Tom, I read about your curing your stomach ulcer with cayenne and I have a few questions. I have been taking cayenne powder twice a day before meals. I started at 1/4 tsp and am almost up to 1/2 tsp now, but I have to have food immediately after I take it in order not to get sick. I get a cold wet cloth and put on my neck and that helps. Does it get easier to do it without food and to take as much as one teaspoon? Is it necessary to do it without food? Should I also not take in extra water after taking it in a small amount of water? I don't suppose I could get by with taking less since I am a small person(105 pounds). I want to do what I have to to get rid of this and I think I can get there but would you give me any tips that you can. I have started taking xanax to calm my stomach down at night in order to be able to go to sleep. If I could get rid of the ulcer, I feel sure I could stop taking the xanax. Thanks for your help.

NB
