Jyy2, Baking Soda? How Is This Possible? Have You...... Posted: 12-02-05 00:25am
Had a doctor, lab tech, etc.... To find
out the cause on these effects? I know
just from reading on numerous forums that
you are pretty much the goutisgone
inventor. I really applaud you for that,
you must have changed so many lives.
Judging from all of your testimonials, im
sure you have alot more. But can you give
us a hit/no hit ratio? I know that alot
of the people here will probably not take
the correct dose or not do it right for it
to work.
As for me, what is the best way for me
to drink the baking soda. I cannot go to
a doctor, I have no insurance till january
next year. I have high blood pressure. I
have had gout on and off for 6 years
now....This year being my worst episodes.
I have had to use prednisone twice this
year to rid my gout. Colchicine works
sometimes, but only if I mix it with the
indomethacin and gor for about 3 days
straight, going through diarhea and head
aches (better pain than the intensity 10
of gout I always say).
I am 36 years old now. I am using blood
pressure medicine, paying out of my own
pocket for all my meds. I am about 15 lbs
over weight and also have a pretty solid
body since I have been extremely into
lifitng weights since I was 17. I have'nt
lifted for about 6 years now since I have
really gotten into my hobby (brazilian jiu
jitsu martial arts) for the last 10 years.
I want to continue with it, but this year
it has stopped me flat in my tracks.
Is there a way that I can start to take
half the dose that you reccomend and
experiment? Or is it based on bodyweight?
I know there will still be alot of
experimenting till we get the accurate
dosages for this.
Thank you and hope you can help me also
on this.
God bless

I am very sorry you have gout. I am not
a healthcare professinal. All my
postings are for info only.
Baking soda in water is not a treatment
for gout in the mainstream medicine. I
just accidentally found it to be extremely
useful in getting rid of my acute gout
more than 3 years ago. It seemed to
have worked for many others too. To
date, among the 266 people who responded
to my survey question: "if you have tried
baking soda to treat and prevent gout, was
baking soda ... ", 59% said it's
extremely useful, 12% very useful, and 15%
useful... My explanation on why baking
soda in water can help gout is given in
paragraph 2.7, section 2, in http://www.Icuredmygout.Org .
Unfortunately, my attempts to raise the
interest of the healthcare professionals
on the issue has resulted in total
failure.
Since baking soda in water is not for
treatment of gout in the mainstream
medicine, I could not find a reputable
source on its dosage for treating gout.
However, for use as antacid (in otherwise
healthy person), the dosage is 1/2
teaspoon in 4 oz. Of water every 2 hours
up to 7 times a day; for alkalizing the
urine is one teaspoon in 8 oz. Of water
every 4 hours up to 4 times a day. More
info about baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate) can be found at: ht
tp://www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/druginfo/
uspdi/202525.Html .
The pain and the stress caused by gout
attacks can significantly raise the blood
pressure -- up to 210/110 in some people .
Nsaids and some other meds used to
treat gout can also raise the bp. If
you have high bp, I suggest do not take
baking soda because it can cause the body
to retain extra water to increase the bp.
You may find the following helpful to
your gout:
* lose the extra weight gradually.
* if you are taking thiazide or loop
diuretics to treat your hypertension, talk
to your doctor about taking them off or
reducing the dosage.
* ask your doctor if it's ok to switch
your hypertension med to losartan/cozaar.
It can reduce both bp and the uric acid
level at the same time!
* track down the triggers of your gout
attacks and avoid them. They could be
be dehydration, starvation, heavy
exercise, certain food or drinks
(especially alcohol), medicines, heat from
hot weather, physical & mental stress,
...
January is just around the corner. I
suggest that you see a rheumatologist
(gout & arthritis specialist) about
your gout. Good luck and take care.

Jyy2 is dead on. As a doctor explained
lossing weight is both a great thing to do
and bad. Your body is excreting uric
acid all the time. As you loss weight
the tissue being destroyed increases uric
acid so lossing weight can cause a gout
attack. However, since you make x amount
of enzyme (that right?) to deal with uric
acid the less you weigh the better your
body can deal with uric acid on its own.
So, to recap, lossing weight is good and
bad. Ultimately, it is good, however.
I think the enzyme is a fixed amount. If
you get below a certain weight you allow
the body to do its job at uric acid
elimination.

Build Up Healthy Body Against Gout Posted: 01-16-06 05:24am
Baking powder may help temporary or short
term period like drugs allopurinol,
aspirin, nsaids, costicosteriods etc.
When you body resists against such
chemicals. Once there is excessive uric
acid in the blood it will continue to
crystallize and the kidneys are not
working fast enough to get rid off
excessive uric acids. It is like
thermometer either going up or down e.G.
Attack may be triggered oweing to wrong
foods taken etc.
To reverse gout, it requires herbs, diet
over a long period of time and I have not
taken any drugs for over 10 years!. The
reversal is gradual and natural. First,
I can control pain without drugs but with
herbs. Second, the appropriate herbs can
convert uric acid and crystals into gases
and dispose off naturally. Third, there
are vigorous movements of blood to clear
the blockage and swells in the veins that
trigger sensational and continuous
movements of toes and affected joints
during attacks. Once all these pain,
swells, discharge of toxic wastes are
under your control and command then once
is a a master of gout.
