Baking Soda And Gout

Baking soda and gout.
To start to use Baking soda as a remedy or quick fix for gout you MUST get a doctors approval.
The pain and the stress caused by gout attacks can significantly raise the blood pressure -- up to 210/110 in some people . If you have high blood pressure, I suggest that you do not take baking soda because it can cause the body to retain extra water to increase the blood pressure. Moreover people with heart, kidney, and liver disease, and appendicitis should not try it. You may find the following helpful to your gout.
The general rules of using Baking Soda is:
1. Half a flat teaspoon of baking soda / powder in a glass of water before going to sleep and first thing when one gets up in the morning.
2. Then 2 more times during the day an hour either side of lunch and then again at night. Maximum is 4 teaspoons a day.
3. Baking Soda can raise the blood pressure of a sufferer and also their salt levels.
(a) Make sure you reduce salt intake when using Baking Soda for Gout.
4. Baking Soda increases the blood and body fluids Ph levels which then makes Uric acid more soluble, which in turn makes it easier to flush out of the kidneys.
The Dangers of Baking Soda and Gout:
A teaspoon of Baking Soda contains between 1100 and 1300 mg of Sodium.
That is a large amount , sodium is required by the body for regulation of blood and body fluids , the transmission of nerve impulses, metabolic functions, and heart activity. But if taken in large amounts it can have devastating effects.
If it works to raise your pH levels, and/or if your blood and urine uric acids levels fall, you’ll probably avoid restricting those foods which are more acidic. But if this doesn’t happen you may have to restrict acid foods, eat more alkaline foods, or focus on another remedy.
Sodium is a caustic poison, a person taking baking soda must reduce their salt intake. If you suffer from medical problems such as liver or kidney diseases, intestinal bleeding , heart disease, hypertension, have problems urinatng, or have toxemia of pregnancy ( a type of high blood pressure during pregnancy ) then stop taking the Baking soda immediately.
There are also side effects from Baking Soda such as, the urge to urinate, the loss of appetite, headaches, mood changes, muscle pain and twitches, weakness, tiredness, or nausea and vomiting.
So make sure you check with your Doctor / Health practitioner first before commencing this quick fix remedy for Gout.
