Capsicum Cayenne Supplements
Capsicum supplements improve circulation and enhances blood flow, assists in lowering blood pressure and breaking down cholesterol and blood clots and kills cancer cells.
Capsicum is believed to be the single most beneficial herb in the entire herbal kingdom. Many herbalists have said that if they could have only one herb to work with, they would choose Capsicum. We do marvelous things with it that we are not able to do with any other known herb. Please understand that the key to success in healing the body is stimulation, and Capsicum is the great stimulant.
Capsicum (red pepper) is the most pronounced, natural and ideal stimulant known in the entire materia medica. It cannot be equaled by any known agent when a powerful and prolonged stimulant is needed for congestive chills, heart failure, bleeding and other conditions calling for quick action.
The entire circulation is affected by this agent and there is no reaction. In this it stands alone as the ideal...Capsicum increases the power of all other agents, helps the digestion when taken with meals, and arouses all the secreting organs. Whenever a stimulant is indicated, Capsicum may be given with the utmost safety...It is the only natural stimulant worth considering for diarrhea, dysentery with bloody mucus, stools, and offensive breath.
Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. It is the purest and most certain stimulant...The herb is a great food for the circulatory system in that it feeds the necessary elements into the cell structure of the arteries, veins, and capillaries so that these regain the elasticity of youth again, and the blood pressure adjusts itself to normal. It rebuilds the tissue in the stomach and heals stomach and intestinal ulcers, in equalizing the blood circulation, cayenne produces natural warmth, and in stimulating the peristaltic motion of the intestines it aids in assimilation and elimination....When the venous structure becomes loaded with sticky mucus, the blood has a harder time circulating, therefore, higher pressure forces the liquid through.
"Cayenne regulates the flow of blood from the head to the feet so that it is equalized, it influences the heart immediately then gradually extends its effects to the arteries, capillaries, and nerves - the frequency of the pulse is not increased, but is given more power," Dr. John R. Christopher.
The health benefits of Capsicum include:
- Capsicum reduces Blood Pressure - Dilates blood vessels allowing increased blood circulation.
- Capsicum Fights Fatigue - Increased circulation results in immediate lowering of the blood pressure and results in increased distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body.
- Capsicum Reduces Risk of Blood Clot - Thins the blood by decreasing blood levels of fibrin, reducing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
- Capsicum Lowers Cholesterol - By binding cholesterol and bile acids in the intestinal tract, the body is able to excrete more cholesterol.
- Capsicum Kills Cancer Cells
A new study published in the journal Cancer Research says that tumors treated with Capsicum, an ingredient found in pepper, shrank considerably in size. It was also found that this ingredient also "killed" prostate cancer cells. Researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center studied the effect of pepper in mice, who were genetically modified to have human prostate cancer cells.
The mice were treated to 400 milligrams of Capsicum three times a week equivalent to three and eight fresh habanero peppers. It was found that Capsicum induced the prostate cancer cells to undergo apoptosis or natural death. Cancer cells usually avoid this process and hence are able to multiply at a very rapid rate. "Capsicum had a profound anti-proliferative effect on human prostate cancer cells in culture. It also dramatically slowed the development of prostate tumors," said Dr Soren Lehmann, who led the study.
Researchers at Nottingham University find capsicum triggers cancer cell death by attacking mitochondria - the cells' energy-generating boiler rooms.
The study showed that the family of molecules to which capsicum belongs, the vanilloids, bind to proteins in the cancer cell mitochondria to trigger apoptosis, or cell death, without harming surrounding healthy cells. Capsicum was tested on cultures of human lung cancer cells and on pancreatic cancers.
Lead researcher Dr Timothy Bates said: "As these compounds attack the very heart of the tumor cells, we believe that we have in effect discovered a fundamental 'Achilles heel' for all cancers. "The biochemistry of the mitochondria in cancer cells is very different from that in normal cells. "This is an innate selective vulnerability of cancer cells."
He said a dose of capsicum that could cause a cancer cell to enter apoptosis, would not have the same effect on a normal cell. The fact that capsicum and other vanilloids are already commonly found in the diet proves they are safe to eat.
Dr Bates said: "Capsicum, for example, is already found in treatments for muscle strain and psoriasis - which raises the question of whether an adapted topical treatment could be used to treat certain types of skin cancer. "It's also possible that cancer patients or those at risk of developing cancer could be advised to eat a diet which is richer in spicy foods to help treat or prevent the disease." Investigation and development of anti-mitochondrial drugs for cancer chemotherapy was likely to be "extremely significant" in the fight against cancer.
