I heard about ceyanne for my blood pressure 2 years ago. I started drinking it in small doses. My BP became better got off meds. Then some bonus, I also fixed heart burn and acid reflux as well.
Hi Dre... reflux is often caused by the mistake of using not enough salt, and not drinking enough water, the day before. You need salt and water to make enough acid to digest food, instead of having it ferment in your stomach, causing gas, which refluxes.
Sugar, deserts and fruit should be avoided following a meal. Sugar CAUSES reflux if used with a meal. Coffee and chocolate also should not be used with a meal.
Your high blood pressure has probably caused your physician to tell you to lay off salt. That is a mistake. Using Sea salt gives you electrolytes needed for proper cardiac care. You must maintain a balance between sodium and potassium, or you will lose water, or retain water, rather than the desired homeostasis.
Nitric oxide supplements like 'NEO40 DAILY' are very useful for lowering blood pressure, and using food with the same components deliver the same results... increased nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
Home made sauerkraut is useful for obtaining immediate relief from reflux. As little as one tablespoon stops the reflux normally.
I advise to read Ray Peat's views on N.O., mentioning the dangers and how it really should just be a backup system to CO2 (which we lack). Some people have corrected their BP by bag breathing a few times -- but consider that an anecdote.
Two years ago when I saw the doc, one of the nurses whispered that I should take cayenne capsules for my heart. So some still know this. Adding some cayenne to food.
There are different dosages for different purposes. E.G. I use CoQ10 for stopping the shakes from brain-atrophy (at least 1000mg) whereas someone who uses it to protect the heart, needs only 100mg.
When people started using herbs no one knew the dosage. I have no one to tell me, so I always start with the lowest. If the box says 3 a day I start with one. If it does not help and I don't feel any side effects I take 2. And everyone is different, so it might even be that 'the right dose' is still not working properly. The right dose is a doctor's measure IMO
Yes, certainly, DMSO is a remarkably useful medical tool. But, people should be made aware of the known benefits of other common spices, kept buried due to the mercantile interests of the pharmaceutical industry. Besides - as the literature clearly states there is no known evidence of adverse effects ever reported, from the use of cayenne; regardless of dosage. I read the same article from ‘A Midwestern Doctor’ and truly appreciate the wealth of information on the amazing healing properties of DMSO. Though some folks do report acquiring an annoying garlic odor, from using it.
Hi Unbekoming. Thank you so much for the article on cayenne - very comprehensive! But thank you even more for introducing me to Sally Fallon who (shamefully) I had never heard of. I'm going off now to buy some books. Thanks again. Martin
@Unbekoming would you give permission for part of this article to be re-printed in a newsletter of a non-profit? With full credit of course and it will re-direct readers to your Substack.
Dr Christopher, a master herbalist who died in 1983, often claimed that he could stop a heart attack in its tracks by administering cayenne. I occasionally take a few drops of 180KHU (180,000 heat units) of cayenne tincture to aid in the function of the vascular system.
The problem is that whatever troubles you might be having, drugs and supplements and herbs only mask them. Take away these items and the problems still remain as the root causes and issues have not been addressed. That is why cardiology is such a failure for the long term.
I was told I had to take aspirin everyday. After reading Barbara O’Neill and Jethro Kloss I weaned myself off and now I only take cayenne. I grow it in the Summer, dry and grind it and use it. Thank you for raising this in another forum.
I have a glass of tomato juice every day with my lunch, i add a dash of olive oil and a dash of cayenne, I have done this for years but don’t remember what I read to make me do this
So many ways to use cayenne, unfortunately the article doesnt mention much about dosage and how to apply the dose, for example if you have a sore throat, you shoult put how much of the cayenne pepper where on the throat? Mixed with what exactly, because powder doesnt adhere to the skin very much. How much for open wounds etc. and applied for how long... would be much more usefull with some details... Cheers. Norbert
This is a priceless reminder. May I respectfully request that you resurface this as a new article at regular intervals to help us keep it top-of-mind? Love your work!
For anybody intolerant of or sensitive to salicylates (plants natural pesticide), the rudimentary explanation - capsaicin fills the receptors used to process salicylates blocking the salicylates from getting in, so that they pass through the body instead of causing a reaction. I have been using it for 2 or 3 years to enable me to eat foods containing salicylates (most veggies, fruits & herbs) without getting food poisoning symptoms (my personal reaction).
The FedUp.com/au & The Royal Prince Albert Hispital websites are the most accurate knowledge base I've found. The RPAH has been studying Sals for 30+ years. Sue Dengate from the FedUp site has dedicated her life to Sals, food dyes & chemicals that are poisoning our children, in order to help her own children who are very affected by them.
Ingesting cayenne can make my retinas bleed - I’m not on anticoagulants. Raw ginger, garlic, turmeric, and white willow bark/aspirin also cause bleeds.
Sharon - How do you know your retinas are bleeding? Do you mean the whites of the eyes get blood bursts?
I also stay away from anything that thins my blood, like ginko leaf, as it causes red bursts in the whites of my eyes that doesn't go away for a whole week or two.
Of course, the western medicine eye doctors were no help over the years. They always said, "We don't know what causes it." I had to do my own research and find out from strangers online.
I don’t have any of the other symptoms, except tinnitus. Interesting that it has an enzymatic connection, I suppose everything does. Lol. I have other more serious enzymatic issues that seem to run in our fam and involve cytokines, and now, I guess, leukotrienes. I just avoid a lot of foods, etc.

Wow!!! Thanks for sharing that!
That is amazing! I have high BP and terrible reflux. How much do you take?

Wow! Thank you so much for the reply and being so detailed in your advice. I really appreciate it.
How much did you take? How often? How much fluid did you take it with? Thanks!
See this article for how much to take:

Toward the end of article titled:
Cayenne tea — the daily practice:
Two years ago when I saw the doc, one of the nurses whispered that I should take cayenne capsules for my heart. So some still know this. Adding some cayenne to food.
What dosage is the appropriate amount?
I just use a bit to taste. I never measure my spices. I using capsules, the bottle will have the dosage.
There are different dosages for different purposes. E.G. I use CoQ10 for stopping the shakes from brain-atrophy (at least 1000mg) whereas someone who uses it to protect the heart, needs only 100mg.
When people started using herbs no one knew the dosage. I have no one to tell me, so I always start with the lowest. If the box says 3 a day I start with one.

Brain atrophy? Is that the same as brain fog?
DMSO is much better without the "spicy" effects. It can also prevent permanent damage during a stroke.

I used to get Sam Biser's newsletter and collected all his interviews and videos with Richard Schulze.
Help yourself to anything in my Health folder; Biser's Cayenne is there in Dr Schulze folder.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i8J5w-EWsR9vKqS6aqQCPB-nIS2B3eKk?usp=sharing
I also have videos on cayenne with Biser and Schulze there.
Enjoy
Thank you!!

Yes, no problem
Another request:
Could you refer me/us to a listing of Herbal/Naturopathic educational facilities in the USA (or provide on to your readers)?
To be one's best Dr., might as well sign up for some classes.
Your thoughts?
Cayenne with Curcumin? Accelerates function of acting as an anti-inflammatory?
Lastly, what's your thoughts on taking a daily dose of Niacin (Vitamin B12) as a preventative?
Thx.
Niacin = Vit B3 (to prevent what?)
Thank you. I’ll let you know when it’s going out.

Tomatoes are terrific fruits.
Yes. The trifecta of olive oil, cayenne and tomatoes boosts the benefits of each
My daughter found a recipe for corn kernels online that calls for cayenne, limes, butter, and cilantro. It is delicious. I will ask her for it.

Unbekoming - Thank you for bringing this information out into the world. Every household should have cayenne in their home.
I bought a good strong one and it is stored in the refrigerator to use in case of heart attack, stroke, bleeding wounds, or pain.
The Herbal Toad, 2.5 oz, Cayenne Powder. It is organic and has 90,000 heat units.
I also keep a bit of it in my purse so it's there if I need it.

I take a several dash or tincture of cayenne in my coffee daily!

See my comment below if you'd like a shortcut to research salicylates.
You can add fish oil - pharmaceutical grade and otherwise.
I don’t see a shortcut
All of those things are high in Salicylates. You might want to research that.
I don’t have any of the other symptoms, except tinnitus. Interesting that it has an enzymatic connection, I suppose everything does. Lol. I have other more serious enzymatic issues that seem to run in our fam and involve cytokines, and now, I guess, leukotrienes. I just avoid a lot of foods, etc.
Uh-oh, what an ominous, but short response to my post. I’m going to G👀gle it right away.
