Re: Yes - please advise

Thank you! I'd be glad to have you recommend some protocols of cayenne. I have Licorice, Golden Seal herb capsules here, and Pau D'Arco, Uva Ursi, and Gotu Kola. I seem to tolerate Licorice for a week or so, then it speeds up my bowels too much. Golden Seal may have a similar effect.  As far as a "protocol for cayenne", it's basically the same for everyone...work up to 1 teaspoon of Cayenne powder 3x daily.  150,000 - 250,000 HU is the minimum HU I suggest.  Organic herbs (or truly wild-crafted) are essential.  And never take Cayenne in capsules (actually, encapsulated herbs are the least effective).

You've already got a LOT of good info for reading/learning on the Cayenne, but here's more regarding non-organic, over-dried herbs.

from this post: http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1462136

--Stop using any non-organic herbs (especially switch the chamomile to organic -if not already- since you're ingesting a lot of it) - here's why:

Basically, there are very few sources for dried, encapsulated herbs that are truly efficacious (Herb Pharm is one), but you still have to take so many compared to a quality tincture...and even then if you have any type of digestive issues, only a small percentage will "process" and be assimilated effectively.   The digesting & assimilating is mostly done in the small intestine, and there's been many people that see undigested capsules (and parts of capsules) in their stool.  Basically, encapsulated herbs are not only a waste of money, but very frustrating and misleading.

Since the majority of all herbs on the market are grown in third-world countries, another huge problem is inferior harvesting and processing.  All herbs have various parts that should be harvested at certain stages of their growth cycle.  Workers harvesting the herbs in these countries are paid 'slave wages' and the growers care far more about "quantity than quality"...so even though it may be useless to harvest the roots or leaves when the plant is in flower, that doesn't matter.  Then the herbs (which should be slowly shade-dried) are typically tossed into huge hot kilns where the temperatures destroy many of the essential oils (or actually burn the herbs) - and once they get all the way here they're put in commercial grinders (more heat) before they're encapsulized.  It's no wonder so few people actually get the healing benefits of the herbs they try :(

Garlic, Cayenne, and Ginger are all beneficial foods for my blood type, as far as ER4YT is concerned. I'm thinking that would be quite a good combination for me. Garlic, Cayenne, lemon juice is what I took today. For those that don't know, ER4YT stands for "Eat Right for your Type" (blood type).  Garlic, Cayenne & Ginger are beneficial foods for everyone's blood type.  It seems like now is a good time for a little clarification.   This forum (and the majority of my knowledge and advise) is based upon the works & concepts of Dr. Christopher and Dr. Schulze (and other truly natural healers of their ilk).  These healers knew there is no such thing as an incurable disease, and successfully/safely cured thousands of people from virtually every disease & condition known...and they did it all without the use of any unnatural or isolated substances.  They did it without anything like 'blood type diets' or 'metabolic typing' (Metabolic typing is totally illogical & ridiculous anyway.  First one must fill answer all kinds of questions about how they react in various ways to various foods & situations, and then a "correct" diet is chosen based on their "type".  BUT THEY ARE SICK WHEN THEY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS - so there's no way to determine their true 'healthy type' from their diseased answers.  Besides, we're all the "human type").  Ooops, sorry for that lil' rant...I've been needing to get that off my chest for years (lol).  Anyway, what these great healers knew is that the human body is hardwired to heal itself, and it is VASTLY more intelligent than any researcher or scientist.  What we need to do is ensure that all our organs are cleansed & decogested (and in proper working order) and assist our body in every way we can to heal ITSELF (without forcing it to do things with substances that are not natural to the human body).  This is an excellent "must read" that explains that truth:  How "Cure" Happens - Dr. Kenneth R. Sutter  And these two articles show just a bit how various supplements and isolated herbal preparations "force" actions that are anti-healing.  Unknown Dangers of Vitamin C (yep, Vitamin C, the most "innocent" of all supplements can cause serious harm).  Isolated/Standardized Extracts of plants & herbs

I've scanned through a few of your past posts (I always do that to try to find clues that will help me help others in the best way I can), and since I see there's some things that we might disagree upon, I just wanted to 'share the above'.  Nobody realizes more than me that the healing pathways each of choose to believe in are just as controversial as 'religion & politics'...and I certainly don't want to step on your toes or offend you (or anyone else).   I spent years researching, and found what I considered to be the most successful healers of this past century and then I spent more years learning and utilizing the protocols (and creating their herbal formulas)...and then I opened this forum to teach others how to learn to be their own doctors and take responsibility for their health via the most natural methodology possible (the most unnatural things I suggest are tinctures and juices...and even monkeys sometimes "juice" their produce, so they're not really unnatural). 

Back to the ginger, garlic & cayenne.  If following these great healers, one would have raw garlic and cayenne powder every day for the rest of our lives - the benefits are truly countless.  Ginger is excellent for so many different things, and I don't know of any reason not to have a bit of it daily unless "too much" creates a problem.  So good for you on those three! :)

Is it better to make a cayenne tincture or just put the 90k HU powder in water? I used to add it to a cup of boiling water and drink it when it cooled enough. I also have empty capsules and a capsule filling machine.  The 'cayenne info' in the previous links explained why not to use cayenne in capsules.  When taking the powder you can mix it with 'most anything you prefer.  I'm partial to a little concotion I created that I call an ACV Bomb.  Since Dr. Christopher suggested we should have a bit of raw/organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar before each meal (and cayenne powder 3x daily, and blackstrap molasses or raw/local honey daily...and Dr. Schulze suggests raw garlic)...and dosing with all that got to be kind of crazy, I thought it would be far easier to just mix them all together.  So I suggest mixing a tablespoon of ACV with a Tablespoon of blackstrap molasses or raw/local honey, add whatever dose of cayenne powder you're taking and a clove or two of raw garlic - add a couple of "gulps worth" of water or juice, and just get it all over with in one "dose" (rather than trying to remember/schedule taking them each separately).  You could mix up something like that with the ginger that'd likely be very beneficial for your liver (ginger & garlic are both chologogues that increase the flow of bile).

As far as the licorice "speeding up the bowels", yes - licorice is known to help ensure normal, healthy bowel activity (3-5 healthy bowel movements daily is what is normal...one upon waking, one 30 minutes or so after every meal and sometimes before retiring.  They should be about the color  of peanut butter and 'softly shaped' and about the consistency of custard...and odor free).  Bowel cleansing and healing are imperative for healing, so I hope you've "been there done that" :)

Thank you!  You're more than welcome!  Uny
