking a pill everyday. For years, I've used Earth Clinic for my ailments (kidney stones) and it always worked for me! I saw the post about ACV with honey and warm water.

I kid you not... less than 24 hours after taking him, the pain and swelling was gone!!! He was able to move with full movement of his ankle the next day. I was thrilled for him!

I warmed a cup of water with 2 tablespoons of ACV and 1 tablespoon of honey. He has been drinking it daily and he feels awesome! I know people wonder if these testimonials are true, this one is! Thank you for always helping those who want an alternative to a prescription, folks. It means the world to us!!!

As for the gout cure, I have it also but I get it from Oranges. Anyway I found if you take 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey, the gout goes away after 10-15 minutes.

It is the worst tasting thing ever and I have to sip the mixture but it does work. It may also be beneficial to take a tablespoon of the stuff every morning.

I have used the Apple Cider Vinegar now since a gout attack in January and haven't had one since. At the moment I feel a sight stiffness in my toe, I drink a bottle of water with ACV in it and it works immediately.

I've been taking ACV for a long time, and also give it to my handicap son for his gout. He hasn't got a flare up since I've been giving it to him. We take 1 to 2 tablespoons in about 4 oz of water twice a day, after breakfast, then before or after dinner. The trick to get it to taste OK, is mixing a pinch of salt in it. I tried many things but nothing work as good as salt for me. It just takes a little bit, but it sure makes the difference. I hope this helps you too. Bottoms up!
