Apple Cider vinegar

This may not be for everyone but someone else has to try this and let me know if it is just me....here goes. I have heard for a long time that Apple Cider vinegar and honey is good for arthritis. I tried it years ago but couldnt stand the taste. I have Crohn's and severe arthritis. I stopped Remicade 4 months ago because it quit working and my arthritis has gone nuts. Its in almost every joint.

Yesterday I made a light dinner of baked chicken and baked potato but this time I made another dish Ive never made. Cucumbers and onions made from 1 1/2 cups Braggs apple cider vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup salt and alittle pepper. I was afraid to eat the fresh cucumbers because of my active crohns but the juice was so tasty I sipped it with my meal. sweet, tangy and delicious!!! then I actually drank a bit of it. I woke up this morning and my arthritis is better than its been in months. the swelling in my left hand is gone and my ankle is half the size it was. They have been flaired up bad for well over a month. I am stunned and excited. if this works for you please let me know. I have called my new concoction Witch Juice and I am a believer now!!!!

We had a thread discussion about that quite some time ago....someone mentioned they drink pickle juice for the same reason...something about the vinegar helping, I think. It had to be a specific type of pickle juice as well...... you know, if it doesn't affect your chrons negatively, I say go for it!

One large cucumber and One medium onion. Even if your not trying to reduce swelling anywhere, they are delicious!!

Thanks Tony, will try and make it this weekend.

Nana,
Do you eat all 9 raisins at once, or do you spread them out over the day? I have to ask because I'm a recovered alcoholic, and I wouldn't want to get too much alcohol in my system at one time. I use cough medicine with alcohol sometimes, but have to be very careful with the quantity. Thanks.

Nana,
Thanks for the tip. I'll get a little shooter bottle of gin and some golden raisins tomorrow and give it a try. Since I'm being slowly weaned off the prednisone I'm having more pain, and I'll try anything to relieve it. Thanks again.
