October 16, 2004 -- WACKY first lady-wannabe Teresa Heinz Kerry is advising arthritis sufferers to chow down on booze-soaked raisins. "You get some gin and get some white raisins [and] soak them in the gin for two weeks," the multi-millionairess said after a rambling speech on health care in Reno the other day. "Then, eat nine of the raisins a day."
Dr. Steven Phillips, director of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Nevada, supported Heinz Kerry's prescription, noting the sulfur and sulfides found in grapes are increased by the alcohol and could help ease joint pain, the Reno Gazette-Journal reports.

At least she's using the right gin. My sister says this remedy has been around for some time and does not work. Not only that, but it wastes good gin.
Even if she's nuttier than a fruitcake...Tereza is just going with the
folk remedy that was mentioned on The Paul Harvey Show maybe a decade ago.
And they found/paid off a doctor to support her!
this has been around for years except it's for DOGS!!! i guess terry fits that description though...
Then you throw away those pesky raisins and guzzle the gin.

You soak some froot in booze for a few days and then eat the froot and of course you won't feel any pain
Oops bad spelling. That is fruit not froot.
This is the kind of "herbal holistic wellness" people will get when Kerry-style government-rationed health care is in place.
Why wait two weeks? Time's wasting, get rid of your arthritis NOW.
OH...Great! According to Tah-Ray-Za.....I'm supposed to "just go naked " in Hurricaines and eat gin-soaked raisins!
Uh, Tah-ray-za...keep the hurriciane and drunk raisin advice....Give me the advice on how you got out of paying more taxes! Now THAT is advice I could really use!
My former boss, a City Engineer educated at Michigan Technological University, swears by this. He was found to have arthritus (SP?) several years ago and he went on the raisin cure on advice from relatives.
and hes got his mind on her money and her money on his mind
Now we know why they keep Terayza hidden away. She's driving away the woman vote. She says the darndest things when she's all looped up on Gin, which she aparently has a fondness for even withot raisins.
I was waiting for someone to come back with "the line." lol. Good job Dr. Snide.
