Re: Raisins soaked in gin for arthritis.

An email newsletter from Dr Al Sears:

I'll have to test this on my mother!

"I found out about the Wilen Sisters through their publisher. He knew about my own research into food cures and passed along their amazing story. I have to say I’m impressed. Their strategies are simple and practical. And they work.

Here’s one you can try right now. It’s the “gin-soaked raisin cure” for arthritis.


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 them to completely cover. Let them stay that way until all the gin is absorbed. Occasionally stir the mixture to make sure all the raisins are covered. It may take 5 to 7 days.

When the gin is absorbed, transfer the raisins to the jar, put the lid on and keep it closed. Do not refrigerate. Dosage: Each day, eat nine raisins – exactly and only nine raisins a day.

In case you’re wondering, there’s almost no alcohol in the raisins by the time you start eating them. A pharmacologist who tested the remedy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, confirmed this.

The Wilen Sisters demonstrate the raisin remedy on TV and get great feedback. One lady who tried it had constant pain and no mobility in her neck. Two weeks after trying the gin-soaked raisins she wrote a letter to the sisters reporting no pain with complete mobility.

In their book, “Secret Food Cures” the Wilen Sisters give you 1,714 more remedies for fixing, arthritis, sore throats, memory problems and hundreds more."
