My dad has had arthritis in his hands for as long as I can remember. He moved in with us 15 yrs ago and it flared up bad. Said he could not do anything or move boxes and could not take it. He was 65 at that time and does not like taking pills. He came home with a recipe that said “drunken raisins.” Said he got it from a woman at church that used to have bad arthritis. He took Gin and yellow raisins and let them soak for two weeks in a dish with a cloth over it. My dad is 80 now and I have not seen or heard him complain about arthritis after he started taking them. He takes a spoonful (about 9) of these everyday. I have seen it first hand and it works.
