I am very interested. How many mg of cayenee pepper was in the capsules and how many did you start out with (in mg)and how many mg was your goal.

Thank you for the post.  We have a good friend fighting prostate cancer right now and have forwarded the information.  I know this is a cs site but you never know when another alternative posted really makes a difference in someone's health/life.

I   refused & starting doing research. I found a Cedars-Sinai Medical   Center/UCLA School of Medicine study that said that capsaicin (the   stuff that makes pepper hot) fed to rats bred to have human prostate   cancer had caused the tumors to die! I have included a link to a good   recap of the study.   I immediately started taking cayenne pepper capsules daily. I took the   equivalent human dose from the study & made that my goal. I gradually   consumed more each week until I reached what I thought was the right   dose (enough cayenne to equal about 5 habanera peppers per day).   Last month I decided to see a urologist to see what was involved in   "Watchful Waiting"   - he wanted to do another biopsy since it had   been two years - I agreed & the results came back clean - they found   no cancer - not a trace! My doctor was stunned & said that in 18 years   he had never seen such a result. We had it double checked & there were   no cancerous cells found.   I am confident it was the cayenne that made the tumor shrink to an   undetectable size or disappear - given the study results.   I plan to keep taking it indefinitely & I recommend it to any male who   has been diagnosed with either BPH or any cancer, as it seems to be   effective against ANY cancer. "   I found this explanation of how it works:    Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is the active chemical   compound found in the seeds and fruit of chili peppers of the Capsicum   genus such as cayenne pepper. This pepper provides numerous health   benefits. Capsicum is traditionally used for muscular pain, headaches,   to improve circulation and for its gastrointestinal protective   effects? It is also commonly added to herbal formulations because it   acts as a catalyst for other herbs and aids in their absorption.   Many scientific studies have revealed the exciting potential   anti-cancer abilities of capsaicin. Although the exact mechanism(s) is   unclear, capsaicin has been shown to induce apoptosis in many   different types of cancer cells. Apoptosis is a natural form of cell   death that occurs in old or damaged cells that need to be replaced by   new, healthier cells.   Capsaicin has been shown to protect the stomach from various types of   damage by affecting gastric mucosal blood flow as well as mucosal and   bicarbonate secretions. It also has been shown to cause DNA   fragmentation and subsequent apoptosis in human gastric adenocarcinoma   cells by reducing the _expression_ of a cellular protein that inhibits   apoptosis (Bcl-2). Research shows that the number of abnormal cells   killed increased with greater doses of capsaicin. According to this   study, capsaicin induces apoptosis in abnormal cells by inhibiting   NADH-plasma membrane electron transport system by acting as a quinine   analog. Cells generate most of the energy (ATP) that they need to   survive and reproduce via this electron transport chain, which occurs   in the mitochondria (also known as the powerhouse) inside cells. If   this system is disrupted, the cell cannot generate enough ATP to   sustain itself, and the cell dies. By disrupting the electron   transport chain, capsaicin decreases the amount of energy that is   available to cancer cells, and these cells cannot continue to   proliferate. Cancer cells require more energy than normal cells,   because they are growing and dividing more rapidly than normal cells.   A reduced supply of energy caused by capsaicin can have a major impact   on abnormal cells.   In a recent study conducted at the University of Nottingham, capsaicin   was shown to bind to proteins in the mitochondria of abnormal cells   and trigger apoptosis without being harmful to surrounding normal   cells.   This anti-carcinogenic mechanism is surprisingly similar to how NSP   Paw Paw Cell-Reg works.   Dr. Pramod Srivastava and his colleagues conducted a study in which   they discovered that capsaicin triggered apoptosis in human pancreatic   cancer cells, one of the most difficult types of cancer to treat.   Capsaicin increased the number of apoptotic proteins and reduced tumor   size in cancerous pancreatic cells but did not negatively affect   normal pancreatic cells.   Another study showed that capsaicin inhibited the growth of leukemic   cells possibly by causing an increase in the production of reactive   oxygen species inside the abnormal cells, which leads to apoptosis.   Capsaicin did not inhibit the growth of normal cells.   Capsaicin has also shown effectiveness in inhibiting ovarian and   breast cancer cells in vitro by decreasing the activity of NADH   oxidase, an enzyme needed for the production of ATP or cellular   energy.   A recent study has shown that capsaicin induced human prostate cancer   cells to undergo apoptosis by inhibiting NF-Kappa Beta, a mechanism   that leads to the _expression_ of certain genes that are involved in   inflammation and the development of cancer. This same study   demonstrated that capsaicin slowed prostate cancer cells by regulating   androgen receptors on the cells and decreased the production of PSA   produced by the abnormal cells.   Recent studies have also demonstrated that capsaicin inhibited the   ability of some chemical carcinogens to bind to DNA3, suggesting that   capsaicin may have cancer preventative properties.   Capsaicin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA in the   United States when used orally and topically in an appropriate manner.   Capsaicin is found in foods that have a long history of being used in   the human diet without harm. This fact lends support to its good   safety profile. Capsaicin and other vanilloid compounds show strong   evidence of having promising potential in the fight against many types   of cancer.   -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
