The ratio is not something I kept a record of but to those who used it, including me, we just follow a simple rule, 1 Lime or Limon juiced, pinch of sea salt, cup full of water and about 1/2 tea spoon of baking Soda, about 5 or 6 times a day till symptoms subside. This is a stop-gap treatment for gout which is very helpful to relieve pain but in the long run, it is better to use OJ and other alkaline methods to solve it because as MH replied, the cause for gout is serious. I had it because I was not sleeping well and to keep myself awake, I indulged in excessive coke intake that caused my Gout. But also, no meat atall and non fat forming foods. For the rest of it I recommend MH protocols. I have decided to order some kidney cleanse tinture from MH today. It some thing that I have not paid much attention.
