Which fruits and vegetable juices help alleviate arthritis pain without surgery or drugs:

A natural supplement that works with alleviate inflammation in the joints is glucosamine. This is only part of want your body needs for overcoming arthritis.
Black cherry juice (four ounces diluted with four ounces of water) twice a day help relieve the pain symptoms.
Fruits and vegetables that are high in beta-carotene such as, parsley, broccoli, spinach. Carrots, apples, and ginger all contain copper. Also drinking pineapple juice, since it is the only source of the strong anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain. Bromelain helps the body breakdown proteins.

Natural Remedies:
Dilute 5 drops of Ginger essential oil in 20 drops of carrier oil, such as wheat germ oil or almond oil, and massage into the painful areas.

I have heard that gin and golden raisins help.
Put 3 shot glasses or small containers not he counter. In each glass put 9-10 golden raisins and pour enough gin to barley cover the raisins. Let sit for 3 days, the gin should absorb into the raisins. Eat the raisins from one shot glass, and set the glass up again with 9-10 more golden raisins and enough gin to cover them. Put glass at the end of the line. Each day, eat the 9 oldest raisins, then set it up again. Repeat until pain-free, I have heard usually within 72 hours.
If you like drinking tea, alfalfa is rich in nutritive minerals. Place 1 ounce of herbs in a pot and cover with 1 quart of water. Let it boil for 30 min and strain and drink throughout the day.

Vitamins that are also helpful are:
Vitamin A (contains beta-carotene) has antioxidant effect on the cells, neutralizing destructive molecules called free radicals.
Vitamins C, B6, and E, and well as Zinc, help enhance collagen production and the repair of connective tissue.

Fatty acids in flax seed oil, fish oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil, and black current seed oil help increase the production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Take 500-1000 milligrams of these oils twice daily. It could take a few weeks to notice an improvement.

Magangese: many people with arthritis are deficient in this trace element enzyme. This is necessary for normal skeletal development. Take 5 milligrams twice daily for one month.

Foods to avoid are nightshade vegetables which are potatoes, eggplant, peppers (although direct application of peppers on the joints is helpful), and tomatoes. These vegetables all contain an alkaloid called solanine, which have a negative effect on calcium balance, which can even cause headaches.
