I had this problem with gout. It started end of last year.
And I had seen so many doctors and 2 specialist in sunway medical.
No cure for my gout. They even injected my big toe with steriod. Still the problem came back after 2 months.

And I started searching the Internet for alternative. And I found this BAKING SODA can be a cure.
I bought a pure baking soda. Brand arm and hammer. And I started to drink with max dosage for a day. On the second day. I started to feel better.. And I kept on drinking for 2 weeks and I can say I can walk like usual now. No more pain and swollen toe.

Thanks God I found this and I hope I can help someone with this problem.
