Brickey... Interesting about the pill form causing GERDs. As for taking two tsp 
right off,
that's pretty good, or brave... my brother who doesn't normally take cayenne 
had maybe a
half a tsp in some salsa and just an hour later he came out of the bathroom 
with tears in
his eyes and walking with legs wide apart; his butt was on fire for hours. I 
was laughing
so hard it brought tears to me eyes. I'm sure it was good for his system, but 
he thinks
I'm nuts (suits me:-).

Tabasco seems pretty wimpy to me after using the powder, and I don't especially 
like the
vinegar taste on some things, but I suspect if it gives the effect then it's 
beneficial. I
sure can't say that cayenne tastes better than tabasco, but mixed with some 
juice it goes
down pretty easy. On Mr. Tracy's list the gauntlet has been thrown down for 
someone to try
the UDAP bear pepper spray (3 million SHU) but no takers yet. As for eye 
droppers, I
believe there are 70 drops in a regulation eye dropper. There are 360 drops to 
an ounce
and six teaspoons to an ounce, so that works out to 60 drops to a teaspoon, so 
perhaps a
dropper full would be a rounded teaspoon?  Dr. Schulze's sauce that I've made 
is a
tincture using peppers, vodka or pure grain, and a blender (I used a juicer). 
In an
emergency situation (heart attack, stroke, etc.) it would be a lot faster and 
easier to
get the cayenne into someone's system in the tincture form than mixing it with 
water, plus
he says the alcohol speeds its absorption.

And yes, I would continue using the CS regardless, especially in these times.
