ARTICLE EXCERPT:
What if there was a common household spice that could rebuild the gut
wall to improve digestion, destroy cancer cells, stop a heart attack in
its tracks, and was useful for weight loss? I’m assuming you’d want to
know more about it, right?
The hot fruit of the cayenne plant (“capsicum annuum”)
has been used as a superb culinary spice for centuries and may be the
most valuable medicinal herb in the entire plant kingdom for many of the
reasons mentioned above!
High in vitamins A, C, B complex,
calcium, and potassium, studies have shown that cayenne can rebuild the
tissue in the stomach and the peristaltic action in the intestines.
Moreover, cayenne acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of
other herbs and alternative cancer treatments.
Have you ever gone
after the chips and salsa with gusto and then felt flushed while your
nose started to run a little bit? Cayenne warms the body and stimulates
the release of mucus from the respiratory passages. If you’ve ever eaten
a fresh hot pepper, you know it clears the sinuses and causes sweating.
Cayenne
peppers raise the body temperature as it stimulates circulation and
blood flow to the skin. Herbs that promote fever and sweating are
considered to have a diaphoretic (sweat-inducing) action which helps
reduce fever and relieves the congestion of colds and sinusitis.
The
active ingredient in cayenne is called capsaicin and in 2004, Dr.
Sanjay K. Srivastava and colleagues (University of Pittsburgh School of
Medicine) treated pancreatic cells with capsaicin. They found that it
disrupted mitochondrial function and induced apoptosis (programmed cell
death) in cancerous cells without affecting normal pancreatic cells!
The results of the study were published in the April 20, 2005, issue of Innovations Report, in which Dr. Srivastava stated:
Our results demonstrate that capsaicin is a potent anticancer agent, induces apoptosis in cancer cells and produces no significant damage to normal pancreatic cells, indicating its potential use as a novel chemotherapeutic agent for pancreatic cancer.”
