My point was truth in labeling. Habanero are not cayenne. Secondly if Dr Christopher was having success with a 40,000 HU cayenne, maybe heat is not so much a factor as is the type of herb that he used. Habanero's were certainly available for Dr Christopher to choose from. and Tabasco is readily available, affordable and with a well deserved reputation.
Finally, only a few have addressed my question of using a combination of CS and hot peppers BTW, Dennis did you ever try to just collect the oils form the peppers. Try heating for a long time just below boiling. The oil will come to the top and can be collected. That stuff will really be all hot. Ed Kasper LAc.

Almost every local grocery has fresh habanero peppers in the produce section for a reasonable price. I have purchased these, (when I run out of my homegrown chili peppers)dried and ground them up and they are noticeably hotter than the chili peppers. Dennis Ed Kasper wrote: ahhh ...

According to Curing with Cayenne, Schultz stated " ...Dr Christopher was using the low potency 40,000 unit cayenne...." page 41 tobasco is hotter than 40,000 Ed Kasper LAc.

It's not cayenne but frutescens. One can assume, or use whatever's at hand, I suppose, but we don't know for sure. Anything would be better than nothing?
