Q. I have arthritis in my hands and my back. I heard that gin-soaked raisins would help the pain.
Is that true, and if so, what is the recipe and the dose?
A. The only way to know if gin-soaked raisins will work for you is to try them. Individuals will respond in varied ways to home remedies.
In a shallow pan, barely cover golden raisins with gin. Let them sit until the gin has evaporated. Then eat 9 raisins a day. It may take a few weeks to see results. Here is one testimonial:
“I have had rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in my knees for years, and it was difficult to get up out of a chair or sofa. After one month on gin and golden raisins, I am completely free of knee pain, though it has not relieved my spinal stenosis.”
Nearly a year later, the same person reported, “I am still on the raisins and love them. Not only did gin-soaked raisins rid my knees of RA, but now the RA is also gone from my left shoulder. This is amazing, and my doctors are interested.”
