--Better Digestion--Question about gout...

Hello everyone,
I'm new to posting but I've been reading this forum for a while now and have been taking the Alkalyzing drink for about 2 months to help with my problem of gout. I started out slow with the drink and gradually upped my pickling lime water to 6 tbs. I don't have a refractometer yet but have been doing my best to eat a diet of high alkalynity/low acidity. I've not had any form of caffein for at least 6 months. I cut out any protein within 4 to 6 hours of going to bed. And I've tried to not eat any foods that didn't seem entirely ripe so as to avoid the problem of NPN. Not easy to do without a refractometer so have had to rely on looks and taste of foods. I've been diligent about taking a small pinch of ES with meals and with the A. drink. I don't have a bathtub but have tried the footsoaks with ES and pickling water. In the 2 months I have had much better digestion (no sense of bloat/gas and good BMs 2x a day with no loose stools). I am very thankful for these changes.

The last few days, though, I've had a very bad attack of gout in the left foot. Ordinarily, I would start taking either ibuprofen or indomethicin...both vile IMO. This time I tried for 3 days without but today had to take ibuprofen for some pain relief just to be able to hobble around without yelling in pain.

The idea that ALL disease is caused by too much acidity in the body makes perfect sense to me. I've always felt that there had to be some solution to this gout thing other than taking medication. I'm not sure if this gout attack was brought on by a too rapid release of acids (which seems like healing but too painful) or not using enough of the pickling water in the drink. If anyone has any suggestions they are most welcome.

Moreless, thank you for your tireless work to help others. I know it can not be easy to repeat yourself so I've tried to do some searches and learn from others' experiences. You mentioned you had a friend with gout and helped himself by not eating foods with too much funny protein or NPN. I live in Mexico and have a hard time getting supplies so maybe once I can get the refractometer it will help with the problem of gout. BTW, other than this attack I do feel great and am very thankful for not having other health issues. Thank you. Tweet
