Cayenne Pepper!!!
January 14 2007 at 1:16 AM Susan (no login)
I am a giganto nutrition freak. I ask a lot of questions to Dr. Rich Gorris - a professional nutritionist - and I asked him about increasing the quality of blood circulation. He had one answer: CAYENNE. I took him up on it before I started my NBE program. I had Hemorrhoids (which 1 in every 3 women have). He told me to up my cayenne intake. I did, and in 3 weeks, they were gone. I stopped my intake, and now they're back. I'm going to start back up on my cayenne along with my NBE program with high hopes that the cayenne will work with my massage and herbs.


*Cayenne is an all-natural vasodilator, opening blood vessels so that circulation is enhanced, resulting in normalizing your blood pressure and allowing vitalized blood to reach areas that it may not typically reach due to poor circulation.

Hi!

How much should a person consume daily? My circulation could use some improvement. I tend toward cold hands and feet.

@Lilea - I read somewhere that the normal dose of cayenne is from 30 to 120 mg 3 tmes per day - quite low, as cayenne is very hot and causes sickness and vomiting at to high doses. but how high that is depends on the person. I think that it's ok to take some more, I started out with 200 mg 3 times per day after a meal to not get an upset stomach. But about two weaks afetr starting cayenne, I noticed that I can take higher dose now and not have any problems, as if my stomach became even more resistant, so now I take arround 350 - 400 mg in one dose. I think it's best to try up to how much you can take without upseting your stomach and stick to that and later see if you can maybe slowly increase the dose.

Susan, you said cayenne might be helpful in massage... So do you think if I dumped a capsule or two in my massage cream and rubbed it right on it would be good for NBE?

I would think it would irritate and burn your skin... I know just touching some peppers stings my fingers. I would think heat applied to skin would be alot less irritating but I think it's meant to be taken internally.

I agree with Snowdropsfalling. I fill the capsules myself and sometimes my fingers burn, especially when it gers behind my nails. Cayenne acts great inside the blood, but inside surrounding tissues I think it could have a series of unpleasent effects.

I've been sprinkling some cayenne in my booby batter since I started with my program. Because of the oils, there is no burning sensation. I did have more tingles using it in the batter, but I also did add EPO the same day. So not sure.

January 16 2007, 11:30 PM

I did use this awhile back (powder form) in my massages and then wrap up with saran wrap and after about 30min or so with the saran wrap on, the cayenne pepper heated up and was actually burning cause it was so hot, not so much that I couldn't stand it though..I stopped using it cause I got paranoid that maybe that was too hot for my skin and was actually working against me. I think I remember SugarQ saying she used the cayenne extract in her massages before..along with listening to hypnosis for a month or two and grew like an inch, so maybe cayenne extract might be good in small quantities. Please correct me if I'm wrong SugarQ about you using it.

Cayenne powder has been used by researchers in Antarctica to help them bare the extremely cold temperatures. The Cayenne powder is sprinkled into the boots before putting them on. As the powder slowly comes in contact with the skin through the socks, it will draw blood to the feet, thus bringing much needed warms to the extremities.

Just something I found on a totally non nbe related site

Wonder if there is a way you can sprinkly the powder into the bra, but keep it from coming in direct contact with the skin? Like maybe were the padding is or special pouches? It would make a mess, but, you would avoid burning your skin, because it would slowly come in contact with your skin, instead of all at once.

I'm currently taking Cayenne and I just thought I would chime in. On one of the websites containing information about Cayenne and its woderful powers, the author said that Cayenne increases the matabolism by about 25% because of the increased blood flow. Increased blood flow does not "add" fat and in actuality, helps burn fat by heating the body.

Best to all,
Amanda

Yeah, about the metabolism being increased. Very true. It's used in a lot of diets for that purpose. My boyfriend didn't know about that extra bonus and after 10 days of being on cayenne, he reported to me that he had quick weight loss and a faster metabolism. It showed.

Remember ladies, one the many good things about cayenne is that it
gets the nutrition (from food and herbs) deep into places that is
a little malnourished.
Cayenne should make your herbs, BO and gelatine (collagen)
more effective.
So it should not matter if your are a bit tubby or skinny,
slow or fast metabolism, cayenne can only be good for you.

You're absolutely right about the cayenne pepper. That's one of the ingredients I used too. It definately improves circulation and that is so important if we want our breasts to grow because it is the blood that brings the essential nutrients to the breasts so they can grow.

Thanks to Alcest and Moon for emphasizing/bringing up the importance of blood circulation.
I decided to go with the CAYENNE as it seems to be highly recommended from medical herbalists as well.
I also found this link (http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxificati...ayenne.htm), which talks about how taking it in powder form is MUCH better than in capsule.

However, I know that the strongest form to take is in 90,000 units I believe? It was said in Alcests post about circulation to take it in tincture. How do you find something like this in powder form with that high of units? And how much do you know (teaspoon wise) to take?

Hey,
Your post there says the website you went to said it's better to take it in powder form than in capsule form... except capsules are in powder form. And once the capsule breaks open in your stomache, or wherever, the powder is released. Maybe they meant tablets? Since tablets have more extract than powder I thought. Ack I'm confused.

I take the cayenne in capsules from my local hfs. Same with ginko. My saw palmetto is in liquid extract gel tabs, and the wonderup is in tablets.

I just figure they all work, just different ways of working.

Cayenne migh be hard on the stomach so take it with food. Some people migh develop excess production of gastric acid because of aking herbs, like I did. Luckily I was perscribed pills for reduction of gastric acid production so i'm able to continue with NBE. But anyway, if somone gets upset stomach cause of cayenne, check with your doc.

hi,
i take cayenne with wonderup so it gos thru my blood stream better
does anyone know if it's good to take cayenne pills before or after i eat so it burns the food i eat into my blood steam?

also should i take cayenne an hour or so before i take wonderup or an hour after taking my wonderup?
because if i take it before wu an hour before it could melt in my stomach and then when i take the wu it will melt right away and go or..
if i take cayenne an hour after taking my wu pills it could still be in my stomach (the wu) and the cayenne would burn it right away into my blood stream.

Great way to increase blood circulation with your massage! I have hemorrhoids. A nutritionist told me to take 2 cayenne pills 3X a day to increase my blood circulation and to rid me of my hemorrhoids. I did (ON A FULL STOMACH!) and in three weeks, my hemorrhoids were gone. I immediately stopped the cayenne and now the hemorrhoids are back and my circulation is slow. I'm now on cayenne again, along with my NBE program - I have full confidence that the cayenne will also work well with my breast growth. Let the experiment begin!





(INFO ON CAYENE FROM ROEX.COM BELOW)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Cayenne Pepper Fruit (Capsicum frutescens) is perhaps the most healing plant in the herbal kingdom.* Each capsule delivers 500 mg of this blood-warming herb that has an invigorating effect on your digestion and the heart and circulatory systems. It may help keep cholesterol levels in check as well as acting as a catalyst to increase the effectiveness of other herbs when used together.*

* Capsaicin, cayenne’s most active ingredient has been shown to increase blood flow to the gastric mucosal membrane and may provide protection from peptic ulcers. This increased circulation in the stomach and intestines stimulates the normal flow of digestive juices assisting your body’s defenses against stomachaches and cramping pains.*
*

Cayenne is an all-natural vasodilator, opening blood vessels so that circulation is enhanced, resulting in normalizing your blood pressure and allowing vitalized blood to reach areas that it may not typically reach due to poor circulation.*
*

Cayenne has also been shown to help manage cholesterol levels by reducing fat deposits in the arteries, which causes the narrowing of the vessels as they become thick and solidified.*

Cayenne improvess blood supply to all tissues. Blood flow is what directly determines how much of the herbal substances you take actually bind to the receptors. Increase the flow, more molecules will bind. That way, you will get a stronger effect and possibly faster results! I very much recomend cayenne to any kind of herbal program.

Cayenne isn't for all...
December 23 2007, 6:32 PM

I've seen some sad stories about cayenne not quite working out (burns, etc).
So I'd just add the comment to give cayenne a TRY only. If your stomach is upset or your skin burns- it's not for you!
Cayenne is like a metabolizing aid, but for some it's just too much of a good thing.

Re: Girls, add cayenne!! (once again emphasising the importance of cayenne)
December 23 2007, 8:20 PM

It's a known fact that cayenne is a different herb - a burning herb, and therefore recquires different consideration, and particulary different dosing - it must be taken in smaller doses, like 100, 200 or 300 mg, ideally several times a day to get a sufficient daily ammount. It's known that cayenne causes burning, nausea and vomiting at too high doses. But this is more a matter of correct administration, then an adverse reaction / not being for everyone. The maximum recomended dose may very between individuals and it should be determined by ramping up. I can get away with maximum 400 mg, but usually I take arround 300 mg. Sadly tho, many manufacturers of herbal products don't take the characteristics of cayenne into consideration, or are ignorant about them, and they make too high dose capsules, so one must pay attention to that when chosing the product.
Anyway, there has been a lot of talk about cayenne administation so I left it out. It is almost a separate subject that of course recquires to be learnt if one wants to take cayenne.

Helpful Advice Regarding Cayenne
January 9 2007 at 8:15 PM Ann5 (Login Ann5)

While doing some reading about cayenne I came across this article that Dr. Schulze wrote about Cayenne. It says to take cayenne orally not in capsules, it's more beneficial to the body by taking it orally. I remember reading about that long ago with herbs in general. That it's best to let the mouth do it's job so that the stomach doesn't get shocked. Here's an excerpt of the article, for those of us who will be taking cayenne I just thought it would be good to note this. One of the members (can't remember the name) who had taken cayenne even after a meal had stomach problems. So maybe you could try this and see if it helps.

Quote:
This wasn't the way the old-time herbalists practiced. It wasn't the way my teacher, the late Dr. John Christopher, practiced. He got his results with teas and tinctures.


Capsules disconnect people from the herbs they take, so that they have no personal idea whether they are getting good or lousy quality. Capsules also prevent people from getting a reaction in their mouths, which was what Nature intended.


Another great reason not to take cayenne in capsules is that they can make you real sick. They won't cause permanent damage, but you can suffer greatly. Capsules can give you a stomach cramp that will double you over.


When you put cayenne in your mouth, your stomach secretes digestive juices before the cayenne ever gets there. So when the cayenne gets down there, your stomach is all ready for it.

But if you swallow a capsule, your tongue tastes nothing; a capsule goes down in your stomach, and your stomach notices nothing - at first. Then, five minutes later the gelatin bursts, and you have a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in your stomach and your body goes into shock. You surprised it. "Where did this come from?"


"When You Take Cayenne in Capsules, You Get a Punch in the Stomach.
It's a Very Different Reaction. It's Like NO Warm-up or Stretch
Before You do Vigorous Physical Exercise."


Here's the link if someone wants to read further.

This is a found a relatively easy way to take cayenne.
Get a half kilo of soft butter mix in about 2 to 4
teaspoons (depending on how much heat you can handle).
Put it in the fridge.
Load up a little cracker biscuit with the cold hot butter and
send it down the hatch 3 to 5 times a day.
The pepper is still hot but easy on the stomach.
In fact you will start looking forward to this hot little snack.

I sometimes take it in capsule form and sometimes I just add the pepper with some juice. I open a 900mg capsule and use half (slowly adding more each day) it with some liquid.

By the way has anyone noticed a laxative effect with taking the cayenne? I'm afraid I'll be pooing my BErs out?!? When would be the best time to take it? Usually I take my herbs on an empty stomache and wait about 15 minutes for the cayenne. Would it be better to take the cayenne first or wait longer to use the cayenne? Confused really.

I can't get empty copsules anywhere, so I usually empty one of the herbs capsules and put cayenne in it and swallow it. The herb content I emptied I mix with honey and swallow with watter in a few small pieces. I sometimes also mix cayenne with honey and swallow it with water. It's feasible, cause honey really traps it and doesn't allow it to solute in the mouth and doesn't burn much. honey is excellent for swallowing everything that tastes disgusting, I also use it for bee pollen.

In case some people didn't read the article, it says not to take cayenne in a capsule, but to mix it in a drink instead. That might take care of some of the burning and laxative effect issues. I'm sure the butter on a cracker technique serves the same purpose.

I ordered some from Mountain Rose herbs, but the package says 20,000 heat units- pretty poor quality as far as most of the info on the net says. I've put it in V8 (very good!) and in coffee with cream and peppermint extract (awesome!)

Now, to find some of the "good" stuff...

My question is that it was just cayenne that I purchased at the grocery in the spice section, is this ok to use, and does anyone know the general hotness of grocery cayenne, it does not say on the bottle.

Bumping this up, hoping to get an answer. Not sure if what I am buying at the grocery is ok or if I need to order online, our health food stores in my area suck... Thanks.

As long as it hot it's doing something. You should be able to tell if
you have a weak or strong batch just from the taste.
If you think it's weak just take more. But it is better that you aquire cayenne with
a heat rating at least you know it's quality.

I have just been using the cayenne pepper spice I had in the cabinet for seasoning. I know its hot enough, as the smallest amount has my tongue burning, and I always feel like I am drooling. I figured when it ran out I would look for something with the heat listed, but until then, I would just use what I had.

Tough Guy ~ you were right, I find myself craving it hotter each time, and then wish I had more to eat when I am done!!! Also noticed today is the first day that I haven't really been icy cold, even my feet aren't covered in frostbite anymore ~ just a slight chill!!!

I've noticed when I take the cayenne with liquid, it does its job better. No pain no gain, right? Just before doing NBE I was suffering on and off with heartburn, since I've taken the cayenne it's disappeared. My stomach feels less acidic.

I'd suggest buying from Dr.Schulze (the website is herbdoc.com). Also, Dr.Christopher (forgot which website sell his, but there are many.....you could google it)is pretty good. Dr. Schulze sells in powder form in a tub or in a tincture. I'm currently using Dr.Christopher's cayenne, which is in capsule form. It's about 450mg and the heat unit is 40,000, I usually use half a capsule 3 times a day. At least twice......sometimes I forget it's part of my program.

It's HOT alright, but I am starting to like it and have had a steady temp around 98.7, which is good. I cut out L-Tyrosine from my program and that's two pills a day I don't have to take. Even if it has nothing to do with the cayenne, I like taking it anyway for the other benefits. After this runs out, I may go ahead and order something with a heat rating though so I know what I've got.

Thanks! -- Sissy

I bought some capsules today at Wal-Mart. Took 2 about an hour ago after I ate and w/ water.
My stomach is burning a bit and I am very used to eating spicy foods.

Should I try milk w/ them next time??!

I would DEFINATELY eat a little bit of food before you eat the cayenne. i tried taking 1000 mg (40,000 heat units) of cayenne in the morning on an empty stomach... I had the worst stomache I've ever had. I'm fairly used to spicy food too... Be careful out there!

Based of the info that was posted earlier, my suggestion would be to sprinkle some of the cayenne onto a piece of buttered bread (small piece),or anything really, just to get the proper juices going in the stomach. It said that its harder on the stomach when taken in a pill form, because your stomach hasn't had time to prepare, whereas if it touches the tongue first all your sensors and stuff send messages to the stomach which then prepares for the arrival. I did a horrible job explaining it, so read the article its really good!

I open 2 capsules -100,000 heat units and put it in a little juice. It was really hot at first but after a few times you get used to it and it doesn't bother your stomach either.

When I took cayenne, my feet weren't cold anymore and I thoguh my skin color improved, I was always very pale before. But I thoguht I might be imagining it. But about two weeks ago I stopped cayenne with all other herbs as I'm on a brake and my feet are cold again. So I'm convinced that it has an effect.

So I am almost out of my Cayenne pills and I was wondering if Cayenne powdered pepper you can get in the spice section at any grocery store is just as effective? Because I was thinking about just mixing that with my food until I buy more capsules of it.

I believe I did read this somewhere on the board. If you want I will try track it down for you. From what I read people mixed however much of the cayenne into a glass of like orange juice and that seemed to help it g down well even better than a capsule as it won't burn a whole in your stomach or something of that nature

I have cayenne pills but have yet to start taking them, do you feel it helped with your circulation or not really?

Re: Cayenne Pepper use??

Well sure, thanks. I just want to know if the Cayenne that comes in a bottle you put on food has the same amount OR close amount of heat units as the capsules do. The capsules I take have 40,000 H.U.

I have really bad circulation in my feet and hands. I feel it really hasn't helped THAT much, but when I take it, it really hits my stomach in like 5minutes; I can feel the burning... I don't mind it though. It does make me warmer, just lacking it in my feet mostly.

I guess everyone just assumes it is the same (as long as it is bright and vibrant). I don't know how to tell the heat units from the store though at all... Hopefully someone else will know.

However, if you are tired of the cayenne you can also try gingko, garlic, and some other things for circulation. I just bought the cayenne because it was the cheapest I could find at my local health store would liek to try gingko eventually though.

Doesn't L-Tyrosine help with body temperature? Not sure if that will do the same thing. I have poor circulation but really can't be bothered with it! I'd cut back on the cayenne if you can feel it as it may build up and get worse.

Re: Cayenne Pepper use??

L-tyrozine is supposed to help with temperature, but in a very different way than cayenne and imo a lot less effective. L-tyrozine is the precursor to the thyroid hormone thyroxin which increases metabolism and with that the production of heat. However I don't believe that it's as simple as taking l-tyrozine increases production of thyroid hormones. And even if it does, the body has regulating mechanisms which might bind the new excess hormones to prevent them from working. The thing is that for most people, being old doesn't have anything to do with thyroid function, they have completely normal levels of tyroxine, but it has to do with slow sluggish circulation that is directly the conscequence of small blood vessless being too constricted. One may be genetically inclined to having too strongly constricted vessles (vasoconstriction), but what also increases it is stress, and if there's one thing we are not lacking n owdays it's stress. Cayenne and other burning and some other herbs work directly on the blood vessles to dilate them (vasodilators), which is why they should be the most effective. And it's obvious cold is not the most important conscequernce of too strong vasoconstriction for us doing NBE, it's the fact that it makes out boobs get a smaller blood supply.

Btw I took ginko before taking cayenne and it didn't work nearly as well as cayenne does. Also cayenne should be taken several times a day in SMALL doses, obviously cause it's a burning herb. This meaning like 200, 250 mg, and with plenty of water.

Re: Cayenne Pepper use??

I remeber that 2 weeks after starting ginko, I started feeling more signs in my boobs and I got all excited. But soon they subsided and I was worried. Next cycle same time, the signs were back, but much weaker. My feet also weren't a lot warmer then they were before. After the signs subsided again, they never came back. Weird that it seems my body got used to ginko!

I do believe that from how much mention they get everywhere and in general, cayenne is more popular for circulation. Ginko has been mentioned especially as increasing blood flow into the brain. But I didn't really notice any improvements of mental functions while on it (like on concentration), nor was I any less cold. I did with cayenne, I used to wear 3 pairs of socks in the winter and was still cold, now I wear 1 like normal people lol and I never have cold feet anymore.

You don't have to take Cayenne for a certain period of time for it to work everyday do you? I'd think it would start working the day you take it.

I would think yes it would probably start working as you take it but over the course of some time overall circulation would definitely be noticed as someone would realize they never feel cold anymore. Know what I mean? Hope this helps

Just curious.....
March 31 2008, 11:53 AM

Christ, me and my ridiculously stupid questions.
But I was just wondering if anyone knew...

When you take Cayenne capsules right after you eat, does it burn the food that you eat and... like... destroy the bad fats and keep the good? Or does it not affect the food you eat at all?

It seems expectable to me too that cayenne would work immediately, but from my experience it actually wasn't like that, it took a few weeks to really notice a difference.

Cayenne doesn't ''destroy fats'' or anything, but I'm not really sure how it's supposed to work for loosing weight, aside from increasing circulation.

How about soy lecithin for fat burning? I know Co-Q10 and L-carnitine gave me a real buzz last time I took them in a diet pill, was bouncing around after about 4 hours sleep per night, haven't been brave enough to try them again! Another thing that's supposed tobe good for weight loss is ephedrine - similar to speed, I think it causes your metabolism to speed up but I don't think there's any way to keep it from burning your boobs.

On a herb site you can bulk buy herbs in powder which looks good (although they're quite expensive, but I guess you get a large quantity), is cayenne powder just the same as I would buy from the supermarket for cooking?

Yes as long as it's called capsicum, but you don't know what the s.h.u. (standard heat units) are (should be at least 40,000 from what I've read) and also you have to be very careful about not touching the powder as it will burn your eyes and nose and mouth if you touch them and may also burn skin. So, it may be easier just to buy the capsules.

I dont't see why you can't use what you'd find in the spice isle. I don't think you need much cayenne if you are just using it to boost other herbs. so I wouldn't buy that one in bulk. of the ready made pills that also contain cayenne that I can find in a search they only had 10-50mg cayenne in it. most had 10-25mg.

Yes Louise just buy cayenne pepper powder.As long as its nice and bright color,that means its fresh.
I grow my own also.
I would used grind it and powder it myself,,but it gets quite harsh for your nose. Its good for your immune system.
Ive heard of native peoples that snort it right into there noses,to combat infections and such.
It is one of the best things for stripping the plaques from arteries.
One of my business customers had a Doc that put him on cayenne only for clearing small blockages in his arteries.
He said he was taking 5-6 capsules a day.

Solaray herbs has an buffered cayenne that is for people that have some reactions to cayenne.It comes in different levels of scoville heat units
Some people are actually allergic to the essential oil.
Its quite amazing what all it can do for the body.
Mainly circulatory and immune systems.

Book by Dr.William Christopher,...sorry that I cannot find my copy to get proper title.
He healed his own heart disease with 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper a day,for several months

Mistake on Dr.'s name....
October 25 2007, 5:41 AM

Hiya, I made a mistake as to the Dr's name,I got two guys mixed up.
I couldn't find my book by him,so I was trying to recall his name.
He is Dr.John Ray Christopher. Im not so good recalling people names but Im much better with botanical stuff.

Well,Just for some to go along with NBE,I'd just recommend taking a capsule whenever you take some other pills or just take one whenever you eat a meal.

Just drink a little bit of milk with it and you wont have any stomach burning.
I used to get a little burning when I took them, and I just drink a bit of milk and it counteracts the burning effect.

For maintainance doses for general health,its recommended to take one to two capsules along with meals.

Cayenne also lowers blood pressure.
