My Grandmother swears by this recipe as she suffers badly from RA. She is allergic to almost all medicine.  She is from the Appalachian Mountains & believes in Home remedies.
1- Pint of gin
1- Large Box Golden Raisins
  Soak them in a container . Store in a screw on container . Stir them up when you open container to keep them all moist. Eat 9 Raisins a day. She told me it may take a week or so before you really notice ...She has had no pain for well over 2 months after eating raisins everyday.
 I have not tried this but plan to as I have alot of pain in my hands and problems with them locking  when I may a fist.
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!
