Sodium Bicarbonate used to treat gout over 100 years ago Posted: 03-07-08 16:40pm


Check this out, guys: Excerpt from "Gout, Goutiness and their Treatment" by William Ewart, published in 1896. It appears that a connection between serum alkalinity and gout was fairly well-known in the late 19th century. The section on piperazine is particularly interesting as well. It may be worth looking into. Sometimes I think doctors "forget" old treatments that worked well as they constantly try to come up with new solutions to old problems.

I should have added the page number. Start at page 505, in the chapter on "The Sodic Carbonated Waters."
