Thanks for allowing me this space to share with you my experience with all, who like me spend a lot of time surveying this site.It is commonly believed and accepted that the common cause for gout is the consumption of red meats. This might be to some extent true, but, I would like to suggest that it is quite the opposite in my case.(Excessive nondairy protein such as dry legunes, red beans, black beans, chick peas and the like, Becareful not to over indulge.Uric Acid is a surity). I have been a vegetarian for over 30 years. I would on occasions eat salmon and not on a regular basis. I am very careful as to what I consume yet I believe that I have experienced some of the most severe attacks of gout.While it might be true that red meat is the cause for many people,absolutely not the case with me. In 2001 and 2003 I sustained some serious injuries in motor vehicle accidents.As yet, it has not been medically proven but I hve no doubts in my mind that my gout is as a result of my injuries.My injuries are at the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine with many nerve and disc damage. Obviously, internal organs would misfire and malfunction as in my case. By the way, it was from about the same time period that I realise that I was face with the problem of high cholesterol for which I have been using prescription medication, Ezetrol to be exact.Before I can tell you of how Apple Cider Vinegar has influenced my level of cholesterol, I am slated to have a blood test done within a week after wich I shall report to you. I have great confidence in APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. It is cheap.

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 had a really bad attack of gout on the top side of my left foot. I tried a number of different painkillers to no effect. The pain was so bad I could not even bear the weight of bedclothes on it so I had to go to sleep with my foot out of bed! I read some information about ACV on the web and decided to give it a try. I took 2 dessertspoons full of ACV in a glass of water 3 time a day, I also soaked my foot for half an hour in a bowl of 2 litres of hot water into which I poured half a bottle of ACV. After the first day I noticed the swelling had diminished, by the third day the redness had subsided and five days later I could walk without any of the excruciating pain! I am now taking ACV regularly every day in the hope that it will help prevent my gout returning!

I have no pain at the moment with my attack of gout, but I do have swelling on my right foot, I cannot relieve the swelling, I have tried ice and more ice, and nothing is stopping the swelling. I have tried, ACV organic, ACV regular, cherry juice, elevating the foot and icing some more. Nothing is getting rid of the swelling. How long does it usually last? Did your swelling go down immediately with the wrap of ACV and warm water on the foot? Please help me as the foot is not happy at the moment, and I do not know how to make it happy. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Put me squarely in the Apple Cider Vinegar YEA category.

A lousy diet led to gout, and I had no idea just how painful it could be until my first attack a couple of weeks ago during which my foot swelled up and I could barely hobble my way around. During two nights the pain was so bad I could hardly believe it, and I wondered if somehow I had broken a bone. Aspirin and other pain relievers barely dented the pain.

I went to my doctor, and she diagnozed it as gout. She prescribed five days worth of steroids to reduce swelling from the attack, but the pills had only a mild benefit.

Finally, my friend who is very much into healthy, organic foods, went on the Internet and found these references to ACV as a treatment for gout. Desperate for anything that would ease the pain and allow me to walk without cringing, I got some from my local store and immediately downed about 3 tablespoons of the stuff without water. Burned my throat (I now dilute it with water!), but seriously, within MINUTES my foot started to feel better.

I know I sound like an absolute nutcase, but it was miraculous how quickly I could feel the pain subsiding.

Folks, I am not a big devotee of "alternative" remedies and have tended to trust standard medical treatments. But ACV is doing the trick. Some of the soreness remains, and some days are better than others, but I'm getting around fine and without the excruciating pain and discomfort as before.

At the very least, if you're suffering from gout, it's worth a few bucks to buy a bottle of ACV to see if it helps you. Now, having experienced what that pain is all about, I hope it works for you.

ACV and GOUT: This is in response to Phil from Las Vegas. My initial comments were posted on 6/23/2006 (see post below). Since that time I have reduced my intake of AVC to a tablespoon in water a few times per week. My gout has not returned. I eat a normal diet with no constraints. Phil, I am not a manufacturer's representative. I'm just a customer who had success with the product. I hope you find a cure, I did.

Why don't the doctors tell you about ACV? This stuff is a miracle cure! I was having a gout attack I also took three doses of Asprin, prior tp going to bed. I woke up at 4:00am WIth my Big toe throbbing. I didn't know what to do. I have never had an attack like this one before. I went to the internet only to discover that taking aspirin increases the effect of the attack. My wife Finaaly awoke at 7:00am and went out to by ACV. By 12:00pm the throbbing had gone away. I took another dose at 12:00pm by 4:00pm the pain had subsided enough fro me to walk on it. In the past taking colchachine I would have been vomiting and other things due to side effect of the drug, and my foot still wouldhave been on fire! Thank you fro puttinh this stuff on the interenet. I will never again be without ACV!

In January of this year I wrote that I had tried Organic Apple Cider Vinegar as a remedy for Gout. I have NEVER had another episode of gout. I have eaten shrimp, scallops, steak and many things that cause gout but have not had a problem ever again. I took the vinegar 2-3 times a day in the beginning but now take it only on occasion. I am very grateful for this website and the information it provides to all of us. Thank you.

I have battled gout for about four years now. My Dr wanted to put me on daliy medications which I bought. A friend of mine told me about ACV, so I decide to try it! I have not had a gout attack in 6 months!!! I mix 2 tsp. of ACV and 2 tsp. of Natural Raw honey with 8oz of warm water and drink it three time a day. I feel a 100% better since starting this practice! Geno

I have had periodic gout attacks for about 3.5 years and really never gave to much thought to ACV. After a recent excruciatingly painful bout that festered in my ankle, I gave the ACV a try and I am definitely using ACV on a daily basis. Within 2 hours the pain had subsided. I believe with the correct dosage of ACV and a healthy diet and exercise, I hope gout will no longer be a problem.

I've tried ACV for gout and have had zero success. Has anyone else not experienced all the salutory effects like myself? I'm thinking there may be other problems. Any ideas? I drink plenty of water, don't drink alcohol but do drink a venti Starbucks coffee every day. Sometimes I think these sites are created by the manufacturer's for their benefit. If you're reading this, well then my theory is flawed but any suggestions would help.

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.

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.

I got terrific pain in my left big toe (which I have also had fungus under the nail for a long time) It was swollen and sore. I found the information about Apple Cider Vinegar and tried it...it was wonderful! I take it in the morning and evening. I pour some in a small glass, add water and 3 packets of Splenda. I have passed this on to friends and another tried it and it worked for him too. Yahoo for ACV!

EC: Read about artificial sweeteners.

i have been plagued with the gout, and i tell you its the most painful thing i have experienced. i have developed it in my left foot big toe. i am 36 , and i think my bad diet, and beer, and whiskey consumption were the major factors in my problem. i weigh 225, and i am 5 foot 11. over weight slightly as well. i am currently trying black cherry concentrate juice, and the cherry extract pills. before i bought these today i did try apple cider vinegar, blahh nasty, but the swelling went down pretty fast to my surprise! i still have a pain in the middle of my foot left of my big toe, but i can walk now. i never thought i could get something like this, but it can happen to anyone. i will tell if the cherry stuff works it out completely. for now i got my fingers crossed, and i am going to change my habits alot. drinking eating good food in moderation i think is a better idea. plus too much of a good thing spoils, and you'll get the gout!! good luck all, and drink plenty of water.

Last week I had an attack of gout, it was probably the worst I have ever experienced! It was in my right foot and ankle and just walking to the bathroom brought tears to my eyes. I was taking Naprosyn and Aleve and it was not working. In desperation I called several health food stores in my area and asked if any remedies for gout were on the shelves. One said he had invented a wine, one said cherry root and one said _______'s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times a day. My husband went to that store and bought the ACV. I took one tablespoon twice that day and the next morning my foot was normal! I was astounded, I could not believe it. I called the health food store and told them that I was taking the ACV by the tablespoon and he said to dilute it with water because it was too acidic alone. I don't mind the taste by itself but I am diluting it. In two weeks I am going to try eating shrimp and see what happens and I will post the results of that food test on this site. I realized that drug companies and doctors don't want us to know this for greed reasons but I intend to tell everyone I ever knew about this remedy for gout.
