I read in the paper about soaking golden raisins in gin until the gin is absorbed. Then eat 9 raisins a day. My husband and I had both been experiencing some arthritis pain particularly with the colder weather. We have been eating our 9 raisins a day for about a month and it works. The newspaper article said they didn't know why it works and they didn't know the reason for the number, but there is a lot of evidence from sufferers that it is effective. I think you can goggle it and read more info. Good luck.
