Gin-soaked Raisin Arthritis Remedy
1 pound golden raisins
1 pint gin
Spread the golden raisins evenly on the bottom of a glass bowl and pour enough gin over the raisins to completely cover them. Let them stay that way until all the gin is absorbed by the raisins. It takes about five to seven days, depending on the humidity in your area. (You may want to lightly cover the bowl with a paper towel so dust or flying insects dont drop in.)
To make sure that all of the raisins get their fair share of the gin, occasionally use a spoon and bring the bottom layer of raisins to the top of the bowl, letting the raisins that were on top settle to the bottom of the bowl.
As soon as the raisins are plump as can be and cant absorb any more gin (even if theres still a little gin left on the bottom of the bowl), transfer the raisins to a glass jar, put the lid on, and keep it closed. Do not refrigerate.
Each day, eat nine raisins exactly and only nine raisins a day.
Note1: After testing conducted by the Research Triangle Institute for alcohol content, less than one drop of alcohol was left in nine raisins.
Note2: Be sure to check with your health professional to make certain that this remedy will not conflict with medication you may be taking or a specific condition such as iron overload.
Note3: This remedy may not be an adequate substitute for professional medical treatment.
Note4: Some people have dramatic results after eating the raisins for less than a week, while it takes others a month or two to get results. There are some people for whom this remedy does nothing.
