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<<<
Sorry for the short answers, but this wet weather, makes typing very difficult for me.
Bill was shot in the lung, WW2, left for dead on the battle field and managed to survive, in a german prison camp 3 years.
A cold would almost kill him.
When we came to Arizona, after one of his 5 month long colds and he managed to get a job, the Indian that he worked with told him to start eating Jalapeno peppers and he would stop the colds.
I went to Mexico and bought them by the gallons.
They worked for him, as long as he ate them, he had few colds.
When I was a kid in Texas, eating at the table with many cowboys and farm hands, Cayenne pepper was in the cans on the table and used instead of black pepper by them, on their foods.
I remember my cowboy uncle, being careful to not put the pepper on the beans he would feed me, but on his half of the plate.
It must have been awful, he was 18 and a ‘real cowboy’ and when he came in to the headquarters, where we lived and worked, there I was, 2 or 3 years old, meeting him and getting almost stepped on by his horse, expecting to be hauled around and fed /loved by him.
That gives me a story idea, thanks.
