Have to take a lot of alkaline based foods to counter the effects of acidity in the body...fresh fruits and veggies, fish oil, vitamin C, celery extract, cherry fruit extract are some examples.

FYI, foods rich in vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) are alkaline forming in the body and helps to counter the effects of gout.

One of the causes of gout are high levels of uric acid in the body fluids.

That article I had previously mentioned was just to inform readers , the benefits of Vitamin C in helping PH levels in the body. Weren't the previous posts by other readers indicating Vitamin C as a beneficial supplements for gout sufferers?

Is everyone in here a doctor or in med school like you ? Or should we indulge ourselves in medical and scientific terms which few of us can understand. On top of that you're inferring that all that information out there which I just referred is not good enough. Well that's fine with me but you don';t have to go around attacking me like I owe you the information that YOU want. C'mon, we're all in here just to share. I'm not a doctor like you or even been in med school, but heck, some people who I know do take the supplements I and others have suggested and works for some of them. Your attitude towards the less informed who wants to share in this website, is nothing less than discouraging.
