Hi All
Walking past a "Health & Herbal" shop in town this morning. A big poster
copy of a page in their free magazine "Natures Way Cayenne" I had to pick
up a copy and there is two pages extolling the virtues of Cayenne extracts
for all sorts of ailments. By the late Dr John OR Christopher, American
Master Herbalist.
He claims " I have never on house calls lost one heart attack 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. ????
In a section titled What is pure Capsaicin ? "Capsaicin is the pain
relieving capsenoid found naturally in Cayenne. It goes on to say that when
extracted and purified is for external and research work only. If taken
internally can cause hypothermia, neurogenic inflammation and PAIN. So only
use Cayenne capsules that contain genuine red cayenne."
I was unable to resist going in and enquiring the price. From $NZ25 up to
where I was scared to ask. So I politely told the lady there was heaps of
Chile peppers for free in my back garden and left :-)
I have scanned the two pages into jog files of 237kb and 215kb. If any one
would like copies mail me off list and I will forward them.
