NevarA Cure for Arthritis Pain? Stay tuned.
November 15th 2007 20:31
I am afflicted (cursed?) with arthritis pain, especially in the knees and fingers. Because of medications I take for other conditions, I cannot take any pain medication other than acetaminophen. The usual anti-inflammatory drugs are also out of the question.
I have not yet tried copper bracelets but this may have been my next try!
The other day I accompanied the Lovely Joan to our family doctor. I really like this guy because he is never in too much of a hurry to discuss and explain.
During the course of the appointment, I remarked that, perhaps because of the weather or some other condition, my arthritic pain was very great. The good doctor said that, while he couldn’t vouch for the efficacy of the treatment, many patients had reported less pain when following the “raisin cure”.
Under this regimen, white raisins (they must be the white ones, although they are really yellow) should be soaked in cheap gin for a minimum of three weeks. Then, nine (exactly nine, not eight or ten) raisins are to be eaten each day.
We bought the raisins today and already had cheap gin! My three weeks will be up December 6th. I will dutifully report the results.
In the meanwhile, does anyone out there have any non-drug suggestions?
