Dr. Oz recommended this to Joan Rivers several years back on his show for her knee pain.  Supposedly a home remedy with some merit.  


 

 

@Laura14  For knee pain, I use Andrew Lessman's Glucosamine/Chrondroitin, and no pain any longer, but I still take it every morning.

@SXMGirl  I buy the tiny bottles.  Doesn't take much to soak the golden rasins.  It is a wonderful alternative to drugs.  Like I said, i put it over vanila ice cream.  Good luck.

@Fiero Woman, thank you.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@mousiegirl  With my medication I can't take what you recommend.  My doctor ok's the golden rasins soaked in gin.  My goodness, you can add it to ice cream or a smothie.  It isn't about the alcohol but the mixture that creates what works.

I will not argue but just gave my experience with the mixture.  I avoid drugs if possible. I have an artificiial shoulder from my shoulder to my elbow.  Covered in my skin, strange to even say that..  I do have use of my arm but this mixture has served me well and helped me function. Not perfect but I function and am thankful.  I could have any drug I want but I use this simple mixture.  Takes about 3 weeks to begin working.

@Fiero Woman  I didn't recommend, I said that I prefer rum.  I don't use the method of gin and raisins, I use glucosamine/chrondroitin. Smiley Happy

It might help. But I doubt if it is a cure.
