Cayenne Pepper

[Peter]

Can you can still do the master cleanse if you are pregnant?

I am not addicted to any prcoessed foods and decided not to eat meat anymore.

Burroughs doesn't say one way or another, but I don't recommend it. You don't want to detox and have the toxins go into the baby.

Fortunately, your current diet sounds pretty healthy.

For those not in the know, HU means heat units. It's a means of comparing the degree of heat from different kinds of peppers like jalapenos, habeneros, thai chilis, etc.

Any cayenne will do. The more heat, the faster the cleanse will work as cayenne dilates blood vessels and dissolves old waste. Some people like it very hot. Others not at all. Make it as hot as you can while still not being turned off by the heat. It won't do a person any good to make it so hot they don't want to drink the lemonade.

Thanks, Peter!

Hi Everyone....

This is my first time doing the master cleanser...well...did it once before but didn't even make it through the day. I wish I loved cayenne pepper but I hate it. It's day one, glass one and I can't stand the pepper. I have cayenne pepper pills that are 50000 heat units. If I take them instead, how many to I have to take a day? Plus I took one the last time I tried the cleanse and it felt like my stomach was going to explode for about an hour. Is that normal / okay?

Thanks

That sure sounds like a lot of cayenne pepper to me to put in your stomach at one time. Â*1/10 of a teaspoon is really pretty small. Maybe your putting in way to much. Â* I have some capsules too that I have opened. Â*I've been measuring with 1/8 teaspoon using a little less and I've gotten about four servings out of one capsule. Â*Hopefully someone who knows more about this will be able to help you. Â*

Hi guys,

Cayenne pepper certainly causes a lot of questions. Cayenne itself is regarded by leading herbalists as the most important herb of all!

Dr. Richard Schulze reports that people who take cayenne capsules don't receive much of the benefit of the cayenne compared to capsules!!

If you think about it, gelatin is made from boiled skin, bones and tendons. That's a lot of digestive work -- especially when everything else in the drink is vegetable or fruit!

Since we are not eating food to give the digestive system a chance to cleanse itself, taking cayenne capsules should not be done.

If you "can't drink cayenne" it's usually because you took too much at some time before this. Start with just a sprinkle and gradually increase it as you tolerate more.

The cayenne dissolves the old waste, dilates blood vessels and brings more circulation to all parts of the body which increases the speed of detoxification, cleansing and healing.

Decide to learn to take cayenne. It's much healthier.

Here is a link to a great web page on cayenne:

I purchased my MC supplies via the link on your website. Part of the package with a bottle of Cayenne Extra hot capsules. I did the cleanse for 10 days and did not use any of these capsules.

Why are they part of the kit? The instructions say to start taking the hot capsules on day 3. But your instructions say to break open capsules - and they say not to break open the hot capsules.

So I broke open the other capsules. I would drink the lemonade and then break 1 whole capsule into the last shot of lemonade and drink it down.

Was that too much cayenne pepper in one shot?

Please advise.

peter what can you say about this: ...... Another illusion associated with cayenne pepper is that it aids the healing process. Again, the truth is the exact opposite of what seems to be apparent. Since there is an increased outpouring of mucous when cayenne is eaten, it is falsely assumed that the pepper is cleaning out old mucous deposits from the body. Actually, the body secretes this extra mucous coating to protect itself from the harmful, irritating alkaloids in the peppers. It then uses the mucous secretions to eliminate these alkaloids. This is the body’s defensive response and should be recognized as such.�

Hi maryann8,

HumbleBeeHealth, who has a link on this bulletin board, sells capsules because they believe the capsules from their supplier are more potent than "ordinary" cayenne pepper from the store. I have never compared it, so I can't say if this is true or not. However, HumbleBeeHealth told me that their instructions say to open the capsules and sprinkle the cayenne into the drink.

As to hot or super hot cayenne and how much is too much, the cayenne breaks up mucus and acts as an "accelerator pedal" to speed the cleanse. Too much is when you don't want to drink the lemonade.

I hope this helps,
Peter

Hi Praktist,

I'd say that 1) It looks like a quote, but there's only one quotation mark. 2) It's somebody's opinion and everyone's entitled to one. 3) It is directly opposed to what Burroughs wrote about the origin of the Master Cleanse, which is it cured a man's stomach ulcer. 4) After all the benefits I've read about and heard in hundreds of people, I go along with Burroughs' statements. 5) However, that's not to say that it will work for everyone. Even penicillin doesn't work on people who are allergic to it. It kills them. So, everyone has to learn what works for their body. And finally, 6) Here's a link to a great website on cayenne as a medicinal herb

Hope that helps,
Peter
