Cherry Juice

My mom heard wonderful things about the benefits of Cherry Juice and debated trying it because it pricey. About $20 a quart. You only use 2 tbsp a day mixed with 8 ox of water though.
She finally bit the bullet and tried it.

She has been drinking her cherry juice now for 6 days (mixing 2 tbsp in 8oz orange juice).
She called me yesterday morning practically screaming that she could walk.
She said she got out of bed, walked to the bathroom and stopped dead in her tracks realizing she wasn't in pain.
It almost scared her. She said every morning she gets out of bed and the first couple steps almost kill her. She's had so much pain in her ankles, and other joints, it's been like that for years. She usually waddles around like a penguin for half hour trying not to bend her ankles, but there was no pain. Same thing this morning, no pain. It said it could take up to 2 weeks for the antioxidants to build up and start working, but it's been a lot sooner for her. I hope it keeps working for her.

Info I found online:

Antioxidants reduce damage done by oxygen and other free radical substances to the cells in our bodies. If left unchecked, these damages (cell death) may cause hardening of our arteries that may result in heart attack, impotence or other chronic diseases.

The ruby-red color of tart cherry gives it the potent antioxidant properties more superior to vitamin C and E.
