I came across this website searching for a faster treatment. I've used the prescriptions and diet, but good old baking soda in water works the best and fastest.
At the start of an attack, or even a suspected attack, you know, that weird tinkling right before an attack, That is were I go into action. First I flush my system by drinking plenty of fluids. I like cherry/cranberry juice. I will drink a cup of water with a table spoon of backing soda between meals (you don't want food and baking soda in your stomach at the same time) I try to do this at least 2 times a day with my last cup of the mix right before bed.
If you do this right before an attack, you won't get one. If you do it during an attack, it could be gone with in a day or 2... and at times, with in a few hours.
Just remember, this is not a "cure", but a more natural and safer treatment, then drugs, and it WORKS. It is still important to keep track of your uric acid intake. LOW PURINE DIET!!

its worked for me......Baking soda helped my Gout by: Jimbo
i had the pain of gout almost constanty for about 6 weeks. i've had it on and of for about 3 years now. i just put up with it but gradualy it was changing my life for the worst (not going out-grumpy all the time). i didn't want to tell anyone as its kinda my own fault as i drink quite a lot. I finanly went to the doctors and quite frankly they were rubbish. one even laughed at me..... the next put me on these horrid tablets that made me sick and didn't offer any relief!!!! (***holes) anyway i tried the baking soda and almost a few hours later i was feeling slightly better. 2 days later i was cured (i hope) and now its been 10 weeks pain free!!!!! I'm certain the baking soda cured me, and i'm so happy i want to tell everyone who is suffering to just try it. you have nothing to loose. and i might add that i didn't take as much as the info says to (i was dubious). what i did....
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda in a little water. (after lunch)
then same again next morning. drink a pint of water too if you can handle it.
i repeated for 3 days but on the third day i was allready feeling better..... thats kinda it......... i also recomend mixing ibuprofen and paracetamol to ease pain fast. i feel the baking soda was helped by taking these. i was on 800mg of ibuprofen and 1000mg paracetamol TWICE a day. now i take nothing... i'm feeling great. ironicly as i'm in painless and go out more. my drinking is down loads too. anyway thanks to whoever came up with the cure and shared it with the world. i'm here to say that it worked for me and if you have gout, give it a bash and spread the word.
