Here is supposedly a treatment for arthritis. Put a box of golden raisens in a jar. Fill the jar with gin so the raisens are completely covered at all times. Refrigerate for at least 7 days. Take 6 raisens each day. Sounds good doesn't it.
My husband has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and we have found a way for
him to get out of his lounge chair with much more ease than he was
having. Our son built a wooden platform that is about 3 inches wider
than the bottom of the chair and the chair sits on top of that making it
possible for my husband;s knees to be at a level with his hips. There
thus is not as much to do to try to straighten the legs to get up from
the chair and just pushing on the arm rests allows him to rise without
the tremendous effort he was having beforehand. If anyone else has ALS
and has suggestions to make life easier, we would appreciate hearing
from them. E-mail Phyl Watson - jiphs-pt@gnt.net
