Cayenne Pepper

[Guest guest]

An old folks remedy in the Philippines: Do you know that " Mother's Milk " is a

good remedy when your eyes get into contact with hot pepper? When your eye is

really hurting and you have a nursing mother around, ask for some of her milk

and drop in your eyes...it works...

RE: cayenne pepper

Yes, I have had a few pepper attacks and was doubled over on my bed, drenched

in sweat from having a major body flush. That was from Quinn's 100,000 heat

unit african birdseye cayenne. I always tried to take it halfway through a

meal, in a drink, or sprinkled on my food instead of the capsules.

Dick Quinn walked around with a jug of iced tea mixed with cream and cayenne.

He probably drank 3-4 quarts of that a day. He said the fat in the cream helped

to cut the burn.

One time he made up a mixture of cayenne and olive oil and let it steep for 30

days. He gave that to me for a friend who was African American and had a

problem with psoriasis around hs scalp. Or some other type of skin disorder

that usually affects African Americans. I don't remember. He used this on his

skin and it was gone in about a week. Probably the anti-bacterial action of the

cayenne and God knows what else. Coconut oil might just of helped it as well if

I would of known about in years ago.

I did give coconut oil to my sister and one friend who have been using it

faithfully and have seen a reduction of 80% in their Roseca. Now if I can only

get them to actually start ingesting it.

I have been using cayenne pepper for a while now and it is helping me with an

ulcerative condition and also has helped with gums receding through problem in

my mouth. I cannot take it in a drink or neat. I make cauliflower soup and

lettuce soup and I add cayenne pepper and vco and this has helped me and its not

so bad on the system.

Thanks Bill. I've always found spices like cayenne too hot for my system, so I'm

not sure if it would help me.

We use cayenne daily. Until you get used to it, it can be a little burning.

It is very alkaline and will help to neutralize acidity. It also stimulates

a stronger heartbeat and the peristaltic action of the intestines. Capsules

are fine. You can't really overdose on it. Try to stay with the milder

cayennes though. 50,000 Heat Units or less. The higher ones can be a

little unpredictable as far as having a burning sensation in the stomach.

Even then, they don't harm you, they just feel like they are. You can even

treat bleeding ulcers with it.

cayenne pepper

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased The Coconut Diet book and started using VCO. I'm now

hearing that cayenne pepper also had many healing properties. Does anyone

have any experience or knowledge about cayenne pepper?

Thanks much!

Any kind of milk will do. The hot ingredient in cayenne is capsaicin, which

is fat-soluble. The butterfat in the milk dilutes it. Water just spreads it

around.

Sally:

I took Cayenne Pepper for months because Dr. Fife recommended it in his book

Coconut Cures, for Circulation and Heart Disease. I took 3 with each meal and

got rid of ALL the pain in my leg from a blockage that I have. It worked very

well. I started off with the Mild pills, then graduated to the Hot pills.

There are some Testimonials on this site, about how people are using it to

overcome a lot of health problems. Have a look at www.earthclinic.com and see.

Cayenne pepper

Hi,

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

This morning, my hubby was sneezing and his nose was running, we were

doing the weekly shop, so not very nice. He remembered cayenne pepper,

took some on returning home and his nose and sneezing dried up almost

instantly. We can't remember why or how it works, but it did. Does

anyone know?

blood vessels back together. LOL

speaking of which i betetr teake my daily dose adn get to bed been here too

It's really hard to know if the cayenne pepper has made a difference,

I take so many other things. But, when I lived in a heavily infested

house a few months ago, the bugs didn't bother me much while they

bothered other people a lot more. I do so many things that i don't

know what all actually helps.

One thing that I did also that the others didn't was spray Picardin

insect repellants on me each morning and Cedarcide at night (Picardin

is less toxic than DEET and has less smell, so it works if you have

to go to work and not smell--available from Cutter, and Off). Since

then, I've added thick layers of vaseline to the regimen, I put it in

areas where the mites like to crawl/bite, like my chest, pubic area,

shoulders, and around the ankles so they can't crawl up if I'm

walking. This seems to help.

At night, after my shower, I do the vaseline, then Lemon Eucalyptus

repellant with an added layer of Cedarcide. I used to only used the

Lemon Eucalyptus with the vaseline, but I found that by morning I

tended to have 10 bites each morning, with the cedarcide, I have

maybe one bite a night.

In the last three weeks, I've experienced a marked improvement as a

whole and I would attribute it to three things:

1) When I go to bed, I spray my entire body, the bed, and the

surrounding area with Cedarcide.

2) I've been shifting my wardrobe to synthetic materials (such as

soccer jerseys and slick running pants), although I have not been

able to shift all of them.

3)Microwaving everything non-synthetic, such as cotton, for about 30

or 40 seconds. Make sure it can turn and is not stuck as it burns

holes otherwise and don't put sythetic material in the microwave.

I was also able to change the Borax on the car floor by vacuuming and

putting another layer and then I changed the 50 gallon bag on my car

seat, after vacuuming, a new layer, and a new bag, I think my car is

finally almost completely clear. I have a blog post on " cleaning "

cars on my blog (a lot of the stuff is from other people trying it),

http://mitescentral.blogspot.com, although I do not have the

circumstances or resources to do all those things.

+++Hi . Doctors get about 5-8 hours nutritional training, so they

don't understand a lot about nutrition, so I wouldn't trust them for

good advice. I've had over 22 years.

+++When your body is sick it isn't able to crave things that are good

for it, so I wouldn't trust that either. See the many Success Stories

by people who have done, or are doing this program. None of them are

taking Lugol's Iodine, and many of them had their thyroids totally

normalize with only this program.

> Bee, does cayenne pepper kill off the good bacteria?

+++There's many rumours going around about all kinds of natural spices

and herbs killing off good bacteria, and they are totally false.

Natural substances do not kill off good bacteria, otherwise countries

that use a lot of cayenne pepper would have had candida for eons.

+++Toxins kill off good bacteria, not Nature's healing substances.

+++However, no one should take very much of any herb or spice, nor for

long periods of time. Nature intends us to use them sparingly. Too

much of a good thing isn't better, since it can overwhelm the body's

natural healing mechanisms.

Cayenne Pepper

The World's Healthiest Foods

Hot and spicy, cayenne pepper is available year round adding zest to

flavorful dishes around the world and health to those brave enough to

risk its fiery heat.

The cayenne pepper is a member of the Capsicum family of vegetables,

which are more commonly known as chili peppers. It is known botanically

as Capsicum annuum. The common name " cayenne " was actually given to this

pepper because of its cultivation in a town that bears the same name in

French Guiana on the northeast coast of South America.

Health Benefits

Hot and spicy, cayenne pepper adds zest to flavorful dishes around the

world and health to those brave enough to risk its fiery heat. The

hotness produced by cayenne is caused by its high concentration of a

substance called capsaicin. Technically referred to as

8-methyul-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide, capsaicin has been widely studied for

its pain-reducing effects, its cardiovascular benefits, and its ability

to help prevent ulcers. Capsaicin also effectively opens and drains

congested nasal passages.

In addition to their high capsaicin content, cayenne peppers are also an

excellent source of vitamin A, through its concentration of pro-vitamin

A carotenoids including beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is not only a

potent antioxidant in its own right, but can be converted in the body to

vitamin A, a nutrient essential for the health of all epithelial tissues

(the tissues that line all body cavities including the respiratory,

gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts). Beta-carotene may therefore

be helpful in reducing the symptoms of asthma, osteoarthritis, and

rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, its antioxidant activity make it

useful in preventing the free radical damage that can lead to

atherosclerosis, colon cancer, and diabetic complications, like nerve

damage and heart disease.

Fight Inflammation

All chili peppers, including cayenne, contain capsaicin, which in

addition to giving cayenne its characteristic heat, is a potent

inhibitor of substance P, a neuropeptide associated with inflammatory

processes. The hotter the chili pepper, the more capsaicin it contains.

The hottest varieties include habañero and Scotch bonnet as well as

cayenne peppers. Jalapeños are next in their heat and capsaicin content,

followed by the milder varieties, including Spanish pimentos, and

Anaheim and Hungarian cherry peppers.

Capsaicin is being studied as an effective treatment for sensory nerve

fiber disorders, including pain associated with arthritis, psoriasis,

and diabetic neuropathy. When animals injected with a substance that

causes inflammatory arthritis were fed a diet that contained capsaicin,

they had delayed onset of arthritis, and also significantly reduced paw

inflammation.

Natural Pain Relief

Topical capsaicin has been shown in studies to be an effective treatment

for cluster headaches and osteoarthritis pain. Several review studies of

pain management for diabetic neuropathy have listed the benefits of

topical capsaicin to alleviate disabling pain associated with this

condition.

In a double-blind placebo controlled trial, nearly 200 patients with

psoriasis were given topical preparations containing either capsaicin or

placebo. Patients who were given capsaicin reported significant

improvement based on a severity score which traced symptoms associated

with psoriasis. The side effect reported with topical capsaicin cream is

a burning sensation at the area of application.

Cardiovascular Benefits

Cayenne and other red chili peppers have been shown to reduce blood

cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and platelet aggregation, while

increasing the body's ability to dissolve fibrin, a substance integral

to the formation of blood clots. Cultures where hot peppers like cayenne

are used liberally have a much lower rate of heart attack, stroke and

pulmonary embolism.

Clear Congestion

Capsaicin not only reduces pain, but its peppery heat also stimulates

secretions that help clear mucus from your stuffed up nose or congested

lungs. Capsaicin is similar to a compound found in many cold remedies

for breaking up congestion, except that capsaicin works much faster. A

tea made with hot cayenne pepper very quickly stimulates the mucus

membranes lining the nasal passages to drain, helping to relieve

congestion and stuffiness. Next cold and flu season, give it a try.

Boost Immunity

Cayenne peppers' bright red color signals its high content of

beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A. Just two teaspoons of cayenne pepper

provide 29.4% of the daily value for vitamin A. Often called the

anti-infection vitamin, vitamin A is essential for healthy epithelial

tissues including the mucous membranes that line the nasal passages,

lungs, intestinal tract and urinary tract and serve as the body's first

line of defense against invading pathogens.

Prevent Stomach Ulcers

Chili peppers like cayenne have a bad--and undeserved--reputation for

contributing to stomach ulcers. Not only do they not cause ulcers, these

hot peppers may help prevent them by killing bacteria you may have

ingested, while powerfully stimulating the cells lining the stomach to

secrete protective buffering juices that prevent ulcer formation. The

use of cayenne pepper is actually associated with a reduced risk of

stomach ulcers.

Lose Weight

All that heat you feel after eating hot chili peppers takes energy--and

calories to produce. Even sweet red peppers have been found to contain

substances that significantly increase thermogenesis (heat production)

and oxygen consumption for more than 20 minutes after they are eaten.

Description

The cayenne pepper is a member of the Capsicum family of vegetables,

which are more commonly known as chili peppers. It is known botanically

as Capsicum annuum. The common name " cayenne " was actually given to this

pepper because of its cultivation in a town that bears the same name in

French Guiana on the northeast coast of South America.

History

It is not surprising that cayenne peppers as well as other chili peppers

can trace their seven thousand year history to Central and South

America, regions whose cuisines are renowned for their hot and spicy

flavors. They have been cultivated in these regions for more than seven

thousand years, first as a decorative item and later as a foodstuff and

medicine.

It was not until the 15th and 16th centuries that cayenne and other

chili peppers were introduced to the rest of the world.

Columbus encountered them on his explorations of the Caribbean Islands

and brought them back to Europe where they were used as a substitute for

black pepper, which was very expensive at that time since it had to be

imported from Asia. Ferdinand Magellan is credited with introducing them

into Africa and Asia, continents that since have incorporated them not

only into their cuisines but their pharmacopeias. While cayenne and

chili peppers are now grown on all continents, today China, Turkey,

Nigeria, Spain and Mexico are among the largest commercial producers.

How to Select and Store

Even through dried herbs and spices are widely available in

supermarkets, explore the local spice stores or ethnic markets in your

area. Oftentimes, these stores feature an expansive selection of dried

herbs and spices that are of superior quality and freshness than those

offered in regular markets. Just like with other dried spices, try to

select organically grown dried cayenne pepper since this will give you

more assurance that it has not been irradiated.

Cayenne pepper should be kept in a tightly sealed glass jar, away from

direct sunlight.

How to Enjoy

A Few Quick Serving Ideas:

Cayenne is sure to heat up any vegetable healthy sauté.

Keep a container of cayenne on the table right next to the pepper mill,

so you and your family can add a pinch of extra spice to any of your

meals.

Give your hot cocoa a traditional Mexican flair by adding a tiny bit of

cayenne pepper.

Canned beans take on a whole new dimension when cayenne is added to

them.

Cayenne and lemon juice make great complements to cooked bitter greens

such as collards, kale and mustard greens.

Safety

Cayenne Pepper Belongs to the Nightshade Family

Cayenne pepper comes from chili peppers, one of the vegetables in the

nightshade (Solanaceae) family, which also includes eggplant, tomatoes,

bell peppers and white potatoes. Anecdotal case histories link

improvement in arthritis symptoms with removal of these foods; however,

there are no scientific studies to date that confirm this information.

Actually, technically, peppers are considered " fruit " .

And it is always great when someone posts this sort of stuff, for me

at least! After a great deal of study into the pepper in general and

hot ones specifically, I can say with some authority that they are as

close to the perfect plant as our Creator has made. If they were the

only aspect of one's diet, one would still be helthy and vibrant.

Thanks for posting it!!!!!
