Grape Juice, Anyone?

Hi,

A few days ago, my neighbor suggested drinking grape juice mixed with liquid Certo (used in canning). I smiled sweetly when she told me this, thinking she was nuts. Later, I did an online search, and I was surprised by how many sites mention this combination for both lowering cholesterol and easing RA pain.

Has anyone tried this? Does this have any effect what so ever? I have added wild Alaskan salmon oil capsules to my diet. My RA has been fairly good for the past day, EXCEPT when I type, which makes my carpal tunnel go nuts. Sheesh.

I do have GERD and am trying to wean (again!) myself off omeprazole because of its interaction with methotrexate. If you have tried it, is the white grape juice less acidic, and does it help at all?

I read on one site that the liquid Certo is actually not good for you. Better to buy the preservative free powdered kind from health food stores.

Arthritis Today touts apples. Too bad Red Delicious have highest antioxidants. I do not find them tasty.

This reminds me of the dark cherry juice remedies as well and yes I have tried both and no neither worked for me. Might work for others though so I try not to be too down on them.

Turmeric and Ginger are natural anti- inflammatories also. I have all 3 in capsule form.
