Wanted to update y’all about the gin raisins. I had bad pain in my right wrist for about a year & the starting of carpal tunnel. I was slowly losing strength in my grip & hurt it daily doing simple tasks like twisting off lids. I had to wear a wrist brace everyday & even sleep with it on most nights. Well I’ve been eating 10-15 raisins a day for over 8 weeks now & I haven’t had to wear the wrist brace in over 2 and a half weeks! I have the strength back in my wrist & it doesn’t hurt at all!! I will continue taking these daily & btw they are really yummy! Thank you so much Kaylee for introducing me to this awesome remedy! Bless you my friend 💜💪🏼✝️

[@andrewthomas37]

PLEASE READ: Our amish friends told us to scald a burdock leaf, let cool, and put over anywhere that is hurting and let it sit covered in a rag scarf while you do your day. The whole community swears that really helps pain. Also, it was originally used to cover burns on a girl that was burned over 80% of her body and it helped her pain

Here's a question/ idea. Alcohol is not an option for me at this time in my life. Has anyone had any exposure to using the golden raisins and crushed juniper berries in honey? Similar to honey fermented garlic or ginger? I'm not sure a glycerite form would be as effective as I need it, given my chronic pain levels, even with removing refined sugars and grains from my diet. Any thoughts or insights would be super appreciated!

[@lauragreen4899]

This is very interesting. I think there would be different results with different people based on what type of arthritis they have and how extensive and spread the arthritis is in their body. Perhaps those with just beginning arthritis would experience the best results. But it would be very interesting to find someone who has been struggling with arthritis for many, many years and have them. Try it and see what it does to help them.

There isn't any medicinal properties in this mixture for your stiffness. It sounds like a snack before bedtime. All your doing is giving yourself a sweet snack. I don't wanna tell you which remedy will work, but with time you'll figure it out. All you need is heat around it during your sleep figure out which heating element you want but the one that stays and keeps the longer should help it and also rub some castor oil. Eat your ginraisins before lunch and enjoy. Also go back 10 years for a clue , look for old notes. Constructive advice. Let us all know if the pain goes away and if it does don't think it is from ginraisins. You are a fun show . Lol😊

Actually in the Deep South, this has been around a very long time. I have seen jars of these ALL over the south in people’s cupboards and it most definitely works on arthritis.

The answer is emphatically yes and yes.
