I have been in a lot of pain in the past few years. I have been through colon cancer surgery, hernia surgery, and a lot of other medical problems. The worst thing has been the gout, which I can't seem to get rid of. My doctor seems to be scared to prescribe pain meds, because of the doctors that have been proscuted for perscriptions of pain meds. I have had severe pain in dealing with my gout, but my doctor will not perscribe pain meds for more than 3 days at a time. Most times my gout causes extreme pain for at least 3 weeks at a time, but I have to suffer through it because of my doctors fear. I think the next severe bout I have with gout will be my last. I will just have to end it all, and see what there is on the other side.

My aunt was a gout sufferer for years. Normally she would just bear the pain and wait it out. She tried everything. She tried the black cherry juice, but she said the black cherry juice took about 3-4 days of daily use to show any improvement. Someone suggested Apple Cider Vinegar. She usually used approximately 3 tsp vinegar in 8 oz of water and drank it down. Within 2 hours the swelling and redness were going away. She took one more dose prior to bedtime and the next morning it was 80% GONE!!! Another dose in the morning and she was at 90% with normal walking!!! How this stuff worked like it did within 12 hours is beyond my comprehension but she became a believer in Apple Cider Vinegar!!! She is no longer with us now, but I will never forget her swearing by the Apple Cider Vinegar. I would think the vinegar might taste nasty, but have heard that if you'll add just a little bit of honey to it, it is drinkable. I do believe I'd try ANYTHING before I'd go through the pain I watched her endure!!! I hope this is one remedy that you have not tried as yet, but find to be your miracle!!! GOOD LUCK my friend!!!!!!

Do try it. My aunt swore by it. Back then there were NO meds for her to take other than aspirin. She suffered for years until she heard of the vinegar cure. It did help her tremendously!!!
