Cayenne, the Heart - & Aflatoxins

 

 

 

 

Cayenne pepper--

in the field of western herbalism is considered a cure-all!

 

It acts as a diaphoretic, antiseptic, tonic,

rubefacient, carmative, anti-asthmatic, pain reliever, sialagugue,

and is a powerful *immune* stimulant!

 

Cayenne is widely used as a catalyst or potentiator in herbal

formulas.

 

It has antibacterial and antifungal affects and stimulates kidney

enzyme activity.

 

Cayenne can lower cholesterol levels, thin the blood, normalize

blood pressure, and fight fatigue!

 

It facilitates the whole *digestive* process for uncooked

Cayenne is not " irritating " to the digestive system.

 

It may surprise you to learn that Cayenne is used as a herb in it's

dry powdered form. Only when it is cooked, is it a major irritant to

the digestive tract.

 

The adverse effects of prescription drugs and their rally recalls

the words of Sir Francis Bacon,

 

" Cure the disease, kill the patient. "

 

Cayenne, used internally or externally is renowned for it's

ability to aid *circulatory* disorders.

 

One study found that half of all heart patients were " nutritionally "

deficient.

 

It is important to remember that the herb Cayenne is a " food " is

that is is capable of *nourishing* our heart.

 

In the book " Capsicum " written by Dr. John Christopher,many

different varieties of Cayenne pepper have been studied for their

medicinal benefits.

 

Of all the varieties studied, " African Birdeye " peppers were

found to retain heat in the body longer than any other variety,

therefore producing longer lasting health benefits.

 

The heat of the various varieties of peppers is measured in units

called *Scoville* units.

 

From the green bell pepper with a Scoville rating of -0-, the

peppers are ranked up through the Habanero or

Scotch Bonnet peppers with heat ratings of several hundred thousand

Scoville units,

 

or the " hottest " peppers known to man.

 

Cayenne appears to be a therapeutic herb for many ailments.

 

Researchers at West Virginia University and Loma Linda University

school of medicine found that Cayenne may even *protect* against

cancer.

 

Capsaicin prevents the liver from turning certain compounds

such as *aflatoxins*, found in peanut butter, into " carcinogens "

 

.. In Great Britain and Japan, researchers found that Cayenne can

cause the

body to burn up to 25% more calories in a day than it normally would.

 

A recent Japanese patent claims that Cayenne " alkaloids " are

effective

for treatment of *liver* disease.
