It is a metabolic waste that the kidneys normally eliminate. If you have too much uric acid and the kidneys cannot keep up with eliminating it then you will end up with gout or other joint and/or muscle problems. On the other hand even if you don't eat a lot of meat and your kidneys are not functioning properly then you may not be getting rid of the uric acid that is building up. This can lead to much the same problems. Yes too much sugar can lead to this problem as well as many others. Sugar will dehydrate you. It will ruin your kidneys. This is why some diabetics need dialysis. Once the kidneys quit you are pretty much done for. If you are dehydrated you will not urinate, hence you will not excrete uric acid. Eating too much sugar also puts major stress on your pancreas and can send you to the land of diabetes (not fun). An overworked pancreas produces too little insulin to counter the sugar and now you have very high blood sugar. Your best bet is to cut out the sugar and do a kidney/bladder cleanse to get them functioning properly again. Then stay off the sugar as it is nothing but a very sweet poison that will kill. This is one addiction that is quite tough to kick for sure. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Only your husband can change himself but he has to honestly want to change. Same goes for you. You have to honestly want to change and then take the necessary steps to do so. It may or may not be easy, all depends on how you wish to view it. But the choice is yours for yourself only. You cannot decide for your DH. Taking baking soda for it is going to cause kidney problems and what you need to do is get your kidneys functioning properly again. In the files there should be a kidney/bladder cleanse recipe/formula that will help you in doing just this. After cleansing though, you will want to keep them functioning properly, which means not going back to eating lots of sweets. If you have any problems finding the formula just let us know and we will help you. Peace be with you Rica. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
