I've never tried to meditate but I have my own way to work on stress,

especially when I can't sleep. I remember one of the personal

triumpants in my life, like the time I wrote a story for a journalism

class and the next week found it in the paper. I go over the whole

episode in my mind and remember the proud feelings and warm glow I

felt when others praised it. This always seems to help me relax and

counteracts the stress. I really try to focus on positive feelings as

I think they are as good for you as stress is bad.

My extreme chemical sensitivities make me be on guard every moment I am in

public. Most of the time, I think " water " . Just be like water, fluid, and

go along with everything Even if something happens, react to it like water.

Much of the time I spend dancing. This is the only thing I have found that

allows me to be free. When I become one with my partner, my stress is taken

away in the movement especially when I do not use my eyes, but rather allow

my body to feel the movement and dance..my mind can become very serene in

the center of creativity ...often I find that I become stressed because I am

holding back a FEELING.. sometimes, I find it good to sit in the center of

my sorrow or anger or fear and embrace it...then I can let it go and find

new strength ..when I am in public, I meditate and become very calm in the

midst of chaos..

Hi Sally

I have suffered from extreme stress for many years but have finally

got it under control. We all know that stress originates from the

mind - as I believe all illness does. I have studied this

phenomenum for many years and it has been proved to me beyond doubt

that this is so. When there is something in our life that we cannot

face, find too painful or difficult, the mind will make the body

sick (or stressed) to take our minds away from the situaton. I

learned all this from a beautiful spiritual book called 'A Course in

Miracles'. All spiritual teachings tell us to 'go with the flow' -

which really means to accept everything AS IT IS - and not try to

fight against it or change it. If we can do this (and I'm not saying

its easy)then we need never be sick! Anyway, I didn't come on here

to give you a spiritual lecture but this is how I was finally able

to overcome my stress.

As we all know, stress also causes our cholesterol levels to rise

and I just want to pass on a little tip that I hope helps. I

recently learned somewhere about the benefits of Cayenne Pepper and

the good effects it has on your blood. I'm a smoker, and quite a

heavy one, and I recently noticed that my feet were quite often a

mauve colour. This really worried me and I had visions of having my

legs amputated! Not nice! I read loads of stuff about cayenne -

especially how it thins the blood (there's lots to read on the

internet). Its recommended that you start off with just an eighth

of a teaspoonful in hot water (and brew for 10 minutes) and slowly

build up to a whole teaspoonful. Believe me - it was awful but I

asked myself what tasted better - the cayenne pepper or death? I

got myself up to a whole teaspoonful and it was gross. Trying to

find a better way of taking it, I decided to make a brew of black

tea and cayenne and added some sugar - and do you know what - I

really like it that way. My mauve feet syndrome disappeared on

first taking cayenne - it shoots blood all around the body in an

instant and I could see it working on my feet that quickly. So now I

have one or two cups a day and don't have any more problems.

Sorry - I've gone off track there! Cayenne pepper (the hotter the

better) is also great for lowering cholesterol levels apparently and

actually removes the build-up of it in your arteries etc. So - if

you can't get your stress levels down yet - please consider taking

Cayenne as it will save any damage in the meantime. And don't

forget to 'go with the flow'!

Best wishes

Hello again Sally

Yes, you can put cayenne pepper on or in your food and its still good for

you but I think drinking it has a much faster effect. I have read that a

certain doctor who used cayenne on his patients never lost a single patient

with a heart attack - as long as he was in the vicinity. I'm not sure if he

administered it as a drink or straight on the tongue! Yuk!

I'm sorry to hear about your back and neck pain and I know how badly this

can affect you, both mentally and physically, having suffered with it

myself. But again, I think I can help you there. I hope I'm not beginning

to sound like a 'know-all' - its just that I've studied the art of wellness

for many years and, at the grand old age of 62, I've learned an awful lot.

About a year ago I had lots of pain in all kinds of places - in my head (I

thought it was a tumor), the entire length of my thumb and half way up my

arm (which was dreadful because one uses their thumb for almost everything),

and in my knees. I have also suffered from lock-jaw since I was a young

girl so going to the dentist was a real nightmare. Then I received a

general mailing in the post - the kind you usually throw away - but this one

caught my eye. It was advertising a Chinese method of healing that was a

kind of cure-all. Apparently, the Chinese have been using this method for

thousands of years but their methods were very difficult to learn and, apart

from that, their secrets had never been passed on to the Western world. I

have to say that the course (on CDs and DVDs) was VERY expensive but I truly

wanted to be out of pain so it was the best money I've ever spent. Not only

do their methods cure pain but all other kinds of illnesses too. The

Chinese work on the theory that all illness and pain is simply a blockage

which needs to be unblocked - which is done very easily. The teacher of the

course is a lovely guy called Chun Yi Lyn and his motto is 'A healer in

every family and a world without pain'. There is a website where you can

read about his method - its called 'Spring Forest Qigong' . The URL is:

www.springforestqigong.com <http://www.springforestqigong.com/> .

I wouldn't recommend anything unless I'd tried it myself and I can honestly

say, hand on heart, that I don't have a single pain anywhere any more. The

fastest cure I experienced was my lockjaw - it disappeared in less than a

minute and has never returned! There are two courses to buy but I find that

I use the second one on myself (the one for healing others) more than the

first one for healing yourself because it covers many illnesses and general

problems. If you like the idea after looking at the website but find it too

expensive, I could try and explain to you what to do in an email.

Best wishes for a pain-free Sally!

Hello ,

I tried some today 1/8 teaspoon in some hot water, i let it infuse

for 10 minutes. It was manageable. I read about that doctor as

well as i googled cayenne yesterday. If the patient was unconscious

how did he get it down the patient?

I think he was talking about tincture which i suppose you can put on

tongue. They say if anyone has attack to put 1 teaspoon in warm

water and get them to drink and do that every 15 minutes. How on

earth can you get someone to drink that if they are in middle of

heart attack? And would you give that to someone. You would

probably get sued if they didn't make full recovery. He was a

doctor so probably okay for him to do that. I would do it for

family though of course, probably best to have tincture handy. The

gi-gong i have done before and do like those kind of exercises but

still have to be careful. I had quick look at the website but not

sure what it entails. Is it exercises or some other form of gi-

gong? I do understand about energy blocks. I have done an

acupressure course and in the middle of my advanced reflexolgy

course. I've also done reiki 1 and 2. I find treating myself not

as easy as treating others. Treating own feet for example hurts my

back. I want to start a business in the new year offering holistic

treatments. That is why i need to get myself healthy and hopefully

with vco helping my energy levels and thyroid problem i will

hopefully succeed. I'm going to use vco as massage oil mixed with

other oils and of course sing its praises to anyone that will listen

Hi !

I am a southeasterner and eat lots of chili peppers.

I worked up from 1/4 tsp to full tsp and always got the 'heat' over my body.

Actually red faced sometimes...

I now buy cayenne 130,000 HU by the pound and then encapsulate in tamped 'O'

size caps ~ 250 mg per cap. I take two caps morn and night. I do this for my

blood pressure and blood sugar.

If I do not eat right away (10 minutes) sometimes I get this upwelling of

tingling heat in my tummy, almost like I am going to up-chuck. I also get some

sweat pearls on my upper lip occasionally. It is a weird feeling but after dying

down I feel great.

Love

Hi, Bob

What is an optimal dose? Can you have too much?

Osiyo Sally!

Hello Sally!

Optimal dose?

Too much?.

Everyone is so different there is no set dose. You must experiment and take as

much as you can stand, probably as much as a tbs three times a day until

maintenance of one 'O' size cap ~ 250 mg twice daily.

Expect your body temp to rise also and feel warm most of the time. I love it

cause my neuropathy feet seem cold all the time. i also notice my eyesight gets

better too.

I have been taking a tbs of vco with everymeal and have found that if I eat too

much of the wrong foods I will get a severe lethargic sensation and immediatly

fall asleep for a short time.

Love

Bob
