Just awhile ago I saw this article. Never tried it myself. Hope there will be someone who knows more bout it.

The Amazing Gin-Soaked Raisin Remedy for Arthritis >>> http://bottomlinepersonal.com/household-magic/the-amazing-gin-soaked-raisin-remedy-for-arthritis/#at_pco=smlre-1.0&at_si=567b700cd5905f60&at_ab=per-3&at_pos=2&at_tot=4

Recipe:

1 lb golden raisins

Gin (approximately 1 pint)

Glass bowl (Pyrex is good—crystal is bad)

Glass jar with lid

Spread the golden raisins evenly on the bottom of the 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 that dust or insects don’t drop in.) To make sure that all of the raisins get their fair share of the gin, occasionally take a spoon and stir the mixture, bringing the bottom layer of raisins to the top of the bowl.

As soon as all the gin has been absorbed, transfer the raisins to the jar, put the lid on and keep it closed. Do not refrigerate. Each day, eat nine raisins—exactly and only nine raisins a day. Most people eat them in the morning with breakfast.

The Research Triangle Institute (RTI.org) tested “The Amazing Gin-Soaked Raisin Remedy” for alcohol content. The result: Less than one drop of alcohol was left in nine raisins. So when people who take the raisins are feeling no pain, it’s not because they’re drunk—it’s because the remedy works.

Even so, be sure to check with your health professional to make sure that gin-soaked raisins will not conflict with any medication you may be taking or present a problem for any health challenge you may have, particularly an iron-overload condition. Also, do not give the gin-soaked raisins to children or women who are pregnant or nursing.
