I have been reading a lot on herbs and this one is really one to consider. Its hot,lol, but it works and is an education read. There are tons of facts on this Pepper, you decide.
******************************************************************** Can cayenne pepper truly decrease your cholesterol? Yes it can. Cayenne is likely one of the most powerful herbs on this planet but most just consider it as a culinary condiment. Its uses and tremendous health benefits, however, go far past its culinary uses. It is a proven herb (or spice to be more exact) that has been used for many years by smart herbalists and home health practitioners.

Cayenne pepper is extremely beneficial for the whole venous structure and for the heart. Its nutrients are what give it such proficiency. In fact, it is not solely a very dietary spice or herb but it's a medicinal herb as well. It is rather high in Vitamins A, C, and the B complexes. It is also teeming with assimilable calcium and potassium. Its abundance of potassium is one of the reasons why it's so helpful for the human heart.

So, why is it so helpful within the lowering of cholesterol? Cayenne is a medicinal herb that when digested by the body, helps to clean the bloodstream of unwanted elements. How specifically? Cayenne in some way processes fats without absorbing it and it helps the system excrete the fats via normal bowel movements. Its velocity and efficacy in which it works is nothing short of amazing. If taken each day, it is not going to only strengthen the heart, but will lower cholesterol by scouring the blood. The therapeutic value of cayenne has been repeatedly validated, however don't take my or various scientific studies word for it.

Want cayenne pepper health benefits? Take cayenne in warm water. The warm water is far faster than tablets, capsules, or cold water as the warm cayenne water opens the cells. It makes the cells expand and makes use of the cayenne that much faster.

It's possible you'll be stunned to listen to about the medicinal efficacy of cayenne pepper but in truth it has been used as a medicine (as well as an natural condiment) for actually centuries all around the world. As a result of the stranglehold Big Pharma has upon the medical establishment, not to mention the hold trendy Western medicine has upon our healthcare, the benefits of cayenne and different herbs and spices remains comparatively unknown, and herbalist practitioners are persecuted and prosecuted by the healthcare powers that be.

So why haven't most heard of cayenne's amazing therapeutic abilities? Money. The number-one-selling drug within the US is Lipitor -- ostensibly sold to reduce cholesterol. In 2005 alone, Lipitor had 12.2 billion in sales. According to CNN, Lipitor totaled thirteen billion. Evidently, cayenne pepper might eradicate all that. Consider the difference: it costs anywhere from $10 to $20 to purchase a pound of cayenne pepper. The average price dosage of Lipitor is $80. While you're making thirteen billion a year in sales on one drug, you do not want to give that up, nor do you want others to know about one thing that works better. Now you know in part why herbal medication is publicly mocked by the medical institution and criminalized by the government. In fact, natural medicine has been respected for years among true health practitioners.

The cayenne drink takes some getting used to, but its benefits are tremendous. Your ldl cholesterol will decrease, your heart will strengthen, and you may experience other health benefits as well. Drink the it pepper detoxification drink. It's cheap and whereas consuming a glass of heat cayenne pepper water seems odd, its health benefits will probably be noticeable. Don't rely on medical doctors to "cure" you of lower cholesterol. Medical doctors can definitely be an important blessing, but by learning of other means to help your health, you'll profit tremendously.

Ducks won't walk in it either. We had our boat at Watergate marina in Kemah Tx. These "exotic" ducks were all over the place, and if course they made a mess. So bad, you could't walk the dock without transferring the veal to your boat.

Another boater suggested we sprinkle cayanne pepper on the dock. Low and behold it worked no more ducks on our dock. After a rain, we would go out and sprinkling more. After about a month, they got trained to where we sprinkled maybe once a month.

Can't I just eat the peppers instead? When I lived in Mexico, we used to sit at the bar and had bowls with peanuts, bowls with pretzels and bowls with peppers ... made the beer go down easier too ... not when I was driving of course but even so, I do love peppers of all sorts!

I don't see why not..I grow jalapenos and banana peppers and use them in lots of recipes..but mostly in my homemade salsa..

Cayenne Peppers
• This herb is a great food for the circulatory system in that it feeds the necessary elements into the cell structure of the arteries, veins and capillaries so that these regain the elasticity of youth again, and the blood pressure adjusts itself to normal. It rebuilds the tissue in the stomach and heals the stomach and intestinal ulcers; in equalizing the blood circulation, Cayenne produces natural warmth in your body; and in stimulating the peristaltic motion of the intestines, it aids in assimilation and elimination.

• Cayenne regulates the flow of blood from the head to the feet so that the pressure is equalized; it influences the heart immediately, then gradually extends its effects to the arteries, capillaries, and nerves (the frequency of the pulse is not increased, but is given more vigor).

• Human circulation; it is warming; dilating; specific for varicose veins; equalizes the blood pressure in the arterial and venous system; equalizes blood pressure instantly actually.

• Cayenne is useful in alleviating allergies, muscle cramp, improving digestion, gives more pep and energy, and helps wound healing with minimal scar tissue.

• Cayenne is a counter-irritant; it brings blood to the surface and allows the toxins to be taken away.

In an article reported on March 16, 2006 by Reuters, the main ingredient in Cayenne, capsaicin, was found to destroy prostate cancer cells. Here is what the article said,

"Capsaicin led 80 percent of human prostate cancer cells growing in mice to commit suicide in a process known as apoptosis, the researchers said. Prostate cancer tumors in mice fed capsaicin were about one-fifth the size of tumors in untreated mice, they reported in the journal Cancer Research. 'Capsaicin had a profound anti-proliferative effect on human prostate cancer cells in culture,' said Dr. Soren Lehmann of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine."

• Capsicum supports the natural beat (rhythm) of the viscera and interior actions of the glandular, circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive systems. It has been used with great success as a cure for spotted fever (?); the most active stimulant to support and re-animate feeble or exhausted powers.

• This is a medicine of great value in the practice, and may be safely used in all cases of disease, to raise and retain the internal vital heat of the system, cause a free perspiration, and keep the determining powers to the surface. The only preparation is to have it reduced to a fine powder. For a dose, take from half to a teaspoonful in hot water or tea sweetened with honey.

• Dr. Coffin includes cayenne pepper in his composition powder to restore the normal function of the body in the various stages of pregnancy and childbirth. For morning sickness he recommends a combination of ‘White poplar bark, agrimony, centaury, raspberry leaves, yarrow and rhubarb, each a quarter of an ounce, steep in two quarts of water, strain, and add while hot two teaspoons of powdered cinnamon, half a teaspoonful of Cayenne pepper, and let the patient take one tablespoonful every three hours until the symptoms are removed if this should not relieve, give an emetic and repeat if necessary.

• Great for heartburn.

• Capsicum is a powerful rubefacient.

• Capsicum is a general nervous stimulant; a specific for delirium tremens.

• For atonic gout, in paralysis, in dropsy, in tympanitis, and in the debilitated stages of fever.

• For scrofulous; dyspepsia; flatulence; it's an excellent carminative.

• For sore throats—gargle (prepare the gargle with honey); for spasmodic and irritating coughs; heartburn and diarrhea;

• Enables feeble stomachs to digest food; for atonic dyspepsia; specific for hemorrhoids; cures intermittent fever; Capsicum has the power to control menorrhagia; relieves sea-sickness;

• In delirium tremens it is beneficial by enabling the patient to retain and digest food.

• Capsicum is particularly efficient in tonsillitis, and the sore throat of scarlet fever and in diphtheria no application is so efficient as a strong gargle or wash make with Capsicum.

• Promote digestion; relieves pains of the womb; removes obstructed menstruation; for quinsy; for all diseases of the throat; use as a plaster with honey for rheumatic pains, pains of the joints, gout, swellings, etc.; Use outwardly as a liniment, apply it warm or hot for arthritis and rheumatism; gargle for scarlet fever; use an infusion for ulcers in the mouth, strep throat or tonsillitis. (p.103)

• Cayenne is an excellent remedy for a cold; mix infusion with slippery elm and molasses or honey, and take in doses throughout the day; also excellent for sore throat and coughs.

• Cayenne mixed with pennyroyal (an herb) taken for three days will expel the dead birth material from a miscarriage.

• Eases toothache; preserves the teeth from rotting, and when rubbed on the gums, stimulates them enough to prevent pyorrhea.

• Excellent for any type of internal hemorrhage, (create an infusion with bethroot or star root);

• Capsicum is an important remedy in cholera; Capsicum stops vomiting; combine with equal parts of Capsicum and common table salt, one half ounce of each, one pint of good vinegar, give in tablespoon doses for cholera, vomiting "cholera morbus" -- the gross material associated with cholera from the system

• In chronic lumbago a plaster of Capsicum with garlic, pepper and liquid amber (silarasa) or storax is an efficient stimulant and rubefacient application. (p105)

• When made into a lozenge with sugar and tragacanth it is a remedy for hoarseness.

• For a carminative make pills of equal parts of Capsicum, rhubarb and ginger or aloes.

• Combine Capsicum with cinchona for intermittent and lethargic affections and for atonic gout and in advanced stages of rheumatism.

• Combine with asafoetida and sweet flag root or camphor in the form of pills in cases of cholera.

• Capsicum has a powerful action on the mucous membrane, and in hoarseness and sore throat, and in putrid throat a gargle made of Capsicum is particularly beneficial.

• By pouring hot vinegar upon the fruits of Capsicum all the essential qualities are preserved. This vinegar is an excellent stomachic.

• The whole plant steeped in milk is successfully applied to reduce swellings and hardened tumors.

• An infusion with cinnamon and sugar is a valuable drink for patients suffering from delirium tremens as it satisfies the craving in dipsomaniacs. A dose of ten grains of finely powdered capsicum seed, given with an ounce of hot water, two or three times a day, sometimes shows wonderful effects in cases of delirium tremens.

• Capsicum can be used in the treatment of a snake bite.

• As well as the fruit being used as a spice, the leaves were applied to ulcers and headaches. (p.111)

• Capsicum is given internally in atonic dyspepsia and flatulence. It is used externally as a counter-irritant in the form of ointment, plaster, medicated wool, etc. for the relief of rheumatism and lumbago.

• Oral administration of Capsicum may stimulate the gall bladder reflex.

• Capsicum either contains a cholagogue, or acts as a powerful stimulus upon the mucous membrane of the duodenum.

• Cayenne pepper is forgotten therapeutic agent against anorexia, liver congestion, and vascular troubles. Capsicum is highly effective in causing hemorrhoids to regress; and these fruits have the same action on varicose veins. The results are attributed to alkaloids or glucosides in the peppers.

• Excessive amounts of Capsicum (above 20 grams, thus, nearly an ounce) may induce frequent bowel movements.

• Cayenne stimulates the appetite, more especially as a hot climate tends to produce anorexia. We have always held the saliva is the key that unlocks the door to digestion. Capsicum, a sialogogue, will stimulate the flow of saliva and will be very helpful to people who have become accustomed to ‘inhaling’ their food and thus robbing themselves of the benefits of saliva in the digestive process. Capsicum would stimulate their flow of saliva as they return to a healthier attitude toward eating.

• Capsicum may be valuable in the prevention and treatment of blood clots.

• Cayenne pepper is very soothing; it is effective as a poultice for rheumatism, inflammation, pleurisy, and helpful also if taken internally for these. For sores and wounds it makes a good poultice. It is a stimulant when taken internally as well as being antispasmodic. Good for kidneys, spleen and pancreas; wonderful for lockjaw; will heal a sore ulcerated stomach; Capsicum is a specific and very effective remedy for yellow fever, as well as other fevers and may be taken in capsules followed by a glass of water. (p. 119).

So, there you have it. Cayenne pepper is literally one of the greatest health secrets in the world. It's also remarkably inexpensive. I've seen it as low as $1.67 a pound and as high as $35 or so (it was organic certified), but even that $35 a pound figure was astonishingly low, in my view. Big Pharma hates medicinal spices and herbs as they are a powerhouse of nutrition and healing but they don't offer much with profits. It, therefore, takes the dedicated seeker of truth to find out for themselves -- and that is why I put up this website.

I hope this cayenne pepper health benefits has been useful to you.

Yours in health,
