Used for centuries by Native Americans and the Chinese, and brought to Europe by Columbus, Cayenne pepper's ancient curative powers have been confirmed by modern science. This guide surveys its medicinal uses. These include improving blood circulation, reducing the pain and inflammation of arthritis, alleviating colds and flu, and home remedies for common ailments. There is also a heat-intensity rating for different varieties of what is truly a "spice of life."

The Health Benefits of Cayenne,

This review is from: The Health Benefits of Cayenne (Paperback)
My husband and I and several friends have read this book, and we found it very interesting and have started a regimine of the Cayenne, along with Lecithin. My cholesterol count went from 241 down to 174 within three weeks! This is a wonderful alternative to the basic statin drugs!! I am amazed at the results...my doctor was too!
Thanks S. Selix

Very good no nonsense book,

This review is from: The Health Benefits of Cayenne (Paperback)
Dr Heinerman gets to the point regarding the various conditions and issues readers may wish to address concerning the benefits of cayenne pepper. For it's size, this book is packed with amazing remedies. Total value for the money. So affordable, you may consider buying a dozen to give to people you care about. It's a nice complement for the book, "Left For Dead", (my cayenne discovery book about 3 years ago). Since then,I've learned by taking cayenne and garlic I don't need prescription drugs that I was on for heart disease after by-pass in '97. What's great about that is losing the side-effects, plus being able to use food, and other herbs, spices, and seeds, (which I couldn't consider while on drugs) be my medicine. Be encouraged, this is a great discovery and, hopefully, soon you too will have testimonies to tell. A. Prouty
