Vinegar is a weak acid (Acetic Acid, HC2H3O2).\nAmmonia [and/or Ammonium Hydroxide] is a weak base (NH3 + H2O --> NH4OH).\n\nBy "weak", I am not refering to the reactivity of the substances, but rather the amount the substances will dissassociate into ions in solution.  A weak acid/base will not dissassociate completely into ions in solution as would a "Strong" acid/base would.\n\nWhen you react an acid and base together, you get a neutralization reaction which produces water and a salt.\nIn the case of Ammonia and vinegar, the salt you would producce is Ammonium Acetate (NH4C2H3O2).

Acetic acid is in about a 4-5% concentration in vinegar. It dissolves out the calcium in the bone, leaving the collagen and thus making it soft.

The diet part is not what hurts your bones,it is the phosphorous--at least health food people say it leeches the calcium out of your bones and then your bones get porous and brittle and break easy.  But before the bones get brittle the blood does not carry enough calcium (which later drops in to replace bone calcium) and the blood flow through muscles does not move so well and causes cramps.\n\nNow about the diet part.  When my mom was in her sixties we noticed she was starting to lose her short term memory.  When she stopped drinking diet pop she never had any more problem with short term memory that was any different than our regular business

Raw calcium compounds in your skelatal structure would have you collapsed on the ground writhing in horrible pain.  The calcium in your skelatal structure has reacted with various other compounds (normally phosphate) that take away its reactive nature and help it to be fully synthesised into the body.  But to answer your question there are calcium atoms in your skeleton - just not molecules.

Now let's see if i can help.\nThere are many effective alternatives for this condition so be patient.\nThis condition is an erosion of a cartilage of a joint.The aged sometimes suffer from a dimished supply of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which is necessary for normal calcium metabolism. An effective substitute is 2 teaspoons of cider vinegar in a glass of water sipped before or during meals.\nAlternatives are: Black Cohosh and Meadowsweet(natural sources of salicylic acid) Hawthorn for blood circulation or Devils claw.\nCelery seeds = 1 tsp to one cup of boiling water, infuse for 15 mins. Half to one cup 2-3 times a day,before meals.\nDiet: Oily fish,low fat, low salt,high fibre.Avoid lemons and other citrus fruits.\nCod liver oil is very good for cartilage repair.Hot and cold compresses twice daily.Capsicum cream. Hot epsom salt baths twice weekly.\nThe list is endless, but your GP won't give you any information like this.They like to dish out painkillers instead.\nSuppliments: Pantothenic acid, 10mg of Vitimin A = 7500iu \nVitimin B6 25mg, Vitimin E 400iu: Zinc 25mg\nI can also give you recipes for aromatherapy oils but it's much to long for this page.\nIf you need any more information please contact me by e-mail 'alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk or tele 01843 588668.I'm always here.\n\nGloria j Jones )BSYA-SEN)

No, there isn't any clinical evidence showing improvement of gout after drinking vinegar and water.  Many websites and folk remedies suggest that vinegar would make your blood "alkaline" to prevent gout, but the science behind this theory is very weak. \n \nThe swelling and painful joints characterized in gout are due to little uric acid crystals in your joints.  These uric acid crystals form when your body breaks down too much purine nucleotides.  (Purine nucleotides are the ATP and GTP in a cell's DNA.)  If you eat foods that are high in purine nucleotides (ie: alcohol - especially red wine, red meat, organ meats such as liver, and oily fish such as salmon), your body will have to digest the purine nucleotides in these foods, and as it digests them, it will form uric acid. \n \nWhen there's not much uric acid and the blood pH is normal (around pH 7), uric acid usually stays dissolved in the blood, and our body can get rid of it by excreting it in the urine.\n \nHowever, when there's too much uric acid (either by eating too much alcohol and meat, or if our body lacks a certain enzyme that helps recycle these purine nucleotides), the uric acid will start to form crystals.   \n \nAnother factor in the formation of uric acid crystals is the pH.  Uric acid will form crystals when the pH is below pH 5.8.  Usually, our blood pH does not become so low, unless the person can't control his diabetes, or is on a strict protein diet.  But usually, if our kidneys are functioning normally, our blood pH rarely goes below pH 6.8, even if we drink/eat acidic foods with pH below pH 7 (ie: oranges, lemons, vinegar).  So in a person with healthy kidneys, blood pH is not usually the cause of uric acid crystal formation, and drinking vinegar would not make a difference on the gout. \n \nAlso, vinegar is not an alkaline drink like so many websites say.  The definition of "alkaline" is when the liquid has a pH above pH 7.  The pH range of vinegar is somewhere between pH 3 to pH 6, depending on how much water you add to the vinegar.   So vinegar is not alkaline, it is really ACIDIC.  And since the pH of vinegar is below pH 5.8, it would actually cause uric acid crystals to form, worsening gout.\n \nIn a nutshell, there's no proof that vinegar will stop gout.  Theoretically, vinegar would not have any affect on gout, and if it did, it would actually WORSEN gout rather than stop the gout.\n\nBelow is some more information about treating gout:\nhttp://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/cache/1536819218.htm\n\nBasically, avcid alcohol, organ meats, and oily fish.  And drink lots of water.  Vinegar is harmless, but it will not help gout.\n\nHope this helps, and be sure to talk with your doctor!
