JYY - ' I Cured My Gout'
'JYY' founder of ICuredMyGout.org describes how he managed to overcome his gout attacks after years of suffering from this condition. Despite lack of success trying conventional medicine, visiting medical specialists including a podiatrist, two surgeons, a neurologist, and a rheumatologist JYY found a simple cure for his gout. JYY noticed from past medical records that his urine pH levels had been low and acidic (pH 5.5). Comparing past urine levels to present he found that his blood urine pH levels were still low and he set about raising them. JYY writes,
"So I alkalized myself by drinking 1/2 teaspoonful of baking soda in water, once during the day and once before I went to bed. On Day 2, the pain seemed to have subsided so I repeated the same treatment. When I woke up on Day 3, I sensed something very alien yet so familiar. "
JYY was able to breathe much easier, felt well-rested and the "ingrained worry of having to face another day of painful gout was not there any more". Within a week, the symptoms of gout, tight and puffy toes, pain in the feet (Neuromas and Metatarsal Capsulitis/Bursitis) and the minor pain and stiffness in the joints all over the body were all improved.
JYY then 'tested' his cure, eating purine rich foods including organ meat, sausages, red meats, and a selection of shellfish. None of these foods triggered further gout attacks. JYY can even enjoy red wine without fear of further gout attacks! JYY states that his cure (raising the bodies pH by taking baking soda), indicates that hyperuricemia is neither necessary nor sufficient for gout.
