When you're suffering the agonies of gout you need fast pain relief. And one of the fastest ways is through a common ingredient that you probably already have at home, sitting in a kitchen cupboard. Here, you'll discover what this is and how it can relieve your gout pain fast.
But before I let you into the secret, let's go over the cause of gout so that you better understand how this ordinary ingredient can give you fast pain relief...

Your gout is caused by urate crystals that form in your joints out of high uric acid levels in your bloodstream. These are needle-like in shape and so trigger the inflammation, redness, swelling, heat, stiffness and, of course, the excruciating pain of a gout attack.
O.K. so what's the magic ingredient that can give you the fast gout pain relief you desperately need? It's... baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)!
Baking soda is a very beneficial remedy for gout sufferers. Not only can it help reduce your pain fast, it can also enhance the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which are very commonly prescribed by doctors for gout.
Here are the benefits of using baking soda to help gain fast gout pain relief...
1. Improves uric acid solubility so it's easier for your body to flush the acid out of your system.
2. Helps to dissolve uric acid crystals and so limits you gout pain.
3. Maximises your body fluid volume to help your kidneys excrete excess uric acid better.
And this is how to take the baking soda remedy...
Add 1/2 teaspoon to 8 ounces of water in a glass. Mix thoroughly until dissolved. Drink a glass before bedtime. Drink another glass on getting up in the morning. Then drink a glass every 2 to 4 hours between meals during the day. Repeat until your symptoms have abated.
Note: Because baking soda is so high in sodium, don't take more than 4 teaspoons in any 24 hour period. And, change to a salt-free or low sodium diet whilst taking the remedy.
And, very important, if you suffer from high blood pressure talk to your doctor first. In fact, as with all suggested home remedies, you should consult your doctor about the suitability of this remedy for you.
Many gout sufferers have reported significant relief within 2 hours, but everyone is different so you might not, but you should experience pretty fast results nevertheless.
But of course baking soda is no long term solution, you can only use it during an attack. Prevention is always better than cure. And this is particularly true of gout, since repeated painful gout attacks can result in you having serious long term issues like permanent joint damage and kidney problems.
You're in luck though. There's a special gout report available online [see below] that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains more on the 2 hour gout pain relief program.
And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.
