Although capsaicin seems to have a reputation for anti-inflammatory effects, my guess is it only achieves 2 things for colds/flus: 1) temporary decongestion and 2) tiring out your cells so they can't go back to generating stuff (mucous, inflammatory response, etc.). More sane decongestants aren't as hard on your cells. So it's possible you'll get longer, but still temporary, relief from capsaicin. But my guess isn't justified. So grain of salt and all.
And you get desensitized to peppers pretty quick, I think. So eating ghost pepper 3 times a day ain't really gonna help. But, hey, if you enjoy it, do it. On 8/20/22 20:48, Gillian Densmore wrote:

My...80+/- question now is: is their actually anything to enjoying the occasionally ridiculously spiced bowl of chilled to help? or is that just because of the pepper buzz takes your mind off mild aches from colds?Ridiculously hot as in Jalapaneos with some Ghostpepper... tasty-once you, know, you get past the 7infernos of hades while also asking, why on earth youlike eating a fireball coated in chilli stuff. Pubmed was all like: all you buddy. I seriously doubted forums. But Jalapenos have a lot vitamin C- but does that even do anything though??🤔 oO ?
