'You get some gin and get some white raisins — and only white raisins — and soak them in the gin for two weeks. Then eat nine of the raisins a day'...

[Lee Heggy]

Yes, and if you cut the tail off of a black cat during a full moon and boil it down to bones rubbing them on your stomach will make you invisible.

Doctor Disapproves Of Raisin Remedy?

We would be horrified if someone drank gin (or any alcoholic beverage) to alleviate arthritis pain. The recipe calls for golden raisins soaked in gin which is then allowed to evaporate.... Story

[Who dat?]

People on my dad’s side of the family always claimed bee stings prevented arthritis. Seriously.

But then they were bee keepers, among other things. I think maybe it could have been something good to justify getting stung.

I always thought it was weird because on TV you’d see people messing with the bees wearing a fancy bee suit. My relatives didn’t have a suit or a special hat either. Never used gloves from what I could tell. Only used that smoke can. Either they were sort of tough or the bees were pretty docile. They always claimed they didn’t get stung very often.

This woman is an HMO's wet dream:

"Yes, Mr. Patterson, we have you MRI back, and unfortunately you have a major aneuhrysm in the brain. The good news, however, is that your group plan will pay for a fifth of 'Jack' to drown your sorrows every other week."

My mother took a glass of vodka every day for her 94 years.

I always wondered about incipient alcoholism, but she never staggered.

Teresa staggers.

Maybe he keeps her stocked with white raisins? ;)

[Bikers4Bush]

What a kook. Can you just imagine how the white house would look with jars all over the place filled with various fruits and booze concoctions?

All remedies for common ailments of course. Not like she's got a drinking problem or aything like that.

[Born Conservative]

I wonder what she has against black raisins?

[Lrabon]

And on page 12 of the New Kerry Health Plan, it states to put a dish of salt under the pillow to relieve a headache. I need a HUGE bowl!

Lest it be misinterpreted, the "!" stands for "exclamation point" to what you wrote.

"Welllll.....TaRAYzah DOES sort of act like a walking gin-soaked raisin...." She looks like one too.

[elli1]

My grandma told me about this remedy a long time ago.

[vikzilla]

Yeah, and if you smear caviar and goat cheese on a quadriplegic he'll "get up, get up out of the chair and walk again

LOL, Also makes a great catfish bait.

[marty60]

HUmmm racist raisens?

[Principled]

It works. Really.

Spoken by a sufferer of seronegative spondyloarthropathy.

When my daughter's babysitter's grandmother told me this, I laughed. Then I tried it at the urging of Mrs. Principled. It works. No lie.

Nevertheless, Tu Raizzz a is an idiot.

[Polyxene]

We now have an alternative to VIOXX! Thanks, Mama T! (Fill-er up!!)

[sharktrager]

I get the feeling she sees gin as good for all that ails you.

[dirtboy]

Maybe she's a raisnist? Or believes in grapepartheid?

[AmericanChef]

-"...and only white raisins..."

Racist!

[new cruelty]

Does this qualify as a SAF ping? Please tell me... I just gots ta know.
