Gout and Baking powder

by NEVILLE COOKE
(FORSTER AUSTRALIA)

I HAVE BEEN TRYING BAKING POWDER NOW FOR 3 WEEKS,THE SORENESS IN MY TOES WENT IN ABOUT A WEEK, I THEN WENT OFF TAKING IT, BUT AFTER 4 DAYS THE PAIN RETURNED RETURNED.SO I HAVE STARTED TAKING IT AGAIN NOW FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND THE PAIN AS REDUCED SO NOW I ONLY HAVE TWINGE IN MY LEFT BIG TOE, I AM SURE THIS WILL DISAPPEAR WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. MY DOSAGE IS HALF A TEASPOON IN WARM WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND LAST THING AT NIGHT.I THINK YOU COULD INCREASE THIS TO 3 TIMES A DAY IF NEEDED. BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND CUTTING YOUR SALT INTAKE DOWN. AND ALSO CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR AS I DID TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING BAKING SODA. MY DOCTOR SAID IT WAS OK,BUT BELIEVED IT WAS AN OLD WIFE'S TALE AND IT COULD WORK.HIS SUGGESTED COLDGOUT. WITCH I TRIED FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND WAS SICK WITH GASTRIC AND BAD STOMACH UPSET. HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS.
