Hi group:
 
Dr. Schultze (spelling?), student of Dr. Christopher (called the  father of 
American herbal medicine), master herbalists, suggested using the  entire 
bottle of cayenne tincture if one is having a heart attack.  You  will pass 
out, 
for sure, because the cayenne is so strong, but then recover  without need for 
the ER, according to them.  I always keep a bottle of  cayenne tincture in the 
house, and another in the car, and my purse, for this  reason. 
 
Obviously, do not take a whole bottle of cayenne tincture while  driving.

They also suggested a cayenne treatment for eye problems that they said  
worked wonders, but was rather strong, in that blindness results after use for  
around five minutes, but then vision returns and is better than  before.  I 
haven't had the nerve to try that one, but if I was having a  heart attack I 
figure I would have nothing to loose by downing a bottle of  tincture, anyway.  
By 
the way, cayenne will give the sensation of burning  your stomach if you have 
nothing in it, so take it with food, if possible, but  this is not supposed to 
be harmful, just unpleasant.  My daughter was told  to take cayenne for a 
bleeding ulcer.  She did, and went from vomiting  blood to "normal as usual" 
the 
following day, eating and drinking things she was  told not to, without any 
symptoms or stomach pain.  She has had no further  problems (ten years later). 
Cayenne is supposed to be the herb of choice  for circulatory system problems.  
I have read that it is suggested for  heavy menstrual bleeding (hemorrhage) 
that is resistant to other treatment (mix  cayenne with warm water while lying 
in the bathtub and douche with a turkey  baster).  A person I heard of was 
suffering personality changes from  an intracranial bleed following a head 
injury; he was told to take 9 capsules of  cayenne a day for this problem.  I 
don't 
know if he did take it, or, if so,  what the results were.  The advice came 
from a medical intuitive who is no  longer available to me, but his advice has 
proved valuable in the past, so I  stored this information in my brain.  I 
always muscle test to find the  appropriate amount for my situation, but, of 
course, in an emergency I would  just "go for it."
 
Does anybody know if the "Cool Cayenne" one can purchase in the health  food 
store is as affective as regular cayenne?  Does cool mean the  heat units are 
reduced, which, according to Dr. Schultze, would make it less  effective, or 
if the heat effects are just buffered or masked in some  way?  I could probably 
ask the company, but I don't know that I could trust  the answer I got 
anyway.  If there is a profit motive, I generally like a  second (or third) 
opinion.
