Just took two teaspoons of acv with honey and also did a plotice for 1/2 hr with hot water and acv. Been in agony for 24 hrs now and don't wish to take the meds as the side affects are horrendous.
Fingers crossed.

Uric Acid and VinegarNEW by: David J Carter
This is really great information and ties in with a program that was on the Australian ABC radio national last year. It was a discussion between the presenter and Professor Charles Mackay Director of Immunology and Inflammation,Monash University,Melbourne.
If you go to the ABC web site you can listen to the discussion or download the transcript.
I’ve been able to lower my uric acid levels by taking apple cider vinegar every morning, my doc is very pleased.
It’s a pity info like this is not more readily available.
The discussion concludes as follows:
“Norman Swan: And you were going to talk about the Mediterranean diet.
Charles Mackay: Yes, what is it about the Mediterranean diet that could be so good that leads to longer life, lower incidence of certain diseases like cancer and even inflammatory diseases and probably it's a combination of things. It could be a higher intake of good food like higher fibre foods, or we think it could be short-chain fatty acid acetate or acidic acid, vinegar, and there's much more vinegar consumed in the Mediterranean than in other countries.
Norman Swan: And is there any evidence that vinegar has an anti-inflammatory effect in its own right?
Charles Mackay: Oh yes, vinegar goes back to ancient times as being beneficial for health but there haven't been many controlled clinical trials with vinegar or short-chain fatty acids.
Norman Swan: And where next for your research now that you've identified some of these molecules?
Charles Mackay:
We would really like to establish that short chain fatty acids are binding to this receptor that we've indentified which we show at least in the test tube and even in the mouse to be a very powerful anti-inflammatory. We'd love to translate that for use in humans.”
Cheers

Wow - Basalmic vinegar for gout by: Anonymous
I used basalmic vinegar that was in the cupboard. 1tablespoon in a glass of water. I drank it at bedtime. A couple 3 hours I awoke sweating like never befor. To my complete and total amazement my gout had 90% disappeared. My wife won't believe me because she has seen me in agony for 2 weeks now suddenly with a glass of vinegar?? Well I'm scared because this has worked so well and I am skeptical. I'm the person who has spent thousands at the doctors office on gout. Steroids, Soma, pain killers, cocyl man what a nightmare and to tell me this simple glass of diluted vinegar is my cure. I'm absolutely excited.

vinegar is acidic. acid is the cause of gout... by: Traian
nice article George. However, uric acid is the cause of gout and we are giving our body another acid (vinegar) to cure it? This doesn't make sense to me. Can you explain a little more how we "fight fire with fire"?

Thank you for your research by: 48yrOldMale
There are too many contradictory websites out there on treating gout. My gout attacks started 3 years ago and I've had some success, but can't seem to find a "SECRET" ingredient to keep the gout from re-appearing. I've eliminated beer, purines, and red meat almost completely from my diet, and have cut down on breads significantly yet still I sit here writing this with a very sore paw. I'm sure everyone has heard about "an apple a day...", I'm going out to buy apple cider vinegar and introduce this into my diet on a daily basis. I'll let you know how I make out.
