Hi Dave,
I did check out the Body for Life workout but I didn't see anything specific for the hands unless it is included through default when using weights. I'm interested in what you do hors controle specifically since you said you've developed a compressed version of the workout.
And yes, I have watched the video "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" which inspired me to start juicing. (And no, I'm not fat, more on the thinner side.) For the last few years I had terrible stomach pain. I used a lot of antacids, had a scope done, they found nothing, put me on nexium, the nexium was ineffective, bla, bla, bla. Finally, I found out that cabbage juice had natural healing properties. I drank four cups of cabbage juice per day for about a week and ta da, no more issues with my stomach. Guess I should have remembered that earlier for rcguy. Now I drink a combination of veggies sweetened with apple (as cabbage is kinda vile on its own) juiced a couple of times a week for insurance. Never want to go back to that pain again. Didn't really connect the dots that it was contributing to my joint health.
BTW, alcohol, according to nutritiondata.com is not a contributory factor to inflammation...milk, yes, juice yes, but not alcohol. However, alcohol does impair, among other things, your bodies ability to utilize nutrients which is one of the reasons doctors tell you to abstain or moderate.
