Dear Kirk, One of your comments rang a bell. It is regarding stomach ulcers. Yes, there is now an indication that the ailment is bacterial and all that, but the cure is something to behold. The best approach (I have a track record of folks who have successfully done this) is to commence taking cayenne pepper in capsules. What happens is that when the cayenne pepper hits the stomach, it triggers the production of more mucous to provide a thicker protective lining in the stomach. This aids the ulcer area by acting as a barrier from the acid that is the ultimate irritant of the ulcer. Even though this is a CS list, I feel compelled to pass on what I know about good cures that work. Cayenne is right up there with CS and garlic as a miracle drug. Cayenne will tackle cardiovascular problems, no sweat! It will cure hemmoroids (piles) in about 3 months. I got rid of mine in about that time by taking 2 capsules a day for that period. Of course, I took the cayenne made from African Bird Peppers. Like it puts a whole new twist on the word hot. A caution. If you are going to take the stuff, you should observe the following: 1. Take it at breakfast. Swallow a few bites of whatever, take your usual pills and stuff and the cayenne capsules. Drink a glass of water. Then finish your breakfast. You should not get a belly ache. If you do, and you will know if you do, it will pass in about 30 minutes if you take in lots of water. That is the only side effect I know and it really is only a discomfort type of side effect. 2. Take the hottest you can find. 3. For "high altitude sickness" put a pinch of cayenne in a glass of water, stir and drink down. The nausea and headache will be gone in 15 minutes. If not take some more. It can sometimes take 3 glasses of cayenne water to whup up on it. 4. For cuts, put the cayenne directly on the wound. It will immediately stop the bleeding and the pain of the cut will disappear in about a minute. It will heal faster and leave little or no scar. 5. For infections in the mouth take the cayenne water as above in 3. and slosh it around in the mouth for a bit. Sure, it will burn a bit, but the relief from the ache in the mouth whether it be herpes or a tooth ache will be worth the brief burning sensation. Well, as usual I run on. There are some great writings out there by Heinermann and some others. Hope I've helped Jack
