CAYENNE

A farmer used to give Cayenne to his chickens and cows when they were ailing, but never to the children when they were sick. One of the sons said, "We were worth more to him than those animals! He should have given it to us, too." Dr. assured us that Cayenne is one of the greatest herbs of all time-though it is also one of the most misunderstood and ridiculed. He said that every home should have a good supply of Cayenne pepper.

When only a young man in his thirties, Dr. was told by the medical doctors that he could not live past his fortieth year because of arthritis, hardening of arteries, stomach ulcers, and some automobile accidents that had damaged him rather badly. He was so concerned that he started using Cayenne, working up to a teaspoon taken three times a day. By the time he was forty-five years old, he was working in a business wherein the group wanted him to have a $100,000 insurance policy because of the importance of the business deal.

Because it was such a large policy, the company required the examination to be given by two medical doctors, each to examine twice. At the end of one of these physicals, one of the doctors said, "This is astounding! You have the venous structure of a teenage boy, at forty-five years of age!"

The other doctor kept pumping up his blood pressure equipment over and over again, repeating the blood pressure check. Dr. began to be perturbed, and asked him if the equipment was broken. "it always has worked up till now, but I keep looking at your chart, which says you are forty-five years old, and yet your systolic over your diastolic is absolutely perfect. I cannot comprehend it." Dr. assured him that it was indeed perfect, and he attributed this clean bill of health to Cayenne
