Sharon,

How does this cayenne pepper 'remedy' work on the guts... would it have a

similar effect on the human gut?... TIA

I've known a man on one of Internet discussion boards who has been using cayenne

pepper for seemingly everything: internal and external problems in his dogs and

himself. He said he cured some digestive problem in his dog. I hope that

ingesting it in a capsule would be effective too. This way you could take more.

Sharon,

Thanks for all the info... for just over a week now, I've had a nasty case of

bronchitis which is what I get IF and WHEN I come down with anything... just

took 'industrial' quantities of garlic, chillies and more than my normal intake

of ginger.... It seems I'm recovering a lot quicker than I did in previous

years... I knew about garlic's medicinal properties but not about chillies...

<<Also, years ago I learned from a Native American about taking

cayenne to " clean the blood the gut, to prevent arthritis. " Ever since

then, about 30 years, I've been a chile head. :-)>>

Apparently chillies ARE addictive... not a bad addiction though :-)
