The Wilen Sisters love all the fan mail they get about how their “kitchen cures” book Healing Remedies has changed people’s lives. They especially enjoy hearing about how a cure worked on a so-called “hopeless” case.

That’s why they were so pleased to hear from Ms. Carmen S. of Connecticut, USA. She writes that she spent over a thousand dollars on doctor visits and drugs for the arthritis pain in her neck. But the doctor finally told her to “go home and learn to live with the pain.”

Then she heard about the Wilens’ “amazing gin-soaked raisin remedy.” With nothing to lose, she tried it. As she reports: “I can now turn my head with no pain.” She told four friends and they swear by it as well.

Why does it work? Raisins are packed with many pain-relieving, anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory compounds. The gin may act as a “turbocharger.”

The Body Part

That Wants You To Go Green

Your knees love it when you go green. We don’t mean environmentally green, although they appreciate it when you take the stairs and when you take your bike for a spin instead of the car (strong leg muscles keep your joints healthy). We mean eating green. Filling your meals with this color can go a long way to preventing arthritis. Here’s what to reach for:

Leafy greens. A killer, flavor-filled salad or side dish could mean one less knee replacement surgery in the world. The vitamin K in leafy greens — think cabbage, spinach and Swiss chard, for starters — reduces your risk of joint damage. People who have the highest levels of K are less likely to develop the bone spurs and cartilage damage that are common in osteoarthritis. (A word of caution: If you’re on a blood thinner, check with your doctor about whether K is safe for you.) Leaves just not your thing? No problem. Broccoli and asparagus make tasty alternatives.

Green tea. Potent compounds in green tea — EGCG and ECG — may help battle cartilage and collagen destruction in arthritic joints. The EGCG and ECG found in green tea are powerful flavonoids known as catechins. These particular flavonoids fight inflammation and some of the underlying mechanisms that mess with knees in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Bonus: Sipping it before you do that knee-preserving workout may help you burn fat faster.

Chlorophyl is a powerful antidote for cellular regeneration.

It can be obtained from your local chemist or drug store cheaply.
