I wanted to create a short video on why

lemon juice can be both good and bad for

our itis now that’s kind of conflicting

so let me explain what I’m talking about

if we compare gout arthritis with

osteoarthritis there’s two different

things happening with gout arthritis you

have high levels of uric acid now the

osteoarthritis you don’t have uric acid

you have calcium deposits within the

joints and you have a breakdown of the

joints and you have inflammation so gout

symptoms get better when you make things

more alkaline okay when you alkalize the

body a little bit more with

osteoarthritis you typically get worse

when you make things more alkaline and

that’s probably because of the

relationship between calcium and pH if

your stomach for example is too alkaline

you will not be able to absorb calcium

so when you al collides the body you can

actually create a flare-up with

arthritis and as a side note you can

also create a worsening of allergies by

the way so in osteoarthritis you want to

acidify the body a little bit more and

that’s why we recommend apple cider

vinegar when you consume lemon or lemon

juice and it gets broken down

metabolized it actually turns alkalyn it

turns into a base and that worsens gout

because it makes things more alkaline so

citric acid whether it’s from lemons

limes grapefruit oranges when it’s

metabolize it turns alkaline and it can

make out worse so to lessen the pain in

the attack and the precipitation of this

uric acid all you have to do and this is

a temporary thing is alkalis the urine

now in Austria thread us if you alkalize

the body you’re going to make it worse

because of the connection between pH and

calcium for example it takes a very

acidic stomach to absorb calcium and if

the body is a little bit too alkaline

calcium tends to precipitate out and get

stuck in the joints so with cases of

osteoarthritis they do better with apple

cider vinegar to acidify the body

but with gout they will do worse without

cider vinegar now let’s talk about lemon

so when you consume lemon juice for gout

the person usually feels a lot better

because you lower the acidity but for

osteoarthritis you make it worse because

you make things more alkaline so for

osteoarthritis use apple cider vinegar

for gout use lemon juice and by the way

that’s just a temporary quick fix

that’ll make you feel better for a

little bit you want to correct the

underlying cause of course high fructose

corn syrup is at the top the list with

causing gout people that are sensitive

purines and I put a complete video on

gout below you should check it out if

you have this because the true cause of

gout is a sluggish kidney and you want

to keep working on your kidney now as a

side note when you do in a minute

fasting your body will produce more uric

acid as an antioxidant and if you’re

sensitive to it it could give you a

flare-up of gout and this is why you

could either do lemon juice or you can

do potassium citrate to alkalize the

body to chill out this acidity and turn

off that gout symptom alright thanks for
