Dorothy, I had heard of this remedy a few years ago, but didn't think any more about it until your note. It is a folk cure for arthritis, and can be used for any form of arthritis, including gout. I think I will skip this one, since gin doesn't like me. Back in my wild 30s when I lived in Memphis, I had gone to a bar one night and had copious amounts of gin (mixed with something). Well, about 4 a.m. the next morning I woke up sprawled out on the hood of my Oldsmobile in the bar's parking lot. I decided to try to get home and guess I made it somehow. The next day I was telling my apartment neighbor about it and I told her I didn't remember driving home. She said, "well, I bet that man in front of you and that man behind you remember you driving home!" I thought that was so hilarious. So I guess cherry juice will hopefully work... Ken
