Cool Bob.  I have not heard that, but it makes perfect sense.  When you
apply anything externally it gets taken directly to the blood stream and
passes the digestion process, so most all medicine and supplements works
better this way.

      Actually studies show that an external patch of capsaicin can also stop a 
heart attack.  It gets absorbed very quickly and by bypassing the mouth the hot 
sensation is eliminated.
