An old timer electrician here whose income is dependent on 
his hands had arthritis so bad he almost had to give up 
his business. His hands would swell and he couldn't crawl 
around anymore. He had exhausted his pharmaceutical 
possibilities. Another old timer friend told him he had 
completely gotten rid of his by soaking raisins in gin 
(there was a certain brand recommended) and eating 9 
raisins each day. The electrician finally broke down and 
tried it and told me his arthritis went away after a month 
of eating them, and he'd been taking them for six months 
and had no further problem. His doctor was amazed. This 
guy is really a normal good 'ol boy, so I have no reason 
to doubt him. I am starting to get a little in my hands so 
I thought I might try it. Sounds like the alcohol may be 
helping to release some chemical in the fruit. I'm 
allergic to shellfish, so I could never take glucosamine 
or chondroitin anyway.--Sage
