Got garlic and cayenne pepper in your survival kit?
Wild Garlic
Allium canadense
Note the bulblets in the flower cluster, which can sprout into new
plants after they fall off. They are a form of vegetative reproduction
-- an alternative to seeds. Sometimes wild garlic will produce only
bulblets, no flowers. This plant is not the same as field garlic
(Allium vineale), which is a common weed in lawns and gardens. Wild
garlic has flat leaves; field garlic has round, hollow leaves.
• Family: Lily (Liliaceae)
• Habitat: meadows, openings
• Height: 8-24 inches
• Flower size: 1/2 inch across
• Flower color: pale pink or white
• Flowering time: May to July
• Origin: native
They are from the Lily family. The Lily is what will save the world.
Century 5 Quatraine 50
The year that the brothers of the lily come of age,
One of them will hold the great Romania:
The mountains to tremble, Latin passage opened,
Agreement to march against the fort of Armenia.

-------
garlic must be eaten fresh (raw) mashed, pressed, minced, or chewed,
and eaten within an hour for medicinal potency.
"It is important to note that the garlic MUST be fresh. The active
ingredient is destroyed within one hour of smashing the garlic. Garlic
pills are virtually worthless and should not be used. When you use the
garlic it will be important to compress the garlic with a spoon prior
to swallowing it if you are not going to juice it. If you swallow the
clove intact you will not convert the allicin to its active ingredient."

Separate and plant an organic bulb, 7-10 harvestable plants per bulb
planted, on the shortest day of the year, and harvest same on the
longest day of the year .
Braid the freshly pulled garlic plants, hang in a dry area, your
kitchen, and enjoy till you're doing the same to the next year's harvest.
Plant lots, and give away, can take almost any conditions, plant in
the wild, in the areas not sprayed (weed abatement/pest freaks) by the
city, county, overzealous neighbors, etc.
Not needed to be a gardener, just aware, and not too forgetful or

Garlic
The previous herbs I have described have primarily worked to
strengthen the body's natural defenses against infection rather than
attacking microorganisms themselves. Garlic also does this, but with
garlic, we have a plant that is a true antibiotic. It can effectively
kill bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, yeasts, and molds, including
many that cause serious disease in humans.

Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Cancer, Anti-Fungal, Anti-Parasitic, and Anti-Viral.
If you do ONLY 1 Program or use ONLY 1 Herb, it should be Garlic. In
the MANY Years at the Clinic, I have seen it HEAL MANY, HURT NO ONE,
and create MIRACLES!
Garlic is one of the MOST POTENT and RELIABLE Herbal Healers known. It
is a POWERFUL Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic. It is also Anti-Viral,
Anti-Fungal, Anti-Parasitical and has PROVEN itself to RID the Body
internally and externally of any Antigen or Pathogen.
Garlic has been PROVEN in Hospitals and Laboratories worldwide to
DESTROY CANCER and break up Tumors, THIN the Blood and NORMALIZE Blood
Pressure and Cholesterol Levels. Hundreds of my Female Patients used
Vaginal Garlic Implants to do EVERYTHING from HEAL Infections to
ELIMINATE CANCER!
Garlic externally is an Herbal Surgeon. It's 700+ various Sulfur
Compounds will DESTROY INFECTION and, if used FULL strength, will BURN
off ANYTHING in it's way! Garlic nutritionally is a GREAT
Strength-Builder and has been REVERED throughout History in numerous
Cultures as a Food to INCREASE Health and Energy.
It can be eaten RAW, swallowed WHOLE, chopped up and mixed with Food
and put through your Juicer. Just get it in!
The BEST Garlic is the HOTTEST, and, of course, ORGANIC! If NONE is
available, which is RARE, then use your HOTTEST Onions, which is
Garlic's next of kin. Consume at least 3 cloves of FRESH RAW Garlic
EVERY Day.

Inhibition of tumor growth by a novel
approach: In situ allicin generation using
targeted alliinase delivery
Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate), a highly active component in extracts
of freshly crushed garlic, is the interaction product of non-protein
amino acid alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide) with the enzyme
alliinase (alliin lyase; EC 4.4.1.4). Allicin was shown to be toxic in
various mammalian cells in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. We made
use of this cytotoxicity to develop a novel approach to cancer
treatment, based on site-directed generation of allicin. Alliinase
from garlic was chemically conjugated to a mAb directed against a
specific tumor marker, ErbB2. After the mAb-alliinase conjugate was
bound to target tumor cells, the substrate, alliin, was added. In the
presence of alliin, tumor-localized alliinase produced allicin, which
effectively killed N87 and CB2, both ErbB2-expressing cells in vitro,
whereas 32D cells (a murine hematopoietic progenitor cell line, devoid
of the ErbB2 receptors) were not affected. Moreover, using N87, a
human tumor cell line xenograft in athymic nude mice, we demonstrated
for the first time, a high antitumor activity of allicin that was
produced in situ by the conjugate, on alliin administration in vivo,
while at the same time other tissues were unharmed due to the inert
nature of alliin and the high clearance rate of allicin. The effect of
the treatment on tumor growth arrest became significant 2 weeks after
its onset, and it continued to rise, reaching highly significant
inhibition a week later. Ten days after the end of the treatment (day
18), tumor growth inhibition was still the same.

Avian Bird Flu Protection?
There's an invincible weapon against disease and infection--a
cure-it-all remedy that stops any virus it comes in contact with. That
includes the most feared biological agents like anthrax, ebola, and
H5N1 (the infamous bird flu virus). No known germ has ever managed to
develop a resistance to it. It is proven to wipe out cancer cells
without harming healthy cells, and it clears plaque-clogged arteries
like a charm.
Why haven't you heard about this wonder drug?
Because it's not a drug. It's a food, and its name is garlic.
Garlic cloves, to be exact, emphasizes health journalist Bill Sardi on
lewrockwell.com. Garlic pills, while being a staple in health food
stores, do not contain or produce allicin, the healing component found
in fresh garlic cloves, despite saying so on the label. The garlic
powder in the pills, explains Sardi, releases allicin in water, but
stomach acid destroys the enzyme aliinase that is necessary to make
allicin.
Most garlic pills have acid-resistant shells that are supposed to keep
them intact until they reach the upper intestine. But often the
resilient shell doesn't dissolve in time, and the pill passes through
the entire digestive system without benefit to the body. What it boils
down to: Eat the garlic raw (not cooked) or find a supplement like AGE
(aged garlic extract) whose components are uncompromised.
The ancient Romans knew about the beneficial effects of the miracle
bulb--their soldiers munched fresh garlic prior to a battle (no doubt
also as a deterrent for enemy troops), field doctors treated
infections with garlic, and conquerors planted garlic first thing in
newly usurped soil.
These are garlic's amazing health benefits:
* It is lethal to every virus, bacterium, fungus, and amoeba known to
man--without the risk of creating resistance.
* It can be used as prophylaxis to prevent stomach ulcers and stomach
cancer.
* It can prevent and successfully treat anthrax, dysentery,
salmonella, staphylococcus, klebsiella, SARS, herpes, etc.
* Studies have found that it penetrates and terminates cancer cells,
without harming the healthy ones.
* It inhibits the formation of plaque on artery walls.
* It controls insulin levels and helps prevent weight gain.
Interestingly, while garlic reliably stops influenza viruses, no
exceptions, the much-touted flu vaccines or the new "miracle drug"
Tamiflu that tens of thousands panicked people have started hoarding,
are not so lucky. In fact, it is not at all clear that they do
anything. In other words, in the unlikely event of a true avian flu
epidemic with human-to-human transmission, fresh garlic will be your
best bet.
But don't count on hearing much about this in the mainstream media.
After all, Big Pharma makes its money by peddling drugs, not things
you find in the produce aisle.

Medicinal Use and Health Benefit of Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum)
"If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It
is more powerful than any other." Dr. Schulze
"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)." Dr. Christopher

Heart
Cayenne has been known to stop heart attacks within 30 seconds. For
example, when a 90-year-old man in Oregon had a severe heart attack,
his daughter was able to get Cayenne extract into his mouth. He was
pronounced dead by the medics, but within a few minutes, he regained
consciousness. On the way to the hospital, he remained in a
semi-conscious state, but the daughter kept giving him the Cayenne
extract. By the time they got to the hospital, he had fully recovered
and wanted to go home and mow the lawn. The doctor asked what she had
given him, as he said it was the closest thing to a miracle he had
ever seen.
If a heart attack should occur, it is suggested that a teaspoon of
extract be given every 15 minutes or a teaspoon of Cayenne in a glass
of hot water be taken until the crisis has passed. Dr. Anderson also
knew of a doctor who rushed out into the parking lot and put cayenne
tincture into the mouth of a man who had died of a heart attack while
he was parking his car. Within a few minutes, the man's heart starting
beating again.

CAYENNE PEPPER THE BEST HEALING STIMULANT IN HERBAL MEDICINE
CAYENNE PEPPER is a stimulant. It improves circulation and purifies
the blood. It is Anti bacterial, promotes healing and prevents infection.
Scientific evidence indicates that CAYENNE PEPPER is useful for
healing in common colds and flu, heart disease, yellow fever, gangrene
and cancer.
CAYENNE PEPPER is good for the kidneys, spleen, pancreas, lungs and heart.
CAYENNE PEPPER also helps other herbs to work more effectively when
taken at the same time.
CAYENNE PEPPER is known to normalize blood pressure and stop internal
and external bleeding. It lowers cholesterol and is useful for people
with poor circulation.
DISEASE is caused by poor circulation or lack of fresh blood to the
affected area. CAYENNE can ward off disease by helping blood circulation.
CAYENNE PEPPER should not be taken in capsule form. Much of the
healing starts in the mouth. As cayenne touches the tongue it sends
signals along nerve endings, sending new blood to the parts' of your
body, which are sick, thereby promoting healing.
CAYENNE PEPPER comes in many different forms but hottest is best. See
end for list of peppers and heat scale.
CAYENNE PEPPER has been used in treatment for health conditions such as:-
Angina – heart pains, Arthritis, Asthma, Atherosclerosis, Bleeding
gums, Blood clots, Bowel diseases, bruises, cancer, colds, flu, heart
failure, diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, duodenal ulcers, elevated
cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, fatigue, food poisoning, free
radical activity, frost bite, frozen limbs, headaches, head
congestion, heart arrhythmias, heart attack, heart disease,
heatstroke, haemorrhaging, herpes zoster, hypertension, impotence,
indigestion, influenza, itching, lumbago, motion sickness, mouth
sores, multiple sclerosis, nerve inflammation, neuralgia, night
blindness, obesity, pain, peptic ulcer, poor appetite, psoriasis,
respiration disorders, shingles, stomach ulcers, toothache. Etc.
THE CONSTITUENTS OF CAPSICUM/CAYENNE PEPPER
Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Alkaloids known as Capsaicin are the
constituents of Capsicum/ Cayenne pepper.
The University of Arizona Cancer Centre reported that the results of a
study they had conducted showed that Vitamin A reduced cancerous
lesions of the mouth. It may also help people with oral or oesophageal
cancer caused by excessive tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking.
Vitamin A is needed for good vision. It helps to create visual purple
with is needed for night vision.
Vitamin A heals inflammation of the eyes, smoothes rough skin, and
clears acne. It helps to reduce wrinkles and heals wounds. Strengthens
bones and teeth and is good for the lungs.
Vitamin A is the most potent killer of free radicals, especially one
called singlet oxygen that causes the aging of cells. It also heals
disorders of the stomach lining. E.g. Ulcers.
Vitamin C helps to clear blood clots in veins. Helps to prevent heart
disease by eliminating plaque from the arteries. Helps to heal wounds.
Helps to prevent colds
It is not advisable to take huge doses of Vitamin A. So buying and
taking supplements of Vitamin A is not recommended.
CAPSAICIN is what causes burning sensation. It also causes the brain
to activate the salivary glands and endorphins, the body's natural
painkillers. These endorphins give us a feeling of pleasure. In time
our tolerance of chilli heat increases and we are able to take more.
CAPSICIN is the main ingredient in some pain killing creams. For pain
relief from Arthritis, and Diabetes nerve damage. It is also an anti
oxidant which helps to stop cancer cell growth. Studies have shown
that Capsaicin found in chilli peppers causes tumour cells to die by
starving them of oxygen.

It's well known that cayenne pepper is an important ingredient in hot
sauces, salsa and spicy restaurant dishes, but mostly unknown that
extracts of cayenne can help ease the terrible burning pain of
shingles (herpes zoster), reduce muscle soreness, speed healing of
strains and sprains, heal ulcers of the digestive tract, and stimulate
metabolism, helping the body get rid of excess fat.

We need to remember that pharmaceutical drugs never cure the
condition, but instead create a dependence on their product for
manageability of symptoms.
Cayenne, or capsicum anum, has been used for over 7,000 years as a
food, a condiment, and a medicine. The plant originated in the
Americas where it was used by natives south of the Mexican border and
South America. Cayenne was introduced into Europe, India and Asia via
the early trade merchants who dealt in spices during the 15th and 16th
centuries. The use of cayenne as a medicine was first recorded by
Columbus's physician, Dr. Chanca. From there its medicinal value was
brought to light in some of the early European herbal books. By the
19th century, cayenne was well-known in many apothecaries in the
United States and abroad.
During the early part of the 19th century, Dr. Samuel Thomson taught a
group of physicians how to use cayenne successfully in their
practices. These early naturopaths were known as Thomsonians and they
employed cayenne for all cases of poor circulation, debility,
indigestion, constipation, rheumatism, paralysis and general swelling
in the joints.
Over sixty years ago Dr. John R. Christopher, the father of American
herbology, was taught the value of cayenne by his teacher at Dominion
Herbal College in British Columbia, Dr. H. Nowell. He relates the
following story in a newsletter he wrote on cayenne:
I sat in class and Dr. Nowell said, "We will now study today cayenne,
which is actually called capsicum." I raised my hand and said, "Dr.
Nowell, why are we studying cayenne? It will burn the lining out of
your stomach."
Everyone in class laughed except Dr. Nowell. He said, "By the way,
where did you get your information?"
I said my mother told me and then everybody laughed except Dr. Nowell.
He said, "Just what was her herbal degree?"
Well, I guess she had none at all. "Well, that's interesting," he
said. "Could I see you after class?" After class in his car he drove
me around Vancouver, British Columbia, and introduced me to at least a
dozen people whose lives had been saved with cayenne -- some with
heart attacks, some with asthmatic conditions and various other
things. He didn't have to do this, but he was a great teacher, and he
took the time to show me how great cayenne could be, used properly on
the human body. Well, I never forgot this, and as I started in the
practice myself, I prescribed cayenne very extensively.
Dr. Christopher then shared in his newsletter his own powerful testimony:
I had hardening of the arteries, during my 20 and 30 year span, to a
point that it was very severe. No insurance company at this time,
would even take me for a $1,000 policy. So you can tell how bad a
condition I was in. I was quite concerned about it, and started using
cayenne.
I worked up to a teaspoon three times a day, and I continued on from
the time I was 35 and am still using it. It was amazing! By the time I
was 45 years of age, ten years after I started using cayenne, a group
wanted me to have a $100,000 policy to insure them on a business deal
we were working out. I went for the examination.
Being this large a policy, the insurance company required two medical
doctors, each to give two physical exams at various times (being four
times to have physicals with these two doctors). I took the
examination and one medical doctor when he got through, said, "Well,
this is astounding. I see your age is forty-five years, but you have
the venous structure of a teenage boy." He said, "This is excellent,"
and gave me a clean bill of health.
I went to the other doctor and on his second examination he did the
blood pressure test on my arm. He pumped his equipment up five
different times and my arm was getting irritated by it, and I was
getting a little perturbed, and I said, "What's the matter, doesn't
your equipment work?" "Oh yes, it always has up until now, but I keep
looking at your chart and it says you are 45 years of age and yet your
systolic over your diastolic is absolutely perfect. I cannot
comprehend it."
I said, "That's correct. It is perfect." And he also gave me a clean
bill of health. So I passed at 45 years of age for a $100,000 policy
with a good blood pressure showing, thanks to cayenne.
I have been told by medical doctors that because of my arthritis,
hardening of the arteries, stomach ulcers and some auto accidents that
banged me up pretty badly, that I couldn't live past my 40th year.
Yet, at 45 years I was pronounced in good condition.

Cayenne: Turn Up the Heat
In 35 years of practice. . . I have never lost one heart-attack patient.
That's a pretty remarkable claim to make, but Dr. John Christopher,
the famous master herbalist, said it with confidence.
"If they are still breathing, I [give] them a cup of cayenne tea (a
teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water), and within minutes they
are up and around."
Cayenne? The pepper?
That's right. Cayenne is one of the fastest-acting aids for the heart,
because it feeds that heart immediately.
Here's how it works: Cayenne helps maintain the "river of life," also
known as the bloodstream. A stagnated "river of life" leads to
blockages, which lead to oxygen starvation, which leads to organ
dysfunction, disease, and, in severe cases, heart attack. Cayenne
pepper works like a drain opener that blasts through the blockages,
delivering oxygenated blood into sick or dying organs faster than any
other medicine or herb can get there.
But that's not all; cayenne has more health benefits than any other
single food or herb on earth.
Cayenne taken internally as a tea will stop the bleeding — even from a
severe cut or gunshot wound — in most cases by the time you can count
to ten. Cayenne has a natural, powerful, equalizing effect on
blood-pressure. When it hits your bloodstream — which it does
immediately — it adjusts your blood pressure from the top of your head
to the bottom of your feet. Thus, the high pressure at the wound site
is alleviated and clotting can start at once.
Cayenne is truly a gift to humanity. Over 3,000 scientific studies
listed in the National Library of Medicine support the use of cayenne
in preventing and reversing many common health ailments.

----------
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.

Garlic combats arsenic poisoning

Garlic combats arsenic poisoning
* 14 January 2008
* NewScientist.com news service
Garlic may provide some relief for millions of Bangladeshis and
Indians whose drinking water is contaminated with arsenic.
Keya Chaudhuri of the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Kolkata,
and her colleagues gave rats daily doses of arsenic in their water, in
levels equivalent to those found in groundwater in Bangladesh and West
Bengal. Rats which were also fed garlic extracts had 40 per cent less
arsenic in their blood and liver, and passed 45 per cent more arsenic
in their urine (Food and Chemical Toxicology, DOI:
10.1016/j.fct.2007.09.108):
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2007.09.108
Chaudhuri says that sulphur-containing substances in garlic scavenge
arsenic from tissues and blood. She advises people in at-risk areas to
eat one to three cloves of garlic per day as a preventative.

What Is Allicin?
Allicin is the most powerful medicinal compound derived from garlic and provides the greatest reputed health benefits.
Allicin does not occur in "ordinary" garlic, it is produced when garlic is finely chopped or crushed. The finer the chopping and the more intensive the crushing, the more allicin is generated and the stronger the medicinal effect.
The technically minded might be interested in the chemistry of allicin.
As well as having antibiotic properties, allicin is an excellent anti-fungal and garlic preparations have been used in folk medicine to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot. Be cautious: too much contact with crushed garlic can result in skin blistering. You should also be aware that a few people are allergic to garlic. Garlic is powerful and needs to be treated with respect - see the warnings page.
Allicin starts to degrade immediately after it is produced, so its medical effectiveness decreases over time. Cooking speeds up this degradation and microwaving appears to destroy allicin totally and eliminate any health benefits.
So for the most powerful medicinal effect, crush a little raw garlic and combine with the cooked food shortly before serving. Don't overdo it - too much can produce irritation of and possibly even damage to the digestive tract. Remember too that raw, crushed garlic also has the most powerful flavour!
Before taking garlic or any other supplement, consult your doctor.
http://www.garlic-central.com/allicin.html

The Miracle of Garlic & Vinegar pg 23:
What's more, garlic actually dissolves life-threatening blood clots. Dr. Martyn Bailey of Georgetown University in Washington D.C., has
produced laboratory evidence that a chemical in garlic called adenosine blockes the production of a blood compound named fibronolytic, which makes blood sticky and causes clotting.
To put it another way, this means that garlic thins the blood. And adenosine isn't the only weapon in garlic's arsenal, says chemistry professor Dr. Eric Block of the Albany Medical College. By teaming adenosine with a chemical Dr. Block discovered called ajoene (which is
what you'd call a medical marvel, because it also has antibiotic properties and promotes wound healing), garlic can give untimely blood clots a knock out punch.
Block says quite bluntly that "as an antithrombotic agent (clot buster), ajoene is at least as potent as aspirin." And aspirin has been recognized as one of the most effective anti-coagulants, or blood thinners, going. Blocks animal experiments show that a single
dose of ajoene will shut down platelet aggregation (unwanted clotting) by 100 percent and keep it that way for 24 hours.
All of these researchers stress firmly that garlic has absolutely no side effects of any kind. The only risk you can possibly run as a
consumer of garlic is that of offending your friends. And kyolic can eliminate that hazard if it concerns you.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the healing powers of garlic.

cure-it-all remedy that stops any virus it comes in contact with. That
includes the most feared biological agents like anthrax, ebola, and
H5N1 (the infamous bird flu virus). No known germ has ever managed to
develop a resistance to it. It is proven to wipe out cancer cells
without harming healthy cells, and it clears plaque-clogged arteries
like a charm.
Why haven't you heard about this wonder drug?
Because it's not a drug. It's a food, and its name is garlic.
Garlic cloves, to be exact, emphasizes health journalist Bill Sardi on
lewrockwell.com. Garlic pills, while being a staple in health food
stores, do not contain or produce allicin, the healing component found
in fresh garlic cloves, despite saying so on the label. The garlic
powder in the pills, explains Sardi, releases allicin in water, but
stomach acid destroys the enzyme aliinase that is necessary to make
allicin.
Most garlic pills have acid-resistant shells that are supposed to keep
them intact until they reach the upper intestine. But often the
resilient shell doesn't dissolve in time, and the pill passes through
the entire digestive system without benefit to the body. What it boils
down to: Eat the garlic raw (not cooked) or find a supplement like AGE
(aged garlic extract) whose components are uncompromised.
The ancient Romans knew about the beneficial effects of the miracle
bulb--their soldiers munched fresh garlic prior to a battle (no doubt
also as a deterrent for enemy troops), field doctors treated
infections with garlic, and conquerors planted garlic first thing in
newly usurped soil.
These are garlic's amazing health benefits:
* It is lethal to every virus, bacterium, fungus, and amoeba known to
man--without the risk of creating resistance.
* It can be used as prophylaxis to prevent stomach ulcers and stomach
cancer.
* It can prevent and successfully treat anthrax, dysentery,
salmonella, staphylococcus, klebsiella, SARS, herpes, etc.
* Studies have found that it penetrates and terminates cancer cells,
without harming the healthy ones.
* It inhibits the formation of plaque on artery walls.
* It controls insulin levels and helps prevent weight gain.
Interestingly, while garlic reliably stops influenza viruses, no
exceptions, the much-touted flu vaccines or the new "miracle drug"
Tamiflu that tens of thousands panicked people have started hoarding,
are not so lucky. In fact, it is not at all clear that they do
anything. In other words, in the unlikely event of a true avian flu
epidemic with human-to-human transmission, fresh garlic will be your
best bet.
But don't count on hearing much about this in the mainstream media.
After all, Big Pharma makes its money by peddling drugs, not things
you find in the produce aisle.

Medicinal Use and Health Benefit of Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum)
"If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It
is more powerful than any other." Dr. Schulze
"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)." Dr. Christopher

Heart
Cayenne has been known to stop heart attacks within 30 seconds. For
example, when a 90-year-old man in Oregon had a severe heart attack,
his daughter was able to get Cayenne extract into his mouth. He was
pronounced dead by the medics, but within a few minutes, he regained
consciousness. On the way to the hospital, he remained in a
semi-conscious state, but the daughter kept giving him the Cayenne
extract. By the time they got to the hospital, he had fully recovered
and wanted to go home and mow the lawn. The doctor asked what she had
given him, as he said it was the closest thing to a miracle he had
ever seen.
If a heart attack should occur, it is suggested that a teaspoon of
extract be given every 15 minutes or a teaspoon of Cayenne in a glass
of hot water be taken until the crisis has passed. Dr. Anderson also
knew of a doctor who rushed out into the parking lot and put cayenne
tincture into the mouth of a man who had died of a heart attack while
he was parking his car. Within a few minutes, the man's heart starting
beating again.

CAYENNE PEPPER THE BEST HEALING STIMULANT IN HERBAL MEDICINE
CAYENNE PEPPER is a stimulant. It improves circulation and purifies
the blood. It is Anti bacterial, promotes healing and prevents infection.
Scientific evidence indicates that CAYENNE PEPPER is useful for
healing in common colds and flu, heart disease, yellow fever, gangrene
and cancer.
CAYENNE PEPPER is good for the kidneys, spleen, pancreas, lungs and heart.
CAYENNE PEPPER also helps other herbs to work more effectively when
taken at the same time.
CAYENNE PEPPER is known to normalize blood pressure and stop internal
and external bleeding. It lowers cholesterol and is useful for people
with poor circulation.
DISEASE is caused by poor circulation or lack of fresh blood to the
affected area. CAYENNE can ward off disease by helping blood circulation.
CAYENNE PEPPER should not be taken in capsule form. Much of the
healing starts in the mouth. As cayenne touches the tongue it sends
signals along nerve endings, sending new blood to the parts' of your
body, which are sick, thereby promoting healing.
CAYENNE PEPPER comes in many different forms but hottest is best. See
end for list of peppers and heat scale.
CAYENNE PEPPER has been used in treatment for health conditions such as:-
Angina – heart pains, Arthritis, Asthma, Atherosclerosis, Bleeding
gums, Blood clots, Bowel diseases, bruises, cancer, colds, flu, heart
failure, diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, duodenal ulcers, elevated
cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, fatigue, food poisoning, free
radical activity, frost bite, frozen limbs, headaches, head
congestion, heart arrhythmias, heart attack, heart disease,
heatstroke, haemorrhaging, herpes zoster, hypertension, impotence,
indigestion, influenza, itching, lumbago, motion sickness, mouth
sores, multiple sclerosis, nerve inflammation, neuralgia, night
blindness, obesity, pain, peptic ulcer, poor appetite, psoriasis,
respiration disorders, shingles, stomach ulcers, toothache. Etc.
THE CONSTITUENTS OF CAPSICUM/CAYENNE PEPPER
Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Alkaloids known as Capsaicin are the
constituents of Capsicum/ Cayenne pepper.
The University of Arizona Cancer Centre reported that the results of a
study they had conducted showed that Vitamin A reduced cancerous
lesions of the mouth. It may also help people with oral or oesophageal
cancer caused by excessive tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking.
Vitamin A is needed for good vision. It helps to create visual purple
with is needed for night vision.
Vitamin A heals inflammation of the eyes, smoothes rough skin, and
clears acne. It helps to reduce wrinkles and heals wounds. Strengthens
bones and teeth and is good for the lungs.
Vitamin A is the most potent killer of free radicals, especially one
called singlet oxygen that causes the aging of cells. It also heals
disorders of the stomach lining. E.g. Ulcers.
Vitamin C helps to clear blood clots in veins. Helps to prevent heart
disease by eliminating plaque from the arteries. Helps to heal wounds.
Helps to prevent colds
It is not advisable to take huge doses of Vitamin A. So buying and
taking supplements of Vitamin A is not recommended.
CAPSAICIN is what causes burning sensation. It also causes the brain
to activate the salivary glands and endorphins, the body's natural
painkillers. These endorphins give us a feeling of pleasure. In time
our tolerance of chilli heat increases and we are able to take more.
CAPSICIN is the main ingredient in some pain killing creams. For pain
relief from Arthritis, and Diabetes nerve damage. It is also an anti
oxidant which helps to stop cancer cell growth. Studies have shown
that Capsaicin found in chilli peppers causes tumour cells to die by
starving them of oxygen.

It's well known that cayenne pepper is an important ingredient in hot
sauces, salsa and spicy restaurant dishes, but mostly unknown that
extracts of cayenne can help ease the terrible burning pain of
shingles (herpes zoster), reduce muscle soreness, speed healing of
strains and sprains, heal ulcers of the digestive tract, and stimulate
metabolism, helping the body get rid of excess fat.

We need to remember that pharmaceutical drugs never cure the
condition, but instead create a dependence on their product for
manageability of symptoms.
Cayenne, or capsicum anum, has been used for over 7,000 years as a
food, a condiment, and a medicine. The plant originated in the
Americas where it was used by natives south of the Mexican border and
South America. Cayenne was introduced into Europe, India and Asia via
the early trade merchants who dealt in spices during the 15th and 16th
centuries. The use of cayenne as a medicine was first recorded by
Columbus's physician, Dr. Chanca. From there its medicinal value was
brought to light in some of the early European herbal books. By the
19th century, cayenne was well-known in many apothecaries in the
United States and abroad.
During the early part of the 19th century, Dr. Samuel Thomson taught a
group of physicians how to use cayenne successfully in their
practices. These early naturopaths were known as Thomsonians and they
employed cayenne for all cases of poor circulation, debility,
indigestion, constipation, rheumatism, paralysis and general swelling
in the joints.
Over sixty years ago Dr. John R. Christopher, the father of American
herbology, was taught the value of cayenne by his teacher at Dominion
Herbal College in British Columbia, Dr. H. Nowell. He relates the
following story in a newsletter he wrote on cayenne:
I sat in class and Dr. Nowell said, "We will now study today cayenne,
which is actually called capsicum." I raised my hand and said, "Dr.
Nowell, why are we studying cayenne? It will burn the lining out of
your stomach."
Everyone in class laughed except Dr. Nowell. He said, "By the way,
where did you get your information?"
I said my mother told me and then everybody laughed except Dr. Nowell.
He said, "Just what was her herbal degree?"
Well, I guess she had none at all. "Well, that's interesting," he
said. "Could I see you after class?" After class in his car he drove
me around Vancouver, British Columbia, and introduced me to at least a
dozen people whose lives had been saved with cayenne -- some with
heart attacks, some with asthmatic conditions and various other
things. He didn't have to do this, but he was a great teacher, and he
took the time to show me how great cayenne could be, used properly on
the human body. Well, I never forgot this, and as I started in the
practice myself, I prescribed cayenne very extensively.
Dr. Christopher then shared in his newsletter his own powerful testimony:
I had hardening of the arteries, during my 20 and 30 year span, to a
point that it was very severe. No insurance company at this time,
would even take me for a $1,000 policy. So you can tell how bad a
condition I was in. I was quite concerned about it, and started using
cayenne.
I worked up to a teaspoon three times a day, and I continued on from
the time I was 35 and am still using it. It was amazing! By the time I
was 45 years of age, ten years after I started using cayenne, a group
wanted me to have a $100,000 policy to insure them on a business deal
we were working out. I went for the examination.
Being this large a policy, the insurance company required two medical
doctors, each to give two physical exams at various times (being four
times to have physicals with these two doctors). I took the
examination and one medical doctor when he got through, said, "Well,
this is astounding. I see your age is forty-five years, but you have
the venous structure of a teenage boy." He said, "This is excellent,"
and gave me a clean bill of health.
I went to the other doctor and on his second examination he did the
blood pressure test on my arm. He pumped his equipment up five
different times and my arm was getting irritated by it, and I was
getting a little perturbed, and I said, "What's the matter, doesn't
your equipment work?" "Oh yes, it always has up until now, but I keep
looking at your chart and it says you are 45 years of age and yet your
systolic over your diastolic is absolutely perfect. I cannot
comprehend it."
I said, "That's correct. It is perfect." And he also gave me a clean
bill of health. So I passed at 45 years of age for a $100,000 policy
with a good blood pressure showing, thanks to cayenne.
I have been told by medical doctors that because of my arthritis,
hardening of the arteries, stomach ulcers and some auto accidents that
banged me up pretty badly, that I couldn't live past my 40th year.
Yet, at 45 years I was pronounced in good condition.

Cayenne: Turn Up the Heat
In 35 years of practice. . . I have never lost one heart-attack patient.
That's a pretty remarkable claim to make, but Dr. John Christopher,
the famous master herbalist, said it with confidence.
"If they are still breathing, I [give] them a cup of cayenne tea (a
teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water), and within minutes they
are up and around."
Cayenne? The pepper?
That's right. Cayenne is one of the fastest-acting aids for the heart,
because it feeds that heart immediately.
Here's how it works: Cayenne helps maintain the "river of life," also
known as the bloodstream. A stagnated "river of life" leads to
blockages, which lead to oxygen starvation, which leads to organ
dysfunction, disease, and, in severe cases, heart attack. Cayenne
pepper works like a drain opener that blasts through the blockages,
delivering oxygenated blood into sick or dying organs faster than any
other medicine or herb can get there.
But that's not all; cayenne has more health benefits than any other
single food or herb on earth.
Cayenne taken internally as a tea will stop the bleeding — even from a
severe cut or gunshot wound — in most cases by the time you can count
to ten. Cayenne has a natural, powerful, equalizing effect on
blood-pressure. When it hits your bloodstream — which it does
immediately — it adjusts your blood pressure from the top of your head
to the bottom of your feet. Thus, the high pressure at the wound site
is alleviated and clotting can start at once.
Cayenne is truly a gift to humanity. Over 3,000 scientific studies
listed in the National Library of Medicine support the use of cayenne
in preventing and reversing many common health ailments.

----------
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.

Garlic combats arsenic poisoning
* 14 January 2008
* NewScientist.com news service
Garlic may provide some relief for millions of Bangladeshis and
Indians whose drinking water is contaminated with arsenic.
Keya Chaudhuri of the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Kolkata,
and her colleagues gave rats daily doses of arsenic in their water, in
levels equivalent to those found in groundwater in Bangladesh and West
Bengal. Rats which were also fed garlic extracts had 40 per cent less
arsenic in their blood and liver, and passed 45 per cent more arsenic
in their urine (Food and Chemical Toxicology, DOI:
10.1016/j.fct.2007.09.108):
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2007.09.108
Chaudhuri says that sulphur-containing substances in garlic scavenge
arsenic from tissues and blood. She advises people in at-risk areas to
eat one to three cloves of garlic per day as a preventative.

What Is Allicin?
Allicin is the most powerful medicinal compound derived from garlic and provides the greatest reputed health benefits.
Allicin does not occur in "ordinary" garlic, it is produced when garlic is finely chopped or crushed. The finer the chopping and the more intensive the crushing, the more allicin is generated and the stronger the medicinal effect.
The technically minded might be interested in the chemistry of allicin.
As well as having antibiotic properties, allicin is an excellent anti-fungal and garlic preparations have been used in folk medicine to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot. Be cautious: too much contact with crushed garlic can result in skin blistering. You should also be aware that a few people are allergic to garlic. Garlic is powerful and needs to be treated with respect - see the warnings page.
Allicin starts to degrade immediately after it is produced, so its medical effectiveness decreases over time. Cooking speeds up this degradation and microwaving appears to destroy allicin totally and eliminate any health benefits.
So for the most powerful medicinal effect, crush a little raw garlic and combine with the cooked food shortly before serving. Don't overdo it - too much can produce irritation of and possibly even damage to the digestive tract. Remember too that raw, crushed garlic also has the most powerful flavour!
Before taking garlic or any other supplement, consult your doctor.

The Miracle of Garlic & Vinegar pg 23:
What's more, garlic actually dissolves life-threatening blood clots. Dr. Martyn Bailey of Georgetown University in Washington D.C., has
produced laboratory evidence that a chemical in garlic called adenosine blockes the production of a blood compound named fibronolytic, which makes blood sticky and causes clotting.
To put it another way, this means that garlic thins the blood. And adenosine isn't the only weapon in garlic's arsenal, says chemistry professor Dr. Eric Block of the Albany Medical College. By teaming adenosine with a chemical Dr. Block discovered called ajoene (which is
what you'd call a medical marvel, because it also has antibiotic properties and promotes wound healing), garlic can give untimely blood clots a knock out punch.
Block says quite bluntly that "as an antithrombotic agent (clot buster), ajoene is at least as potent as aspirin." And aspirin has been recognized as one of the most effective anti-coagulants, or blood thinners, going. Blocks animal experiments show that a single
dose of ajoene will shut down platelet aggregation (unwanted clotting) by 100 percent and keep it that way for 24 hours.
All of these researchers stress firmly that garlic has absolutely no side effects of any kind. The only risk you can possibly run as a
consumer of garlic is that of offending your friends. And kyolic can eliminate that hazard if it concerns you.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the healing powers of garlic.
