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 chole
