There's a weekly public radio program called The People's Pharmacy, hosted by Joe (a pharmacologist)
and Terry (medical anthropologist) Graedon. They also write a weekly syndicated newspaper column.

I've been hearing them talk about the gin-soaked raisins (really) remedy. Here's the link to their
website and the specific page, and you can read other reader's comments about this "recipe".

We have received more mail about this "raisin remedy" than any other home remedy we have written about.
We don't know how it got started or why it works, but many readers swear it relieves arthritis pain.

Ingredients: golden raisins and gin.

Empty the raisins into a bowl and pour in just enough gin to cover the raisins. Allow the gin to evaporate
(about one week) and then place the moist raisins in a jar with a lid.

Eat nine raisins a day. They go well on cereal.


Would love to know if this helps you, Tony!
