"Make Your Own Cayenne Tincture at Home."

BISER: Is it difficult to make your own cayenne tincture?

SCHULZE: It's easy Just follow these steps:
1. Start to make this and ANY Tincture, if possible, on a NEW Moon.
2. Take a Quart Canning Jar and fill it 1/4 FULL with DRIED Cayenne Peppers, getting the HOTTEST ones (i.e. - Habanero, African Bird, Serrano, Jalapeno), that you can obtain.
3. Add enough 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to the Cayenne Peppers (powdered, using a Blender or Grinder) to just COVER them.
4. Use enough FRESH Cayenne Peppers, that you can blend with 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to turn the Mixture into an Apple Sauce-Like Consistency.
5. Add this Mixture to the 1st Mixture, filling up the Canning Jar 3/4 FULL.
6. Fill up the rest of the Canning Jar with MORE 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka).
7. Shake it as MANY times as possible, during the Day.
8. Let this Mixture sit, until the following FULL Moon (15-16 Days), but OPTIMALLY until the following NEW Moon (28-29 Days)!
9. Strain this Mixture through an UNBLEACHED Coffee Filter.
10. Bottle the RESULTING Tincture.

NOTE: Part EQUALS Volume, NOT Weight in this Tincture Method. Modify this procedure by using DRIED Herbs ONLY, if FRESH Herbs are NOT AVAILABLE, and when making other Herbal Tinctures also. Also if you want to make a SUPER-POTENT Tincture (i.e. - Cayenne Pepper & Lobelia Seed Pod - see below), then allow the Mixture to sit for a FULL 3 Months!

"Can Cayenne Pepper Help Cure Cancer?"

BISER: What about cayenne for cancer? Or is this going too far?

SCHULZE: Absolutely not. First, as I mentioned earlier; cancer, like many diseases, can be caused, in the first place, by a lack of circulation to the area. The nutrition and healing herbs are not getting in, and the waste is not getting out of the area. Cayenne increases blood flow to the cancer.

But, there are many other reasons. Capsaicin, one of the potent chemicals in cayenne pepper, has been proven to protect your DNA, and cells, from attack by toxic molecules, like, from cigarette smoke and other pollutants.

I once had a patient who dissolved his brain tumor by using massive doses of cayenne pepper. This man was in his 5O's and he was diagnosed with a rapidly advancing, malignant, brain tumor.

With this tumor, they said that even with surgery radiation, and chemotherapy he would only have a 5% chance of survival. when he came to me, it was evident that he had no idea what natural healing really was and he was not going to make any major changes in his lifestyle.

He was a big fan of Dr. Christopher, and asked if cayenne would help him. He said he liked it, and I said, if that's all you are going to do, then you must take it in large doses, and he agreed. After one and a half months of taking massive doses of cayenne pepper, and not much else, the tumor was totally dissolved.

BISER: What do you mean by "massive doses'?

SCHULZE: He used ten teaspoons a day for the first month. I have actually had patients use up to sixteen teaspoons a day

When the doctors discovered that the cancer was gone, they suggested an exploratory brain surgery He told me he replied, "I'll leave my body to science, but not until I'm dead, please!"

This one case shows you the power of a simple substance, cayenne pepper, to affect one of the worst of mankind's diseases.

BISER: Thank you, Dr Schulze.

"One of My Readers was Scheduled for Surgery to Have Hls Veins Scraped Out.
Within Days, Cayenne Pepper Saved Him and the Operation Wasn't Needed!"
--- Sam Biser, Editor

The man was terrified of the operation.

His legs were aching constantly. Doctors told him it was blood clots and clogged arteries in the veins in his legs. He was scheduled for surgery to open up his veins and clean them out.

Out of fear, he asked someone who was into natural healing what to do ---- but he thought the answer was pure nonsense. He was a skeptic who loved everything medical.

But, he tried the cayenne pepper anyway. It had been recommended to him. He took three level teaspoons a day mixed in some cold water.

Within two days, his legs weren't aching as much and the swelling was going down. His feet, which had normally been frigid, were as warm as a baby's bottom. His hands, which had also been icy and cracked, were now warm, also. He went back to his doctor; who said his veins are so much better that he doesn't need the operation. All the doctor could do was scratch his head and say "You know we doctors don't believe in herbs!"

When I heard the story I got excited myself of course, I had known about cayenne, for years. But I had hardly ever taken it. Now I wouldn't miss. The man's story sold me.

This reader wasn't the only person who was ever skeptical about the powers of cayenne. So was Dr. John Christopher, the late Master Herbalist.

Dr. Christopher was a personal friend of mine. Here is what he told me about what cayenne did for him...

"I would never have lived long enough to see my granddaughter- if it weren't for cayenne pepper. It saved my life."

"When I was 35, the doctors said I would be dead by 43.1 had advanced hardening of the arteries. The veins would stick out of my hands like pencils.

"I also suffered from crippling arthritis, stomach ulcers, and was the victim of two horrible auto accidents. No insurance company would touch me - not even for a $1,000 policy.."

"I started taking cayenne pepper three times a day in hot water. I did this for ten years. when I was 45,1 went for a physical. The doctor measured my blood pressure. He was stunned! He thought his equipment was broken. My blood pressure was perfectly normal."

When Dr. Christopher first learned about cayenne pepper, he asked, "Why are we studying cayenne? It will burn the lining of our stomach!"

Everyone in the class laughed, except the teacher, Dr. H. Nowell, a great herbalist. This was in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the Dominican Herbal College.

Dr. Nowell asked, "Where did you get your information?" The young John Christopher replied that his mother told him. Again everyone laughed.

Then, the professor asked, "Just what was her herbal degree?" "Well, I guess she had none at all," he replied.

"That's interesting," Dr. Nowell said. "Could I see you after class?" After class, he drove John Christopher around Vancouver in his car. He introduced him to a dozen people whose lives had been saved by cayenne. They all praised it to the skies. Some were saved from heart attacks and severe asthmatic conditions, by using cayenne.

Dr. Nowell didn't have to do this, but he was a great teacher. He took the time to show his student how great cayenne could be if it were used properly on the human body Dr. Christopher never forgot that experience.

At that time, Dr. Christopher was in very poor health himself He had severe hardening of the arteries. The regular medical doctor said he would be dead in eight years.

So Dr. Christopher started taking cayenne pepper, himself. "I continued from the time I was 35 and am still using it. It was amazing! Ten years after I had started using cayenne, a group wanted me to have a $100,000 policy to insure them on the business deal we were working out."

"I went for the examination. Since this was a large policy the insurance company required two medical doctors, each to give two physicals at various times. That was a total of four physicals.

"I took the examination and one medical doctor; when he got through, said, "Well, this is astounding. I see your age is 45, but you have the venous structure of a teenage boy I've never seen anything like it."

He said, "This is excellent," and he gave me a clean bill of health. I went to the other doctor; and on his second examination, he did the blood pressure test on my arm. He pumped his equipment up five different times and my arm was getting irritated by it. I was getting a little perturbed.

I said, "What's the matter? Doesn't your equipment work?" The doctor replied, "Oh yes, it always has, up till now but I keep looking at your chart and it says you are 45 years of age and yet your systolic over your diastolic pressure is absolutely perfect. I cannot comprehend it." I said, "That's correct. It is perfect." And he also gave me a clean bill of health. So I passed, at 45 years of age, for a $100,000 policy with a good blood pressure, thanks to cayenne.

This, to me, is one of the biggest selling points of cayenne. If it could help me, it could help anyone. At the age of 70, a few years before he died, Dr. Christopher was asked by a pre-med student if he could take his blood-pressure reading. It was the pressure of a healthy young man, not a 70-year-old man.

"Karate Expert Cures Lifetime of High Blood Pressure."

Here's another miracle story on cayenne that Dr. Christopher told me.

"Several years ago, I was traveling with an athlete who had a black belt in karate. He was a rather husky guy. His problem was that he came from a family with a history of high blood pressure.

"His own mother had died from high blood pressure and he, himself, suffered from high blood pressure. In fact, his condition was getting worse.

"The karate expert marveled at the stamina that an older man, like myself, had.

"He noticed that I would take a spoonful of cayenne, every morning, in a glass of water. He wanted to know if that would help his problem. I told him it would, but that he wasn't man enough to take it. I told him he wasn't brave enough.

"Well, the reverse psychology worked.

"I noticed that my supply of cayenne pepper was gradually disappearing. when we returned from traveling, the man continued taking the cayenne, one teaspoon three times a day.

"By spring, he had an amazing surprise when he went to his doctor for his blood pressure three or four times, and the doctor said, "This is supposed to become progressively worse. I don't know what has happened. Your blood pressure is perfect. You do not need to come back anymore."

"Today this gentleman, who lives in the Salt Lake City area, has no high blood pressure, because he kept taking the cayenne. It is amazing --- so never, never overlook a good thing.

"The same man in this story also suffered from terrible hemorrhoids. He had to wear a special belt to keep his hemorrhoids up in place. The cayenne pepper also cleared up this problem, too. His hemorrhoids completely disappeared! He could hardly believe it.

"An eight-year-old boy was shot with a gun. Blood was gushing out both sides. A neighbor mixed cayenne with water and poured it down the boy's throat..."

Besides lowering high blood pressure and eliminating hemorrhoids, cayenne is fantastic for stopping bleeding. Listen to this true story Dr. Christopher used to tell his audiences.

"Once a child was shot in the abdomen; a bullet hit the spine, ricocheted, and made a second wound leaving the body. One of Dr. Christopher's herbal students living next door heard the shot and raced over. She knew that the parents were not home and that the children, ages eight and four; should not be shooting guns.

"When she arrived, the eight-year old was gushing blood out both his sides. They had been playing 'cops and robbers' with their father's guns which she found under the pillow.

"She ran to the cabinet and mixed a tablespoonful of cayenne in a glass of water. She then poured it down the boy's throat and called the ambulance which was 18 miles away.

"By the time you count to ten, cayenne will stop the bleeding."

'The emergency room attendant said that the boy would probably bleed to death, being that the distance was so great. The ambulance arrived and rushed the child to the Primary Children's Hospital, 18 miles away.

"When the child arrived at the hospital, he was the center of attention, not because his condition was so serious, but because he was chatting a mile a minute --- and there was NO bleeding!

"The bleeding had stopped by the time they arrived at the hospital. The chief doctor said to the parents, "I have seen many accident victims in my life, but this is the first time, in such an emergency operation, that I have opened an abdomen to find no blood, except k)r a small amount that was there before the bleeding stopped so quickly.

"The cayenne pepper has saved your boy's life."

In that same year, Dr. Christopher treated four other gunshot victims. Each case responded the same. Sometimes, the blood coagulates and comes out in clumps before it stops completely. By the time you count to ten, the heavy bleeding should stop, completely after administering cayenne.

Dr. Christopher has even used cayenne tincture, directly on open wounds. It may sting a little, but the bleeding stops.

In wounds, even if the wound is cut and exposed to the bone, that wound may be filled with cayenne pepper. If cayenne is not available, black pepper may be used. Many people, when they see the skin ruddied by cayenne, believe that the skin is irritated. But, cayenne is a counter-irritant.

What cayenne is doing is bringing the blood to the surface to take away any toxic poisons and to start the healing. The redness comes to the skin from the blood that has rushed to the surface to assist carrying off wastes. (Don't use in the vaginal area, by itself.)

Dr. Christopher believed that cayenne was one of the finest foods for the heart. He wrote, "I have used cayenne so many times over the years with such success. We have been called out time after time on heart attack cases. Cayenne always saves them."

"In 35 years of practice, and working with people and teaching, I have never; on house calls, lost one heart attack patient. The reason is, whenever I go in, if they are still breathing, I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water.) Usually within minutes, they are up and around.

"Cayenne is one of the fastest-acting aids we could give to the heart. It feeds the heart immediately Most hearts are suffering from malnutrition because of the processed food we are eating.

"But, cayenne is a powerful dose of real food. It is something that has brought people back time after time. This is something that everyone should know about, because a heart attack can come to your friends and loved ones at any time - and even yourself

"I received an emergency call in the middle of the night. A woman in Salt Lake City had just suffered a severe heart attack and passed out."

"I rushed over and fed the woman hot cayenne tea. Within minutes, she was sitting up feeling fine."

"The hot cayenne tea is faster-working than tablets, capsules or cold tea. The warm tea opens up the cell structure - and makes it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster. It goes directly to the heart through the artery system and feeds it a powerful food.

"To show the value of cayenne - how great it is - and what a wonderful heart food it is, this story has been repeated in a number of publications. Doctors in the East put some live heart tissue into a sterile beaker filled with distilled water and fed it nothing but cayenne pepper. They cleaned off sediments, periodically and added nothing but distilled water and cayenne.

"During the time that they were feeding the heart tissue, they would have to trim it, continually every few days because it would grow so rapidly Having no control glands (the pituitary and pineal glands), the heart tissue just continued to grow rapidly They kept the tissue alive for 15 years. After the doctor; himself, died, his associates kept the heart tissue alive for two more years.

"They eventually destroyed it so they could do more research on it. This shows the high food value cayenne gives to the heart.

"This is why so many amazing instances have come to light from people who have used cayenne when they had heart attacks. In most cases, a weak heart is a malnourished heart. The heart hasn't had a decent meal for so long that it is practically starved. We give the heart a good meal.

"We don't whip it with nitroglycerin or digitalis or some other type of drug to force it to beat rapidly. We try to bring more food value to the heart so that it could find a little help to keep it going.

"Here, we give cayenne directly to the system, and it goes in to the heart area acting as a good full meal. Many fast responses come from this."

Here is Dr. Christopher's advice for treating someone who has suffered a heart attack.

Prepare one teaspoon of cayenne in one cup of hot water. Steep until it is cool enough to drink without scalding. Prop up the patient and pour the cayenne tea down the patient. The heart attack will stop immediately --- in about two minutes. Dr. Christopher has been called in the middle of the night, many times. (Dr. Schulze uses a tablespoon, not a teaspoon of cayenne. Why take chances when someone could die?)

'A teaspoon of cayenne should bring the patient out of the heart attack. In case cayenne is not around, and you or a friend has a heart attack, use triple the dose of black pepper." Dr. Christopher believed that cayenne was one of the best foods for the circulatory system.

"Cayenne Reduces the Mucus in the Venous System and Thus Increases the Circula Don."

He wrote, "One of the most important uses of cayenne is as a circulatory stimulant, an herb that feeds the necessary elements into the cell structure of the arteries, veins and capillaries. It helps to reduce and normalize the blood flow

"Cayenne equalizes the blood pressure, influencing the heart immediately and then extending its effects to the venous structure. It also works to cut the mucus in the venous system, and, indeed, all the systems throughout the body"

Here is a true story about the phenomenal powers of cayenne to increase circulation. It is taken from a rare book entitled, "The Healing Miracles of Cayenne Pepper".

"In 1870, there was a lumberjack named James McCann, a young man who started to go back to the states by way of California. He reached Parowan with both feet frozen above his ankles. He was left with me (Dr. Meeks) to have both feet amputated as it was thought there was no possible chance to save his life without amputation.

In 1870, the doctors wanted to amputate both of this man's feet. They were frozen above his ankles. All he was given was cayenne. It saved both feet!

"I was at my wits end to know what to do. I saw no choice other than amputation. Then an impulse seemed to strike my mind as though by inspiration that I would give him cayenne pepper inwardly and see what effect that would have on the frozen feet.

"I commenced by giving him rather small doses, at first. It increased the warmth and power of action of his blood to such a degree that it gave him such pain and misery in his legs that he could not eat it. He laid down on his back and elevated his feet up against the wall for three or four days and then he could sit up in a chair.

"The frozen flesh would rot and drop down from his foot when it would be on his knee, clear down to the floor, just like buckwheat batter, and the new flesh would form as fast as the dead flesh would get out of the way In fact, the new flesh would seem to crowd the dead flesh out to make room for the new flesh.

"The Healing Power of the Body is in the Blood. Cayenne Purifies the Blood."

"That was all the medical treatment he had, and to my astonishment, and that of everyone else who knew of the circumstances, the 16th day affer I gave him the first dose of pepper, he walked nine miles from Parowan to Red Creek and back. Both his feet were saved! He lost but 5 toenails.

"The healing power of nature is in the blood. To accelerate the blood is to accelerate the healing power of nature. I am convinced that there is nothing like cayenne and you will find it applicable in all cases of sickness."

The natives in the West Indies don't fear the deadly yellow fever - as long as they have a good supply of cayenne!

In the West Indies, a preparation called "Mandram" is used for weak digestion. This is made with sliced, unskinned cucumbers, shallots, chives, lemon juice and a few pods of cayenne well-mashed-up in the liquids.

These natives also soaked the cayenne pods in water, added sugar and the juice of sour oranges, whenever they had a fever. You, too, should consider taking cayenne when a chill is coming on, to offset a cold or to help break a fever.

Cayenne is used in folk medicine in many parts of the world, especially Greece, Italy and parts of Russia. In parts of Russia, cayenne is steeped in Vodka and drank as a tonic in wineglass doses. (This is almost identical to the instructions for cayenne tincture. No wonder most Russians are healthier than we are.)

The scientific name for cayenne pepper is "capsicum." This comes from the Greek word, "kapto" meaning "1 bite" --- a biting plant. According to federal specifications, capsicum is classified in three major groups. Each group is rated according to BTU's (British Thermal Units.) This rates how "HOT" the pepper is.

Paprika: This is any "red pepper" that has a BTU rating of one or under Red Pepper: This is any "red pepper" that has between 1 and 25 BTU's Cayenne: Any "red pepper" with a rating of 25 or more BTU's can be labeled as cayenne.

The part of the cayenne plant that is consumed is the fruit. The seeds contain the oil which is also effective. However, the oil is highly concentrated. Use very sparingly Dr. Christopher thought so highly of cayenne that he used it in a large number of his formulas. He said, "We can do wonderful things with cayenne that we are not able to do with any other known herb. It should never be classified with black pepper, vinegar or mustard. These are irritating, while red pepper is very soothing.

The easiest way to use cayenne is to just sprinkle it on your food, as you would black pepper. Use a little at first, and increase it as you get accustomed to it. Even children will enjoy it. Use cayenne a lot and you'll live a long, healthy life!
