Cayenne pepper and just a few questions

February 17, 2011

I have been taking cayenne pepper pills along with meals and it seems to have

helped my digestion. I think they are about 500 mg and I try to take them right

before the meal or in the middle. I tried to buy the HCL yesterday but GNC

didn't sell it. I was wondering of I could finish off my bottle of cayenne

pepper and then start the HCL when I am done. Does cayenne have any negative

side effects? I also bought liquid Norwegian cod liver oil and was wondering

how many teaspoons I should take a day and at what time. Here are the

ingredients

Vitamin A 460 IU

Vitamin D 460 IU

EPA 449 mg

DHA 412 mg

Also for the past two days I took about 10 tablespoons of coconut oil and got

pretty intense healing reactions (which I like when I don't have anything to do

because I know I am healing even though it feels bad.) I was wondering is it

okay to do that often?

+++Hi Celeste. GNC isn't the best source of good supplements.

I was wondering of I could finish off my bottle of cayenne pepper and then start

the HCL when I am done. Does cayenne have any negative side effects?

+++If you are doing okay having cayenne pepper you could finish them off. What

kind of digestive problems were you having?

I also bought liquid Norwegian cod liver oil and was wondering how many

teaspoons I should take a day and at what time. Here are the ingredients

+++You need these amounts daily:

Vitamin A: 20,000 IU - 30,000 IU

Vitamin D: 800 IU - 1,200 IU

Omega-3: 2,000 mg - 3,000 mg [EPA plus DHA]

So you can see that you'd need a little more about 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) to

get enough Omega-3, however that means you aren't getting enough A & D, so you

need to buy another product that contains vitamin A & D, which is available in a

fish " liver " oil capsule, i.e. from halibut, cod or shark.

+++Wow, that's too much coconut oil, which is a waste of money. Also your body

throws off excess coconut oil it can't use.

+++When you take more than is necessary it can overwhelm your body too which can

stop or slow the healing processes. Pushing your body doesn't speed up healing

at all since it will still take 1 month for every year, so why suffer?

All the best, Bee

Hi Celeste,

I had an idea for you for introducing eggs slowly without wasting a whole egg

every time. Try making mayonnaise and/or caesar salad dressing. Both of them

contain egg, but you wouldn't eat the entire recipe at one sitting. It would be

hard to judge accurately just how much egg you'd be getting, but it would be a

start.

With the mayonnaise, you could make chicken or tuna salad. It is also nice over

cooked veggies. I especially like it with tarragon! You don't necessarily have

to have caesar dressing with salad if raw veggies bother your stomach. I eat

caesar salad dressing as a dip or cold sauce with chicken, steak and ground

meat.

Bee has recipes for both of them on her website.

Dear Celeste,

It is difficult to read your message since there are no breaks in your

paragraphs. So would you mind re-posting it and put a line between your

paragraphs, and also make it easier to find your questions.

Thanks, Bee
