Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne is known by the names: African Pepper American Pepper Bird Pepper Cockspur Pepper Goat's Pepper Pod Pepper Garden Pepper African Red Pepper Capsicum and Chili Pepper.

Originally South American the cayenne plant is now used as a food as well as a medicine. The potent hot fruit of Cayenne has been used as medicine since time immemorial. Helpful for various ailments of a gastrointestinal nature including stomach aches cramping pains and gas cayenne was used to treat diseases of the circulatory system. It is still traditionally used in herbal medicine as a tonic to improve circulation.

Massaged into the skin Cayenne is a traditional and modern remedy for rheumatic pains and arthritis due to it's non-irritant anti-inflamatory effect.

It is considered thermogenic in that it can speed up metabolism and encourage weight loss. Cayenne also improves circulation and helps to relieve pain not only due to its endorphin enhancing abilities but also diluted and used topically to block the pain messages to the brain.

Dr. John Christopher famous natural healer praised the use of Cayenne throughout the time of his practice.

"In 35 years of practice and working with the people and teaching I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is whenever I go in --if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water and within minutes they are up and around). This is one of the fastest acting aids we could ever give for the heart because it feeds that heart immediately.

Most hearts are suffering from malnutrition because of processed food we are eating but here it gets a good powerful dose of real food and it's something that has brought people in time after time. This is something that everyone should know how great it is because a heart attack can come to your friends or loved ones any time. And even yourself.

The warm tea is faster working than tablets capsules cold tea because the warm tea opens up the cell structure--makes it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster and it goes directly to the heart through the artery system and feeds it in powerful food."

To show the value of cayenne and how great it is and what a wonderful heart food it is this story has been repeated in a number of publications on doctors in the East who put some live heart tissue into a sterile beaker filled with distilled water and fed it nothing but cayenne pepper cleaning off sediments periodically and adding nothing but distilled water from natural evaporation. During the time that they were feeding the heart tissue they would have to trim it continually every few days because it would grow so rapidly. Having no control glands (pituitary and pineal glands) the tissue just continued to grow rapidly and because of this they had to watch it over the years and the doctors and associates kept the heart tissue alive for fifteen years.

After the doctor died his associates kept it alive for two more years before destroying it so they could do more research work on it. This shows the high food value cayenne gives to heart tissue. This is why so many many amazing instances have come to light people who have used cayenne when they had heart attacks because in most cases your heart attack is a case of malnutrition. The heart hasn't had a decent meal for so long that it is practically starved and we give it immediately a good meal instead of whipping it with nitroglycerine or digitalis or some other type of drug to force it to beat rapidly to bring more food values to the heart so that it could find a little help to keep going. Here we give the cayenne directly to the system and it goes into the heart area acting as a good full meal. Many fast responses come from this.
