Re: Yep, here ya go! :) Re: Uny, can you comment on this?

my only 'defense' of this idiocy is to present the suggestion that "spicy food" to most people equates to restaurant or fast food, and in that case, very often, the good qualities of hot peppers would be altered substantially, by reheating, overheating, excess deep-frying, microwaving, you name it. And this kind of behaviour won't help a person heal enything.

But the fresh, raw peppers? The dried? The preserved, as in the Master Tonic, tinctured, and other such well-made elixirs? This is a whole other realm, my gut says.

This reminds me of something Mercola published the other day, that is the same form of damning by association. He suggests you not drink cranberry juice "because most of it is sweetened" with bad sugars. Nice of him to point that out. But absurd to tell people "Don't drink cranberry juice" (let alone eat the whole cranberry) Instead, he wants people to take D-mannose for what ails them, and forget about synergy and wholeness. It's about the patent.
The same old parts and pieces approach, in new clothes.

This MD may well be prescribing some capsicum supplement, soon. But ONLY a supplement. Keeping people, yet again, divided from what's whole, and Natural, and wholly in the dark. The blind leading the blind. It's all about the divide and conquer.
