now of all the medical conditions

gout seems to be

a very mysterious condition

you know the theory of um

we’re consuming too many purine

type foods

and the uric acid that is broken down

from purines is

developing crystals

that deposit in your big toe

yet so many people that go on a low

purine diet

don’t seem to get rid of their gout

and then people that get on medications

just don’t like the side effects

that these medications create so today

i’m going to show you a very effective

remedy

for gout using

a different strategy but first i wanted

to mention some very interesting things

about god that you should know about

most of the uric acid that is in your

body

the great majority of it

is coming from an endogenous source

whereas an endogenous mean it means that

your body’s creating it okay your body

is making this uric acid

only a small amount of uric acid comes

externally from your diet and 50 of the

people that experience gout attacks have

normal uric acid and the crystals that

are forming from these uric acid

crystals

are not even in the exact location where

someone is experiencing or feeling the

gout attack and of course the other

point is about genetics you know if they

can’t figure out what what’s causing it

it’s probably just your genes

but that also has some holes there is a

genetic tendency for gout

but mainly in australia i think one out

of 20 people in australia get gout due

to their genes but out of all the people

that have a genetic propensity to have

gout

only 10 of those people

actually have gout attacks so there’s

just so much confusion in this area it’s

ridiculous and so apparently in a gout

attack

um the pain is not necessarily coming

from the crystals that are digging into

your tissues

it’s coming from an immune reaction okay

there’s some immune response

that’s getting triggered from the uric

acid crystals

that’s what’s causing the inflammation

so how do we do with gut attacks well i

have found that when people go off

carbohydrates sugars especially fructose

high fructose corn syrup

alcohol especially beer

just that change alone

handles a lot of problems with gout but

there are still people that do that and

they still have gut attacks

so what can be done

well we do know this one fact about gout

in order for uric acid crystals to form

okay

so your immune system can react to it

your ph

has to be

more on the acidic side we know that so

based on that data

if you were to alkalize the body just a

little bit and i’m talking about urine

alkalization therapy

that can give you some immediate relief

so if we combine that

with the ketogenic diet which is low

carb as well as intermittent fasting i

think

you’ll be in really good shape so what

is the best remedy to alkalize the urine

sodium bicarbonate would be the primary

thing that would give you the least

amount of side effects

and i’m talking about baking soda now

before i tell you how to take it some

people are sodium sensitive

they’re on a certain low sodium diet

because of high blood pressure whatever

if that’s your situation

i would recommend using potassium

citrate instead however baking soda will

work a little bit better and of course

baking soda and water doesn’t always

taste that good so

if i were going to take it i would

recommend adding some potassium citrate

now if you wanted a really good

potassium citrate of course i’m going to

recommend my own electrolyte powder

because it’s slightly sweetened and has

a good amount of potassium citrate

so you would add one scoop of that

with the baking soda but you don’t have

to do that you can just use baking soda

alone now as far as the amount of baking

soda i would recommend starting out with

a smaller amount like 1 8 of a teaspoon

in a glass of water about 8 ounces okay

and i would do that for a couple days

and then i would increase that to a

fourth of a teaspoon of baking soda then

i would increase that to a half a

teaspoon of baking soda and depending on

the severity of this gout attack you may

want to try this once twice or

three times a day

on an empty stomach spaced out about an

hour okay so you would take it wait an

hour take another dose wait another hour

take another dose that should pretty

much put your gout attack in remission

now you don’t want to take this with

meals because it’s alkalizing and it can

dilute your hydrochloric acid so taking

an empty stomach at least an hour before

you eat

this is also a good remedy if you have

uric acid kidney stones okay

that’s a little bit different than the

oxalate stones but with other types of

stones you’ll be better off acidifying

the urine

so there’s always this question of

how far you go before you’ve gone too

far because you don’t want to go too far

on the alkaline side and you don’t want

to go too far on the acidic side so i’m

going to put a link down below

for information to determine if you’re

too alkaline okay and then you would

back off if that was the case

now another bit of research i want to

touch on

is using transdermal

sodium bicarbonate so apparently um

there was a study done that took sodium

bicarbonate and put it into a patch okay

where you can put it topically where it

can absorb right into the big toe

and this would avoid

taking it internally

due to the high amounts of sodium yet i

couldn’t seem to find a source where you

can find this transdermal

baking soda so i have nothing to put in

the link on that however

this may work i don’t know you’d have to

test it

but to dissolve baking soda in some

water and then soaking your toe in it

and there’s also some interesting

research that baking soda can increase

your immune system primarily your

macrophages which actually can help

reduce inflammation

as well as baking soda increasing your t

cell so apparently it does affect the

immune system as well and that’s really

what gout is it’s an immune problem this

is why a lot of people use it for

autoimmune conditions because it can

tone down the inflammation now the other

thing you need to know about gout is

that there’s a very very high incidence

of gout

in people with metabolic syndrome this

means that they’re consuming too many

carbs

so usually when someone’s doing the you

know the organ meats or the red meats

and things like that

they’re usually at the same time

consuming beer or carbohydrates so i

really do not believe it’s the meats

that are causing this gout attack at all

in fact a lot of people when they go

carnivore

get rid of their gout but for those

people on the ketogenic diet

from interviewing a lot of people that

are trying to get rid of their gown

they’re doing a great job but usually

they’re adding in

a little bit of the wrong carbohydrates

they’re usually not doing the ketogenic

diet

standardly like i recommend it they’re

sort of doing a ketogenic diet so when

they get on a very strict ketogenic diet

they tend to do much much better but

there’s some key things that you need to

avoid if you have gout okay number one

of course the obvious sugar in all forms

of sugar which also includes

maltodextrin which i just did a video on

the second thing is all the refined

grains and refined carbohydrates okay

and then also when we’re talking about

sugars

there’s one sugar alcohol that can

increase the risk of getting out and

that would be xylitol so if you do have

gout you’d be better off using another

type of sugar alcohol like

erythritol something like that but just

realize if you’re using stevia or monk

fruit many times

they add in maltodextrin which is a very

bad corn sugar that i would recommend

avoiding especially if you have gout now

of course alcohol and especially beer

can increase your risk of getting out

and even medications like aspirin

like diuretics

can increase the risk of gout the worst

sugar for gout would be fructose

and even certain vitamins like niacin

can trigger gout attacks so niacin is

really good for

helping someone with cholesterol

problems i mean it’s it’s been totally

scientifically proven to do that but if

you have gout

taking another form of b3 would be much

better and that would be niacinamide

okay that’s the

version of niacin that doesn’t give you

the flush

so

niacinamide will help you with gout and

arthritis

but not necessarily cholesterol but if

you don’t have gut attacks you’d be

better off taking niacin now that you

have that information i want to share a

related video that i think you’ll find

very interesting

on sodium i put it right here check it
