Apple Cider Vinegar - Good Or Bad For Gout ??? Posted: 10-16-05 07:13am
I read somewhere that apple cider vinegar
is great for gout and arthritis.
Then I talked to a old bloke who has been
both a gout sufferer and a sports &
physio expert and he almost fainted when I
mentioned apple cider vinegar as a gout
reliever.
He said that it's very acidic and is very
very bad for gout.
What gives ? Any ideas ?
Cheers,
paul

Apple Cider Vinegar - Good Or Bad For Gout ??? Posted: 10-22-05 22:48pm
Good, the old bloke should have known
better. Yes it is acid but turns
alkaline. Actually makes the blood ph
7.4.
Acv with the mother in it works wonders on
many ailments. Make sure it has the
mother in it. Best to buy from a health
food store.
Search apple cider vinegar+health and read
anything that says bragg.
I found this out by accident when I drank
straight apple cider one season to lower
my cholesterol (it did) and I found that
all my aches and pains disappeared but
returned when the cider season was over.
While at a health food store I opened a
book on acv and it changed my life. I
believe it said if you suffer from gout
you will have to take it every day. Acv,
honey and water is now my favorite
drink.
Cheers,

how much avc do you drink per day? I
drink a 16 oz bottled water with 3 tbsp of
avc. Do I need to drink more avc per
day?
Thanks in advanced :)

Bsr2002,
the bragg bottle says three times a day,
upon arising, mid-morning and
mid-afternoon.
1-2 tsp. In 8oz. Glass purified water
and optional 1-2 tsp. Honey, maple syrup,
blackstrap molasses or 4 drops stevia.
I think I drink about a quart a month. I
premix the honey and vinegar then pour
some into 4-6 oz. Distilled water when
thirsty.

Would I be able to start this regime of
apple cider and honey while having a gout
attack and taking colchicine?
Also, what is with the "mother" in it.

Hi all, just joined the site because I am
also looking for the answer to my gout
problem. Up till now it would have been
easier to find the holy grail.
There are lots of people advertising
"miracle remedies" but also want your hard
earned cash, they all say the answer is on
your weekly shopping list.... Well I
think this forum might have the answer to
my problem, so thanks to all contributors
of articles on cider vinegar and baking
soda....Keep them coming in
ps. Strange is'nt it that such a painful
condition can unite people from the 4
corners of the world..Maybe it's a sign

Apple Cider Vinegar...good Or Bad For Gout Posted: 07-21-06 00:51am
I really must tell you that some people
cannot take apple cider vinegar. Me for
instance. A few years ago I decided to
try out this magical brew as several
friends recommended it for general health.
I purchased the real mccoy, in this case
braggs with all the necessaries in the
bottle. I started on a low dose and
gradually increased to the recommended
dose over a 2 week period. By the end of
the 2nd week I noticed that I had a very
painful finger. It was swollen to extreme
and I couldn't use it and dare not knock
it. I did not give the vinegar a thought
until someone said it sounded like gout.
I stopped the vinegar immediately and
within a couple of days it had
disappeared. I retested this after
enjoying 3 weeks of normality and sure
enough it returned until I stopped the
vinegar again. Myself and my siblings,
parents and extended family members had
never ever suffered from gout or other
arthritic forms, so this was a real
surprise to me. But it gave me a taste of
what others go through so I appreciate
that. Thank you for listening. I am sure
that I am in the minority.

"there is no scientific evidence that
apple cider vinegar has any medical
properties." said beth fontenot, ms, ldn,

Gout Posted: 08-02-06 08:22am
A friend has had quite quick relief from
his gout by taking pantothenic acid (vit
b5), an herbal formula which deals with
the liver, kidneys, gallbladder and
pancreas and a calcium supplement. I was
amazed at how quickly he could stop using
crutches.
Everyone is different where the causes of
gout and the relief is concerned.

Treating Gout Posted: 12-10-07 23:54pm
I just turned 40 and have had gout attacks
for over 10 years now. I've taken
allopurinol and colchicine but I'm
terrible about taking medications on a
regular basis. The colchicine gets rid of
the gout on acute attacks so I always have
a prescription filled just in case I feel
it coming on. I haven't had an acute
attack in over a year and a half. The
key for me is to head off the gout at the
first signs of it.
Anyway, I also have had a good track
record with Sonne #7. This is a kidney
detox that helps get rid of excess acid.
It's not made for gout but after I read
the label, I figured it sounded like what
I needed and it couldn't hurt since it
eliminates any impurities you may have. I
don't think my kidneys get rid of it
normally. The active ingredient is
bentonite clay which the acid attaches to
and you excrete it. You need to take
vitamins because the clay is super binding
and it binds with even the good things. I
buy it at the Vitamin Shoppe near my house
but you can buy it at Whole Foods market
and many other places including online.
Gout is brutal and I wouldn't wish it on
anyone. Hopefully, something I've said
will benefit someone.
