If anyone can help point me towards articles, resources, etc. regarding the [perceived, actual] health benefits of capsaicin I would appreciate it. The recent article on pain relief got me thinkin' :) Thank you, - -Michael -------------- Not sure of pain relief or articles, I know I have a Vitamin B-12 deficiency, AKA Pernicious Anemia, The first phase is poor blood circulation, If I don't eat chillies every few days, I wake up in the the middle of the night, with my hands feeling like baseball gloves. One article said only cayannes worked, my personal exposure is that Jals and Chimayo's work too. (for the mild folks) Just a couple of tsp of a mild salsa helps better than pills Just my own experience. L.B.
