Well, Mr. King, I think that you should not call anyone a quack, who
advocates the use of capsaicin for medical problems. I can prove to you
that it works for arthritis as a topical application. I refuse to
accept that all things herbal are the greatest, but I also refuse to
accept that they are useless, or the work of quackery. The use of chiles
is now so widespread, that if they did no good at all, it would be very
hard to believe. I think that time will tell, just how good the chile is
in many different applications, all it will take, is a few dedicated
medical folk, who also are chile heads. Not so long ago, anyone who ate
chiles, was asking for stomach ulcers, until it was proven that the
capsaicin killed the bugs that were causing the ulcers. This was
documented here,a few years ago, if my ancient memory serves me. Never
mind, Rael!!! Cheers, Doug in BC, a believer!!
