Re: Have any of you tried the raisin and gin diet?

[Guest guest]

I’m

very interested in hearing how it works.

I wonder if the raisins are gin sour or have a sweetness to them. Sounds pretty painless. I wonder if gin makers have websites

with info on this.

There was an

article on our local news the other night about it, and

alot of people

were saying it had helped with their RA. They didn't

give out the

recipe, but I thought I would try it anyway just to see.

I went to the

liquer store to buy the gin, and the cashier there had

heard of the

mixture, and gave me the recipe for it. I forgot to get

the raisins

though, so I can't mix it up till tomorrow. If anybody

has already

tried it, please let me know if it helped, and if you

want to try it,

here's the recipe:

I pint cheap gin

I box white

raisins

Mix together and

put in refridgerator. Stir daily for 10 days, then

eat 9 raisins

per day.

It takes about

2-3 weeks to notice any difference. It's something

about what's in

the gin and what's in white raisins that when mixed

together it is

like a medicine that doctors cannot perscribe. One

doctor on the

news show I watched said it was better than any

medicine he

could perscribe for the RA.

I'll let you all

know what happens if someone else doesn't post first

to tell if they

tried it.

Thank

you for bringing this up. I told

my husband about it and he said his dad told him about it 15 years ago, but

couldn’t find white raisins so gave up.

One recipe I’ve seen tonight says golden raisins are fine and so are

dice dried apricots.

It takes about 2-3 weeks to notice any

difference. It's something

If it doesn't make you better, it might make you happier!
