sounds like my experience too. i have had amazing results with CS and h2o2 and soaking a wound when i first got it. but the cayenne packed cut healed even faster and was virtually over night. i hope that you didnt cut a nerve since you didnt feel anything. i have done that, too, and had numbness for a while, but it came back eventually.

good testimony, grz.

This cut is healing like nothing I have ever seen before. I know that some of it has to do with ALL of my health efforts, but I cannot help but think that packing the cayenne into it had a great deal to do with it. At this rate I will not even see it in another day or two.

In the spirit of better late than never, there are multiple good sources on CureZone for Cayenne as a wound treatment and yes it is not always easy to find any one of them at a moments notice. The one immediately below is from Risingsun's blog. When you have some time, search the MH archive as well. I know if you search a time frame of just the last 4 - 9 months there will be many references. Also check the Shulze blog/forum here at CZ.

Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss

The following is an excerpt from "Back to Eden" by Jethro Kloss, father of herbalists, proven holistic healer, teacher and inventor of Soya Milk.

Capsicum (Cayenne Pepper, Red Pepper, Hot Chile Peppers), one of the most wonderful Herb Medicinals, can be put in an open Wound, either in a fresh Wound or an old Ulcer. It is EFFECTIVE as a Poultice for Sores and Wounds or taken internally for Rheumatism, Inflammation, Fevers and Pleurisy. It is a Stimulant, when taken internally, as well as being an Antispasmodic. Good for Kidneys, Spleen, Pancreas, and Lockjaw. Will HEAL a sore, ulcerated Stomach.

It is good in ALL forms of low Diseases. The KEY to success in Therapy is STIMULATION, and Capsicum is the great STIMULANT! There are many languid people, who need something to make the FIRE of Life burn more brightly! Capsicum, NOT Whiskey, is the thing to do that and can be given WITHOUT Stint or Measure. It is EXCELLENT in the Prevention and Cure of the Common Cold and Flu, Yellow Fever, Black Vomit, Decay and Putrefaction, Gangrene, and Cancers!

There is NO other Stimulant, known to Medical Science so NATURAL, so CERTAIN and with LESS Reaction, following it's CONSTANT use.

It increases the power of ALL other agents, helps the digestion, when taken with meals, and arouses ALL of the secreting Organs, and may be given with the utmost SAFETY! FEAR of Capsicum is unfounded! We've used it FREELY over 1/4 Century.

Let stand 7 - 10 days, shake every day. HEALS Wounds, Bruises, Sprains, Scalds, Burns, Sunburns, and Pyorrhea of the Gums "Skin Cancer etc." Apply FREELY


The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper
by Dr. Patrick Quillin

The following is an excerpt from the Complete Handbook of Cayenne Home Remedies by Dr. Patrick Quillin, Director of the Rational Healing Institute he has a doctorate degree in nutrition and is a Registered and Licensed DIetitian (RD & LD) and Certified Nutrition Specialist with the American College of Nutrition.

It's known to STOP a Heart Attack, lower blood Sugar in diabetics, normalize Blood Pressure, STOP bleeding in seconds, improve circulation, prevent Motion Sickness - even HALT the Common Cold!

Cayenne Pepper has been prized for 1000s of years for it's healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts AMAZING results, using Cayenne Pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But Cayenne Pepper is NOT just a HEALER from Ancient History. Recent Clinical Studies have been conducted on many of the old-time Health Applications for this MIRACLE Herb! Again and again, the therapeutic value of Cayenne Pepper has been medically VALIDATED!

Scientific evidence also indicates that Cayenne Pepper can be EFFECTIVE in treating Allergies, Indigestion, Abcesses, Tonsilitis, Kidney Problems, Sore Muscles, Nose Bleeds, Brusitis, Posoriasis, Shingles, Night Blindness and much MORE!

It's LIFE-SAVING action is SIMPLE! Cayenne Pepper stimulates Blood Circulation. In Disease, there is a LACK of Circulation or a LACK of FRESH Blood, especially to the area, that is sick or diseased. In other words, accelerating Blood Flow SPEEDS Healing and can have a POSITIVE effect of Vision, Thinking and Memory.

Capsicum is commonly used to BUFFER Pain from other ailments, including Arthritis, Varicose Veins, Headaches, Menstrual Cramps and Bleeding, plus Respiratory Conditions, such as Asthma.

I am glad to read your cut is MUCH better. I had read or heard recently
the story of someone pouring a cannister of cayenne into a gunshot
wound, and the EMT people being pretty ticked about the mess it had
made. They later came and told the person that it was what had saved
the person's life.

I rarely cut myself but had been keeping, in the back of my mind, that
my next cut, I would be pouring cayenne into it. Your experience validates
that it works and the gunshot wound story validated for me that there is
much wisdom in the herbal remedies that have been passed on to us from
our elders~~!

Thank you for sharing~~

be happy, be well,
Zoe

The cut has healed very well. It has been almost exactly four days since it occurred and the wound is about 1/3 the length of the initial cut and just appears on the surface healing from the outside edges in there does not seem to be any scarring.

It is a little sensitive (not painfully so) to touch the actual wound (what is left of it), but I am, and have been using it fully since Sunday.

This is timely seeing how I sliced the end of my finger off earlier today with a slicer when cutting onions without the safety holder. It bled profusely so packed on cayenne as I know it stops bleeding but blood kept pushing off cayenne until I applied a wet cloth and pressure, but I will re-bandage with cayenne to see if it heals better.

I did put comfrey ointment as comfrey is one of the very few cell proliferants and regrows new cells as does Dr. Christoper's B, F, and C formula. It was this formula that regrew fingers cut off at the 2nd knuckle in two stories related in Christopher's biography in his book "school of Natural Healing." It was on Dr. John R. Christopher's films (7 hours) that initially came with the save your life tapes (Sam Biser and Dr. Richard Shultze) where I first heard of cayenne's ability to heal wounds and stop bleeding (Christopher was originator of Dr. Schulze 's incurable program which Schulze improved and a teacher of Richard Schulze ).

Christopher relays the story of a woman who had attended his seminars and heard what he said about cayenne. Shortly thereafter, her neighbor's child was accidentally shot by another child. They were 50 miles from help and an ambulance. She gave the child lots of cayenne (I forget if she put any in the wound but the child was bleeding profusely). By the time the ambulance got there and took child to the hospital to explore surgically, they were shocked to find very little blood in the wound..far less, then one would expect..and it seemed much better than they would have expected.

I believe he goes on to relay that the bullet nicked or hit or severed the child's spine and mother was told he would never walk again but the mother snuck a bunch of herbs and natural treatments into the hospital suggested by the neighbor and the child totally recovered. It was here Christopher talked of cayenne's ability to stop bleeding and I think even recommended it for hemorrhaging..but it was many years ago that I saw the film and I may be wrong on that point, but I do remember he said it would not sting if in a cut wound. It did sting very slightly but this may have been from nearby tissues as I shook a bunch of it on trying to stop the profuse bleeding. I do think it stopped bleeding sooner than one would expect.
