How To Neutralize The Uric Acid That Causes Gout? (Part 1)

[ghaffasa]

It's not a reduction in body pH that causes the symptoms of gout you idiot. The only thing you achieve by drinking high pH water is a neutralization of your stomach acid, generating even more water.

How can this kind of ignorance persist with wikipedia 1 click away?

as you said a little acidic water is added to the alkaline water it will change the alkaline water into acidic, so it means your therapy is useless

@goodstuffohyeah The problem with distilled water is that it is TOO pure for long term consumption. It can dilute uric acid, but it also flushes away the alkalizing minerals in your body. To treat the gout pain you are having now, you need to go to see to doctor and get some colchicine or pain killer for that. But to minimize the possibility of future gout attacks, it's better to invest in a good unit alkaline water ionizer.

What about drink mixes like Crystal Light? Would that not be wise to drink either?

[fetymann]

@Xp3erynce Two of Crystal Light's ingredients -- aspartame and acesulfame potassium -- have been linked with a risk of cancer, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Aspartame might also lead to neurological concerns. CSPI recommends caution with colorings Red 40 and Blue 1 found in Crystal Light, as they can cause allergies. The Center warns to avoid colorings Yellow 5, which has a risk of cancer, and Yellow 6, which has a risk of tumors.
