Re: Cayenne and sneezing

I love cayenne too, and used to take it in water every day for months, but I did find out a couple of potentially negative things about it. 1)it supposedly can aggravate the sinuses. I don't say this from experience, I had just read that in a few spots, but 2)what happened with me was that I ended up having a solanine toxicity. Solanine is found in peppers(cayenne), tomatoes, potatoes, and eggpplant. It builds up in the liver and causes arthiritic symptoms. Some believe that a lot of Arthritis sufferers are actually solanine toxic. So, I had to go off it for 3 months and now I am fine, although, to be honest I don't necessarily felling any better in my joints etc.., but I think that has more to do with endocrine imbalance.
As far as the sneezing, I remember often having to blow my nose after taking the cayenne. There's something about it that stirs up the mucous in our bodies/sinuses. It may be a good thing wherein it allows us to release excess mucous, but I really don't know. I hope you can keep enjoying it. d
