A member asked:

Can a daily regimen of apple cider vinegar (raw organic with the mother) with baking soda help gout?

Not likely: Gout is an inflammatory condition caused by uric acid crystals forming in joints and soft tissues. The treatment is to increase uric acid output in the urine with medications like Allopurinol and penicillamine. Acute flares are treated with anti-inflammatory meds like Indocin (indomethacin) and colchicine. See your doc for help with managing your gout with diet and medication.
