Cayenne Pepper

[Guest]

I am 54yo. 5'5 and 257# and am planning on using the cleanse as a stepping stone to hopefully better eating. and of course weight loss.
This is day one and I have take one small spoonful of dried 'crushed red pepper' that I have on hand. Actually have about 3 jars or so of it as I bought it on sale a long time ago and it has not been used.
My question: It seems like all the comments and replies I have read about the cayenne seems to be about it in powdered form. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments about using it in the dried form?
Thanks in advance for any and all comments. I have appreciated reading the bulletin board. It is very helpful plus all the support that is given. Thanks again

Lynn,
Your link for the reading of the Master Cleanse does not work. Would you please post it correctly? Thank you.

Does anyone know how much is in one capsule? I'm putting the contents of one capsule in each drink, and it tastes fine to me, but I am used to spicy things. I just want to know HOW MUCH I'm putting in when I use a capsule....
Thanks

Radiant,

Why don't you just pour a capsule into a measuring spoon (1/8 or 1/4) and see how much you get... is it powder or liquid? If powder you can see how many it takes to fill 1/2 tsp for example and then get a feel for what that is re: 10ths. e.g. 1/2 tsp = 5/10 if it took 5 capsules 1 capsule would equal 1/10th and that would be exactly right! anyway, just a suggestion!

Best, DebJ

If i remember correctly from the last time i measured, it took about 2 nature's way capsules to fill 1/2 tsp

Cool. That's what I wanted to know.
