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.
Now...I love this idea. I drink one mixed drink a night...gin mixed with ginger ale. I have used tonic water but prefer the ginger ale. Anyway...I have osteoarthritis in my wrists...have had it since I was in my 40's from years of typing at work so I'll give this a try. I'll have to check and see if we have any raisins.
