Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg

takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Today I want to talk about neutralizing uric acid and some of the conflicting information

that revolves around that topic.

Uric acid is formed when it's trying to break down purine, which is another compound found

in foods, mainly in organ meats and meats, but it's in certain vegetables as well.

Uric acid can also act as an antioxidant in your body, and that's one of the reasons

why it might elevate when you're doing fasting as a way to enhance your immune system.

Now, when the pH of your urine becomes too acidic, this uric acid can leak out.

Into the joints and cause gout.

It can leak into the kidneys and cause uric acid kidney stones.

So what is the solution?

One thing you can do is you can alkalize your body.

You can do that with the tassum citrate, which is alkaline.

You can do that by consuming more alkaline vegetables.

You can also consume baking soda.

You can also consume some other alkaline minerals like magnesium and calcium.

As soon as this pH starts going up a little bit, you'll notice that your symptoms for gout,

for example, will go away.

Now, this is where the confusion comes in, because apple cider vinegar seems to be very

good to help neutralize uric acid, but this is an acid, so it's a little confusing.

But this is just an exception to the rule.
