Cayenne Pepper and Heart Trouble
Dr. John Christopher, famous natural healer, praised the use of
Cayenne throughout the time of his practice. He had this to say in his
Newsletter titled "Cayenne", Vol 1,
Number 12
"In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I
have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is,
whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of
cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutes
they are up and around). This is one of the fastest acting aids we could ever
give for the heart, because it feeds that heart immediately. Most hearts are
suffering from malnutrition because of processed food we are eating, but here
it gets a good powerful dose of real food and it's something that has brought
people in time after time. This is something that everyone should know how
great it is, because a heart attack can come to your friends or loved ones
any time. And even yourself. The warm tea is faster working than tablets,
capsules, cold tea, because the warm tea opens up the cell structure--makes
it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster, and it goes directly to
the heart, through the artery system, and feeds it in powerful food.
To show the value of cayenne, and how great it is, and what a wonderful
heart food it is, this story has been repeated in a number of publications on
doctors in the East who put some live heart tissue into a sterile beaker
filled with distilled water, and fed it nothing but cayenne pepper, cleaning
off sediments periodically and adding nothing but distilled water from
natural evaporation. During the time that they were feeding the heart tissue,
they would have to trim it continually every few days because it would grow
so rapidly. Having no control glands (pituitary and pineal glands), the
tissue just continued to grow rapidly and, because of this, they had to watch
it over the years and the doctors and associates kept the heart tissue alive
for fifteen years. After the doctor died, his associates kept it alive for
two more years before destroying it so they could do more research work on
it. This shows the high food value cayenne gives to heart tissue. This is why
so many, many amazing instances have come to light, people who have used
cayenne when they had heart attacks because, in most cases, your heart attack
is a case of malnutrition. The heart hasn't had a decent meal for so long
that it is practically starved, and we give it immediately a good meal
instead of whipping it with nitroglycerine or
digitalis or some other type of drug to force it to beat rapidly to bring
more food values to the heart so that it could find a little help to keep
going. Here we give the cayenne directly to the system, and it goes into the
heart area acting as a good full meal. Many fast responses come from
this."
Historical or traditional use of cayenne
The potent, hot fruit of cayenne has been used as medicine for centuries.
It was considered helpful for various conditions of the gastrointestinal
tract, including stomachaches, cramping pains, and
gas. Cayenne was frequently used to treat diseases of the circulatory system.
It is still traditionally used in herbal medicine as a circulatory tonic (a
substance believed to improve circulation). Rubbed on the skin, cayenne is a
traditional, as well as modern, remedy for rheumatic pains and arthritis due
to what is termed a counterirritant effect. A counterirritant is something
which causes irritation to a tissue to which it is applied, thus distracting
from the original irritation (such as joint pain in the case of arthritis).
