Cayenne Pepper Testimonials

Welcome to this cayenne pepper testimonials page. I've been thinking about putting up this page for a long time.

While the incredible stories about cayenne pepper serves in part to dispense testimonials, I thought it would be worthwhile to provide some evidence as to the efficacy of cayenne that people have experienced.

These testimonials came to me in an unsolicited manner.

After I received these emails, I asked the writer if I could have their permission to post their emails (in some cases, I've edited their emails for flow, grammar, spelling and punctuation).

Before I share these testimonials, first let me give some context.

Not long ago, a friend of mine told me he didn't believe the claims about the health benefits of cayenne pepper found at this website.

It's a fair point. My response to him was basically this: I like what the Bible says, "Prove all things..." So, admittedly, it takes some faith or belief to try cayenne -- or anything or any course of action actually -- for faith is the moving cause of all action.

At the end of the day its efficacy can only be proven by experimentation, or by taking that "leap of faith."

Someone will need to prove its effectiveness or disprove it. At least to a certain extent.

According to Dr. Patrick Quillin in his book, "The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper" (1998), there have been over 3,000 studies conducted on the health benefits of capsaicin and cayenne pepper (p. 6).

This is important for many still discount alternative or homeopathic medicine not to mention the health benefits and therapeutic power of medicinal herbs and spices.

Moreover, there are literally thousands of stories around the globe about the benefits of cayenne as well as hot peppers, and now even many modern-day scientific studies support and validate many medicinal herbs and spices' efficacy. That is certainly a step in the right direction of true healing.

Personally, I hope people are bold enough and "faithful" enough, if you will, to test cayenne for themselves for if one does, I am confident that they will see results. Many have all around the world.

That's why this cayenne pepper testimonials page (and incredible stories about cayenne pepper page) are so important. They're real. They're genuine.

I literally receive at least one email a day (actually more like three or four!) from someone either asking me questions regarding cayenne pepper or giving their own unsolicited experiences with this amazing medicinal spice or herb.

I've received emails from people all over the world, i.e., Bangladesh, India, Iceland, England, France, Germany, New Zealand, Israel, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Sweden and of course from people all over the United States. That's always fun for me as I've always enjoyed meeting people from other parts of the world.

Plus, it's always exciting and heart warming (no pun intended!) for me to receive such stories.

Before you check out these testimonials, I want to emphasize one thing here: All of these testimonials are genuine and on file. I personally asked each of the people if I could use their story in this page via email.

They graciously agreed for which I'm very grateful.

I'm a little embarrassed as a lot of the people that I asked don't appear here as I misplaced the emails (I've been collecting these for at least a year and a half). I've saved all of them but now have to read through an avalanche of emails to find them. So, more will be coming.

So, without further adieu, here they are.

Real Cayenne Pepper Testimonials

Nearly four years ago I had a stroke as a result of a 95% blockage of the left carotid artery, [I'm] lucky to be here. Had surgery and had it cleared as best they could, quote from a report then of a ultra-sound after that artery surgery, "The left side suggest the presence of severe carotid disease 70-79% stenosis (blockage). Just came from the doctor, today and [will] quote the latest ultra-sound report,  "No haemodynamically significant stenosis", it is virtually normal.  I have been taking no medication for this as there is none. I have been taking cayenne pepper for the last two years!!!  My wife Helen has AML, which is incurable. Eighteen months ago she was going downhill. Has been taking cayenne since then and is in remission. With her age and the nature of the disease everything should be against her. She started cayenne 18 months ago. Moral to the story, start taking the stuff -- they don't call it the "King of Herbs" for nothing. I am no longer on blood thinner medication, my blood pressure is on average 118 / 58 (Australia) heart rate around 60 p.m, cholesterol 8 months ago 2.8 and PSA test 2.5, I am 70 years old. Helen is my wife and is 71 years old. [She] was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia August 2009 and given perhaps 2 months to live, started on the cayenne after she finished chemo December 2009 and was only in remission for about 4 months after treatment. She was going back in for more blood and platelet transfusions and was on cayenne only about 6 weeks before that. When we went to the hospital and they did more blood tests they told us she didn't need blood. That was about 18 months ago and she is still in remission. The only medication has been the cayenne pepper. We both take one teaspoon in water same time every morning.  Bloody amazing, I think.

Wow, I would like to thank you for all your information on Cayenne Pepper. Recently, I’ve been having poor blood flow to my fingers. For example: I would scratch my head and it wouldn't really feel like it'd be scratching anything. Today, I just had a drink of the cayenne detoxification drink and immediately felt a difference. I scratched my head, for example, and felt my fingers working! I would like to thank you so much for all your beneficial information. If there’s any thing else I should know about cayenne please do share.

I have been using cayenne pepper for a while on and off. I used to use it mainly if I felt a cold coming on. I have recently been taking around 3/4 teaspoon in hot water to see if it made a difference to my blood pressure. I have suffered with piles or hemorrhoids for a long time and have noticed a serious difference in the last few days. The part about the doctor who administered the drink to heart attack cases was something I read quite some time ago. Keep up the good work.

I suffered a major heart attack in 1989 at the age of 41. Shortly after that I came across this book (Left for Dead) purely by accident. It was very believable. Purely on an act of faith (since I was also suffering from a severe, sometimes bleeding, ulcer) I went to health food store and bought cayenne capsules. I took them. Within three days my 10-year-old ulcer was completely healed...and since my original heart attack, have been symptom-free of coronary heart disease to this day. I am now 52. I credit...the healing properties of cayenne for saving my life.

Heinerman's Encyclopedia of Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs, states that The New England Journal of Medicine reported residents of Thailand had virtually no blood clot (thrombosis) problems.

They frequently use red pepper in their meals and this may be keeping them from getting blood clots! I found a way of keeping rats away on the PETA website. A mixture of cayenne pepper, horseradish, garlic and salad oil. Leave to steep and then spray around bins etc., it works.

Hello Glenn.

Just wanted to say thank you for the information you have put out on your website, along with your YouTube videos! Cayenne Pepper is truly the miracle herb. For several years now, I have been skeptical of the medical establishment due to their close-mindedness, constant pharmaceutical rallying and willful suppression of alternative medicine and treatments. My 86 year old grandfather receiving open heart surgery a year ago (single bypass & valve replacement) gave me an gut wrenching reality check that I need to do everything I can to stay healthy when it comes to the heart. Even at 24 years of age, I really wanted to find a way to maintain optimal cardiovascular health naturally - and that meant a strong bloodflow, clean arteries, and a safe, healthy blood pressure, all without medications.

It has been about 4 weeks since I discovered Cayenne Pepper through your website just by accident. After reading and watching your videos and reading your website material, I was convinced this could do some good for me. My local health food store carries Starwest Botanicals in all heat unit ranges (35k to 160k!) I started out with 35,000 (at 1/4 teaspoon). I am now at 90,000 (1/2 teaspoon as of today) I take this stuff RELIGIOUSLY every day literally because of the healthy 'buzz' it gives me.

The benefits are numerous and remarkable! Better REM sleep and more vivid dreams. Increased energy and alertness without the jittery feeling of coffee, along with a stronger pulse. (I can definitely feel it working on my heart the moment after its taken) Sporadic episodes of sharp chest pains which surfaced in the last few months due to stress have disappeared! I can attest to the powerful circulation abilities as well. Not only does every part of my body feel warm and balanced due to good circulation, Cayenne also has boosted my sexual libido and performance, allowing for harder and longer lasting erections, which are definitely a good marker of proper circulation.

Once again Glenn, I cannot thank you enough for what you've done. I am truly thankful for your inspirational and non-hyped presentation. Only if more people knew the RIGHT information, the wonders it could do for them and their health!

As a professional symphony/orchestra musician (my instrument is French Horn), almost all of us have to deal with 'nerves' for a performance/concert or audition. I have found taking a dosage of Cayenne water an hour to two hours before either one, keeps the adrenaline rush under control. I actually find myself more relaxed in a performance from the get go.

Just wanted you to know how helpful your YouTube videos on cayenne pepper were to my husband and me. I have wanted to take cayenne for years but did not have the nerve since onions and jalapeno peppers severely upset my digestive tract. Then last spring I read the book Left for Dead by Dick Quinn and now I really wanted to take cayenne. Anyway, last weekend I stumbled upon your cayenne videos (when I did a search on Slippery Elm) and you gave me the confidence to try. Guess what? It worked! I did it just the way you taught me to and I can take it! I started last Monday w/ 1/8th tsp in warm water........6 days later I can take a scant 1/4th tsp three times a day! I am so happy. Thank you so much for all your careful details in those videos. Just what I needed!

Dear Glenn:
I came across your site when Googling for information about Cayenne / Chilis. I first learned about this spice and its remarkable properties several years ago, I sprinkle it on my food either when available or when I remember to do so! Consequently, I have had mixed/weak results over the years.

Thank you so much for your website! Your suggestion to drink up to a teaspoonful (at present I can manage 3/4 of a spoon) has brought me far better results! I take it with freshly squeezed lime juice, a quarter spoon of powdered ginger (also good, as you'll know) and a spoonful of honey. No probs, it's quite delicious!The feeling of inner cleanliness after taking is quite wonderful.

However, I write today about something else. I have been suffering from severe itching for many years. The feeling is like an electrode or needle puncturing my skin which compels me to scratch VERY hard, 1-2mins later the scratch reappears just as before. It occurs on the inside of my elbow, on my forearm and on my lower shoulder, below my shoulder blade close to my armpit. The attacks occur during the day but also sometimes at night, awakening me from deep sleep. The only answer is to bear the stinging pain and it usually subsides within 15-20 mins IF I don't scratch again - which is very hard to do!

Your articles on blood circulation and wound healing gave me an idea to rub cayenne on to my itch. And. . . . It worked!! I experienced a relief that lasted up to 12 hours!

I have been particularly plagued with these scratches over the last week and have been very concerned that my deep, hard scratching could be causing internal nerve damage. Even though there are NO external marks, spots or anything else! My skin looks healthy and is healthy.

So, yesterday I stood in the shower, sprinkled the cayenne on to my hand and rubbed and worked it in. All over my arm, shoulder and neck. I should add that the scratching occurs in all those areas but it is the pinprick sharp itch that is by far the major problem.

It takes 5 mins or so before the cayenne goes to work . . . then you'll feel the heat with a vengeance! My skin went bright red. Wow, this stuff is HOT! But I persevered - because I am so sick of the itch!!!!!

I showered after 30 mins, YES, I waited THAT long!! The burning sensation caused by the Cayenne remained but within another 20 minutes my skin had returned to it's usual colour. Last night I slept well with NO scratching!

This morning I applied cayenne to a cloth, lightly showered then rubbed it in over the upper half of my body. To be honest, I thought I might have over-done it as I got very hot and red . . . Of course this time over a bigger area, though again, after 20 mins or so it cooled down and soon felt great. No itch! My skin feels great, I feel very relaxed.

I'm sitting drinking the cayenne tea as I write this.

Thank you Glenn. I will keep in touch to let you know if these great results continue.

The best of health to you!

Hello Glenn:

Just to add a few points I missed in my recent emails . . .Doctors have always diagnosed dry skin. Sometimes cream can work but the relief never lasts long. Pharmacists have recommended antihistamines. Again, some relief, but temporary. The problem comes back quickly and then the tabs no longer have any effect.

I have tried tea tree oil, tree sap (market vendor in NZ) and other assorted creams and lotions. Nothing works for more than a day or two. The INTENSE itching only started within the last year. First below my shoulder blade - on perfectly smooth and blotch free skin - then more recently on my forearm. Again, NO visible signs. None whatsoever.

I have suffered from scratchy arms for decades! Yes!! Though as it was never as intense, I have just put up with it. For all this time!!

The humidity in Asia can/does cause tickles/scratches as and when my body perspires. That's quite normal. Obviously, one has to pay close attention to hygiene - plus- avoiding strong soaps that can cause DRY skin.

I hope you can see that I'm ticking all the right boxes here?

Also advised: Change detergents and/or Fabric softeners.

Diet? I'm very much like your good self. I eat healthily, exercise and am aware of supplements to increase the immune system, etc.

There is nothing about my lifestyle that I can pin this itchiness too.

Oh, swimming. Yes I do, I even apply olive oil to my skin first if I have a problem to try and counteract it, though I don't see much connection there.

I purposely did NOT use cayenne on my body today. So far so good. I have suffered NO scratching now for 4-5 days since first applying cayenne (also locally sundried chili) to my skin. I started the treatment during a particularly bad attack of scratching that has lasted WEEKS!

Now: Gone!!

I strongly believe that we should and do know ourselves best, I rarely visit a doctor and have never been in hospital.

I can't tell you how happy and grateful I am for your website and advice.

The website I Googled before yours was www.wrong diagnosis.com and if you search there on itching you'll see the extent of the problem with many reports such as mine.

I have never heard of the term 'rubefacient' and am researching that this morning. Glenn, thanks again! Of course we can't say that Cayenne is THE answer, however, it worked for me!

And the drink is fantastic too!

Hi,
I came upon your site today and have enjoyed reading the information there.  I wanted to email you and tell you my experience with cayenne.  I take 100,000 SHU, 500mg capsules and have worked up to 3 capsules 3 times a day with each meal.  Before I began taking cayenne, I had numbness and pain in my lower legs, ankles, feet and toes.  This started a year or so ago after I was diagnosed with high blood sugar and high blood pressure.  It has gotten progressively worse to the point that the pain and numbness in my feet made me stop my daily 30 minute walks. 
 
I started taking the cayenne because I had read of the benefits to my heart and circulatory system.  After only 3 days on the cayenne, I noticed that the pain and numbness in my feet was a lot better.  Within a week the pain and numbness has subsided about 80% and was able to walk for 30 minutes without a problem.  I assume that the cayenne is having a great impact on my circulation.  I am hoping it will do the same for my blood pressure so that I can get off the medication.  I am currently taking Diovan.  I will keep you posted of other changes I notice from taking the cayenne.
 
Also, I wanted to ask about taking the capsules.  I read somewhere that it is a waste of time taking capsules and that the only way to get the benefits if from drinking the powder mixed with water.  I really like the convienence of taking the capsules and the only difference I see is that taking the powder simply gets the cayenne in my system faster.  Please tell me it is OK for me to keep taking the capsules.
 
Thanks,

Glenn:
When I started taking the cayenne a month ago, not only did I notice an improvement in the numbness, pain and burning in my feet, I also noticed an improvement in the symptoms of heart disease I was having.  Keep in mind that I am taking a teaspoon of 100,000 SHU cayenne 3 times a day, everyday.  
 
On Tuesday of last week, I woke up feeling strange.  All during the day I was having nagging chest pain, not bad but bothersome, and my heartbeat was irregular.  I was sitting at my desk at about 4pm and starting having some serious pain and tightness in my chest.  I am pretty sure I was having a heart attack.  I didn't panic, but I began to pray.  It got worse.  I was considering calling 911 when I suddenly remembered what I had read about Dr. Christopher and how he said he never lost a patient to a heart attack by using the cayenne.
 
Luckily, I keep a container of cayenne powder at my desk (and in my car, my briefcase and at home) for just such a situation.  (I never thought I would have to use it on my self)  I went into the kitchen across the hall and mixed 1 rounded teaspoon of cayenne with about 6oz of very warm water and chugged it.  I noticed right away that I felt better and the pain subsided somewhat.  I went back to my desk and in about 30 minutes the pain increased a little.  I figured I had nothing to loose, so I again took another heaping teaspoon of cayenne in about 6oz warm water and chugged it.  From then through the rest of the night, if I felt even a hint of discomfort in my chest, I repeated the teaspoon of cayenne in the 6oz of warm water.  I did it five times from the time the attack started until I went to bed.  I slept like a baby.  The next day I felt good as new.  It was a miracle as far as I was concerned.  I don't know if there was a clot or blockage and the cayenne dissolved it or what.  All I know is it worked.  I think the key was that I didn't panic.  If I had panicked, there is no telling what would have happened.

Well, from now on, at the first sign of any pain in my chest, I am heading for the cayenne.  I won't wait until it gets worse.  In the days since that incident I have felt stronger and I rarely have any chest pain and my breathing is fuller and easier.  I am sold on cayenne.  I will take if for the rest of my life.  I just wish I had known about it when my mother was suffering with heart disease. 
 
I'm not sure you can use any of this because it is not documented.  Some may say that I probably didn't have a heart attack, that it was probably gas.  But all I know is how I felt and I know the difference between "gas" pain and a heart attack.  With gas I don't think you don't have pain radiating down your arm and you heart doesn't beat radically and you don't have cold sweats and shortness of breath...all of which I had that day.

Anyway, for what it is worth, I just wanted you to know.  I can not wait to see what happens in my body next.  It is hard to believe that cayenne has so many uses and will work on so many things.

Hello again,

I have spoken to you before regarding cayenne pepper. I used to take it some time ago, and after stopping for a while, I recently started taking it again. I had an experience today which I thought was wroth letting you know about. I have for some time had problems with indigestion through eating things that don't agree with me. When I say indigestion I don't mean the burning sensatio that usually is experienced, but an incredible pain in my chest, shoulder and arms. I had capsules from my gp which helped me through this, but I ran out of supplies a month ago, and as I haven't had a problem lately, I didn't go an replenish my supply. Today, however, I ate something that set my indigestion off and I was in total distress with the pains in my body. I went and drank a spoonful of cayenne in half a mug of water and within 3 minutes, the pain had subsided. In 10 minutes, it had gone completely. Thank you for thaking the time to read this email!

Yours in health,

Hi Glenn,
Thank you for replying. Cayenne has definitely helped my husband and I too feel better -- his blood pressure was on the border line but has now come down to a safe level!!! (Had check up today.)

Hi Glenn,

I have read your site with great interest I have been using cayenne for about six months now. I have a question for you that I can’t find an answer to on your site is it OK to take the cayenne in cold water. I have tried it with the warm water but too be honest I did not like it that way, I take a teaspoon every day now and feel great against the doctor’s advice I slung my cholesterol tablets away. Since then, my bloods have been checked and my cholesterol has dropped from six to four, whilst taking the tablets it was still a constant six with the doctor upping the dosage every time. I don’t know if you have ever taking these awful drugs but they made me feel terrible so any chance to get off them was a bonus. Anyway enough about me thank you for all of the wonderful info on your site most of my family and friends now take your advice.

Thanking you in advance,

I just read all your posted testimonials about cayenne, and wanted to put in my two cents. For over three years, I have been taking 3/4 teaspoon cayenne powder daily in water with my meta-mucil and fruit juice. I take it after breakfast.

I started taking it for blood circulation, and after about a year, I began to notice less sinus congestion at night, and now i almost never experience any congestion. I used to suffer every night from it to the point I had trouble sleeping, rolling back and forth to relieve congestion on one side of my nose, or the other.

One other thing. Some years back I had a bad infection that was treated with massive doses of anti-biotics, and after that I had chronic loose bowels. Since the cayenne, no more problems.
I am an 85-year old man, and have always weighed around 120 to 130 lbs, which I still weigh, and is the reason I don't take the full teaspoon of cayenne a day.

I don't take any prescription drugs, and my B\P is around 130\65, Cholesterol is OK I guess.

Glenn:
Last summer the doctor told me that I have advanced C.O.P.D. -- that I have a life expectancy of two years. No problem. The drug the doctor prescribed causes bone pain and stiffness of finger joints. It brags that it will kill you if taken for any length of time (no time frame mentioned). When I took the doses, I would gasp for air. I could barely walk because I could not breath. I spent  my summer badly. In Sept. of 2010, I was steaming veggies and burned my finger. A steam burn under  the knuckle is hard to heal. I don't know why I pulled the cayenne pepper(30K) from my spice rack and drank a tsp. in warm water. I shook my head and went on with the day.  About an hour later the bone pain was gone and I could move my thumb. The next morning the burn was gone without a scab or mark on my flesh. I was amazed. I bought the 90k HU from my health food store and so many good cures have happened since I started drinking it that I haven't the space to relate them. I also take garlic every other day. As for the drug, I stopped taking it several days ago. No gasping, no stopping to breath every few steps. I give the credit to the cayenne pepper.

Hello, you should add that the cayenne pepper capsules can help people with the Raynoud desease. My hands and feet were constantly ice cold!...so winter it's been very difficult for me. I have been drinking Cayenne capsules for 5 days now. There is snow outside so you can imagine is very cold and risky! I have been normal, my hands are warm, their color is nice and pink for already 5 days! Absolutely amazing! I can't beiieve it. GET THE WORD AROUND and I hope this will help others like me! CAYENNE PEPPER is WONDERFUL to keep you warm! I have been normal, my hands are warm, their color is nice and pink! Absolutely amazing!

I quit smoking about 2 years ago and since then I've been having this phlegm-associated cough that I've been ignoring because I kept thinking it would pass but it never did. I finally went to the doctor. She gave me this stupid inhaler called Qvar. All I got out of it was the side effects with dry lips, dry throat -- also read that it weakens my inmune system, etc. Then I ran into your videos online and was still skeptical but knew I had nothing to lose here. I went to an Albertsons and got some organic cayenne red pepper.

The first day I didn't notice anything. I really thought I wasted my time. The second day up to now (wait, let me mention that I do have asthma since elementary school, I'm 28 now) my nasty cough is much cleaner and phlegm free and have never touched my asthma inhaler even while working out since then and its been about a month now. I did more research about cayenne and found that it kills cancer cells in the lungs. One more thing. I came down with a severe flu and only fought it for one day, my skeptical co-worker got it from me and ended up fighting it for a week.  BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEOS AND THE INFO YOU PUT OUT YOU SAVED MY TIME, MONEY, POSSIBLY EVEN MY LIFE. JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

Hello Glenn:
I haven't been in touch for a while, because I didn't have much news. But today, I had my blood pressure checked. What a surprise! It used to always be in the high safe range. Today it's 129/088 and pulse is 103. I lost 18 pounds in 5 months. I used to be 288lb. Now I'm 270lb. Not bad for a 66 year old guy. I haven't really changed my eating habits much, except I can't eat as much as I could before. I have also completely been able to eliminate soft drinks, & french fries, from my diet. Never thought I would do that. My coffee consumption is down by 75% of  what it used to be. Some of the fast foods I used to love, are becoming repulsive now. I believe that the 90,000SHU of organic Cayenne Pepper is playing a major roll in my search for good health. I maintail 1 tsp. 90,000SHU  in 4 oz. of distilled water after every meal. I even have small containers of cayenne pepper to take with me now, whenever I eat out. Once again...you are the best. I'm so grateful to your site, and it helped to make a very informed decision, which has improved my life tremendously. If you wish to post this testimonial somewhere...you have my permission.
your friend always...

I would like to thank-you for your well thought out, informative, and easy to read cayenne pepper web site. I was having mild heart palpitations every now and then, worked myself up to 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne 4 times a day and the palpitations stopped. Of course other side benefits like more energy, less aches and pains were also a happy relief.  My SURPRISE came after about 2 weeks on cayenne, I took my usual 1/4 teaspoon, started stomach cramping (unusual), and headed for the toilet. After finishing a very loose #2, I found 2 worms about 4 inches long! This could have been happening for a while, trust me I don't normally look! I was shocked! Maybe you could address the parasite issue with a header of its own on your web site. Cayenne pepper is changing my health rapidly for the better.  Thank you so much for your efforts.

I had a question have you ever heard of applying cayenne directly to hemorrhoids? I recently did and the effect was immediate with 40,000BTU but I wonder if there would be long-term effects of doing so.

Mind you anyone reading this it does burn like hell for about a hour or so BUT it shrank the size of my deep dark purple ones by about 3/4 and took all the pain away the next day. If such a cure helps someone who is having trouble than it was worth the time to test it out. I will mention best results have been application every other day as far as keeping the skin from getting sensitive.

Two years ago I had keyhole surgery on my right knee due to torn cartilage some of, which was removed leaving me with a permanently swollen knee and a slight limp. I also suffered with joint stiffness in both knees especially the one that had been operated on.  I also suffer with swollen joints in my hands due to osteoarthritis. Having read about cayenne I thought I would give it a go.  The results have been absolutely remarkable.  All swelling in my knee has gone and I no longer suffer with any joint stiffness. Incidentally, I recently I recently had a cholesterol and blood pressure test and was amazed to find my cholesterol level had dropped from 6.6 to 3 and I have perfect blood pressure. I have always been very skeptical about the various claims for herbal and plant derived  products ( I am a retired chemist/researcher) and consequently have read quite a lot of the original research papers related to cayenne. I am truly astounded by the results.  I also was a marathon runner up until 50 years of age and am now 63.  My knee is in such good shape I intend taking up running again. This is truly a remarkable substance and I have recommended it to many of my friends.

My friend has cured his prostate cancer using cayenne pepper, he had stage 4 prostate cancer and the doctors gave him 6 months to live....he is cancer free today almost 2 years after diagnosis. I completely agree with everything you have said in this video, thank you for getting the word out there!

Wow My wife and I are over 50 and we started to take cayenne to see if it would help anything.  So guess what? It keeps my wife awake and that's big.  She has narcolepsy, but now she just takes a capsule before each meal and her sleepy days are gone.  Before, the doctors had her on all the different drugs and that’s, what she felt like -- drugged up.  Thanks for your site, this spice is amazing.  Nick and Cindy (she’s awake)!
