A Cure for Arthritis
This sounds like a load of crap to me. However, it’s interesting to think about. Bill Wundram of The Quad-City Times suggests a cure for arthritis sufferers:
Gin and raisin cure: Too many people say this works for me to pass it off as hokum. It is supposed to ease arthritis, and I have had men and women tell me that before partaking, they couldn’t get up and down the steps, and now they go dancing.
Buy a box of golden raisins and spread them out in a glass (never tin) pie plate. Buy a fifth of cheap gin and pour it onto the raisins. Let the whole works marinate for seven days. The raisins, by now, should have absorbed all the gin. Eat nine of those gin-soaked raisins a day until all are gone. They can be kept in the fridge, or even put on your breakfast cereal.
How can I forget the man who said he couldn’t remember if he should eat the raisins or drink the gin. He said he drank the gin and never felt better in his life!
I wonder what a gin-soaked raisin tastes like. I’m guessing nasty.

A friend of mine told me about the raisin cure some time ago….I laughed when she told me but she said try it before you prejudge it..she had told me about other old time remediesbefore that did work so I gave it a try.but did it along with my Glucosamine..Condroctin and MSM tablets..it did work wonders!! I was walking great and driving my car just fine..then for different reasons I was off of all it for awhile..now can’t walk with out a cane..legs and knees hurt all the time..can’t drive my car anymore…tired of depending on others to do for me so today deciided to take control of my life again and I went and got my golden raisins and gin and my tablets and started back on them again..I believe in time I will be takincare of myself again!! That is my goal and I am 70 years oldand have nothing else wrong with me
