A member asked:
Is it safe to take applecider viniger and baking soda for recurring gout attacks if your sodium level is high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adjuncts only: Gout is a serious systemic disease. If you're refusing scientific treatment (probenecid, allopurinol, workup for possible secondary causes) in favor of worthless "pop" remedies from sweet-talking crooks, you may pay with your health and even your life. If your sodium is already high for some reason, you can land yourself in the ICU by munching baking soda. Please do the right thing.

Hi doc, wondering if apple cider vinegar & pomegranate concsntrate juice really good/ suitable for gout treatment? Dont want to rely on pills only
Recently, I had an acute episode of partial regurgitation of a mixture of lemon juice/apple cider vinegar. I had taken it as a suggestion from a YouTube video to combat gout. The mixture obviously came into the back of my throat and burned the cords.
