Well, now, I might have to try that. It certainly can't hurt and because I do, I might try it, especially since I suffer from osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and advanced spinal stenosis (arthritis in my back). Wish all this rain we've been having would go to Texas and the south where they need it, as it makes my pain worse. I don't need a weather forecaster, I have my knees to tell me the weather is going to change. Thanks for the tip. Will let you know if it works, as I'm not a fan of gin, but I like raisins.

My Mom does this, she takes the raisins and puts them in with her yogurt that she has for breakfast. Don't know if it helps her arthritus much, but she loves those raisins in her yogurt!

I have been eating the raisins soaked in gin for some time now. 9 a day after soaked for a week golden ones and I was not able to walk to our mail box without pain before and I can now, so they helped me. Some one told me that it was an old indian recipe.
