Re: To the council: T, N, V, Neo, Grz & DQuixote:

Like all things...reducing this to acid/alkaline is much too
simple. It does play a part, but is not the total answer.
IMHO...this is not a kidney failure...Kidney problems are a RESULT of the issue...not the cause.
Look into the notion that the body may be creating uric acid as an antioxidant....and then ask yourself why VIT C reduces the risk of uric problems...think about body wisdom.

Poor digestion may be part of the issue...I think the problem is not deserving of a one answer solution. One needs a full body analysis to understand gout. A liver panel showing how its detox capabilities are working is a start as would a stomach acid test.Breaking down and utilizing protein
is part of the solution, but there seems to be a range of
ways this problem can occur.One size does not fit all...

I did have the start of gout and did have kidney stones...I cured them with magnesium, potassium citrate and gallons of water...extreme pain is a great motivator. Tweet
