Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Pardon me for butting in, but mixing cayenne with DMSO seems rather redundant to me since they both do pretty much the same thing- that is carry stuff thru the skin and into the blood stream fast. Cayenne tincture made from the hottest peppers you can find and RAW ACV is a totally lifesaving remedy in and of itself. I am never very far away from a dropper bottle full. It will not only stop a heart attack in its tracks, it can very well make the difference of whether you survive an attack or even a stroke. Dr. Schultz relates an account where he revived a patient who had already died (within minutes of course) who had no ill effects later. Taken internally it cleans the plaque from your arteries, lowers blood pressure as well as increase the HDL levels. Aside from raw garlic its one of natures most precious of gifts. It works so fast and efficiently I wonder why adding DMSO would be necessary or even desired. I'd rather save the DMSO for where its actually needed.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I think what Bruce is trying to say is that DMSO might help if the Cayenne is being applied topically. DMSO alone, in oral dose, will stop a heart attack or a stroke. But of course in emergency the out come is unknown and every effort seems reasonable to ensure success. Making a DMSO Cayenne tincture might be the way to go, so that you have it ready ahead of time. I'm no expert at making tinctures but Doug has posted on this before. 1 part water to 3 parts DMSO, not sure how much Cayenne or what strength of Cayenne. There's some pretty hot stuff out there. You can also buy Capsaicin cream and follow that with DMSO in a pinch.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 This is the point I am trying to get across. Both cayenne (capsaicin) and DMSO have essentially the very same properties. Cayenne is added to other herbal tinctures in order to speed up absorption both internally as well as externally, both will stop a heart attack, both will clear arteries, etc., etc. So my question is to what advantage is it to have both in the same tincture when they both do the same thing? Please Im not trying to be argumentative, I would truly like to have this explained, but it just doesn't make sense to me to have both when either one will do the same job. We use Cayenne in a lot of our remedies because it is Capable of crossing the blood brain barrier and will drive the other herbs there too, that do not have this capability on their own. So my question is really, how are they different and in what way might they be beneficial used together? I make Cayenne tincture all the time, so adding the DMSO to the recipe is not a problem, I just want to know WHY? zoe Garnet wrote: > I think what Bruce is trying to say is that DMSO might help if > the Cayenne is being applied topically. > > DMSO alone, in oral dose, will stop a heart attack or a stroke. > > But of course in emergency the out come is unknown and > every effort seems reasonable to ensure success. > > Making a DMSO Cayenne tincture might be the way to > go, so that you have it ready ahead of time.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 All I can say is why not? We don't have any hard data to quantify effect and if it won't hurt it makes sense to me. Both are really cheap so no need to conserve. Maybe they would work really well together. I am not advocating either way. I just don't see any reason not to try them both when someone's life is at stake and you want to optimize the outcome.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I didn't know that cayenne was able to cross the blood-brain barrier. I knew that it was used in herb mixtures to give it a kick, and I use a lot of it. DMSO is used in combination with cayenne and used on Tennessee Walking Horses to cause extreme inflammation on parts of their legs so they pick them up high in shows to impress the judges. It's one of many cruel things they do to those horses. I wouldn't mix the two of them together. On the other hand, I saw a mare whose foal's hoof tore a hole in her uterus overnight. She was lying in a lake of caked blood when we got there in the morning. The owners finally got a vet there about noon and he discovered a spark of life in her. I watched the vet inject four gallons of saline solution and one gallon of DMSO into the horse. The vet said she had to get on her feet if she was going to live, so five of us lifted her up onto her feet. She made a complete recovery, except for a broken joint in her tail.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Garnet has identified my goal. As a 2 time heart attack survivor and someone whom allopathic medicos have stated that they are surprised that I have survived my medical emergencies, I'm extremely motivated to have on hand items that I can gulp and / or topically apply should, GOD FORBID, I begin to experience another heart attack. My understanding is that DMSO is primarily a pain reliever +, and can transdermally transport other sub 1000 dalton substances into the blood stream. Upon joining the list, I initiated the DMSO S:B thread and am quite satisfied with that exchange. My DMSO / cayemme pepper query is repeating my first initiated thread, now for cardiac. If an on hand DMSO / cayenne / other hot pepper concoction will thwart any future cardiac event, then I want to know what that concoction is and have it on hand. Basically, I want to continue dumbfounding the allopaths. Its becoming fun;-))))) I approve Garnet's message " Both are really cheap so no need to conserve. Maybe they would work really well together. I am not advocating either way. I just don't see any reason not to try them both when someone's life is at stake and you want to optimize the outcome. " So, let's devise the DMSO / cayenne / other hot pepper concoction. Bruce Chesley Truth is a terrible cross to bear.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thank you both for your replies. In searching I have found a couple formulas that do use both DMSO and Cayenne along with other things, so perhaps they do have some differences that are complimentary. This doesn't really answer my question but it does indicate that they can work together. I was concerned that one might hinder the others abilities, but apparently not. Does anyone here have experience with a product called Soothanol X2? Any comments will be appreciated. This is one that does use both DMSO and Cayenne and looked quite interesting. Craig, I was taught in herb school many years ago that cayenne crossed the blood brain barrier, and recently had access to an article that also stated this, but I am unable to find a website tonight that will verify, I will continue to look for this.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Whoaaaaaaaaaaa, Craig, Cayenne will never cause tissue destruction like many irritants and I guarantee that no walk'n horseman ever used it to sore up his horses, because it wont do the job. There are a lot of other nasty irritants that will work better and those boys have used. That is the whole beauty of cayenne, it will never kill tissue, even though you may feel like you are dying. It is even used in the eyes and I have! As far the other posts, cayenne and DMSO are not the same. Cayenne is a cardiac stimulant, DMSO is not and that is only the start of the differences. I routinely tincture cayenne in DMSO. In fact, I just sent 19 bottles off to Copperfield Stud in Limerick, Ireland as a leg paint for their racehorses. doug RE: Capsaicin could stop a heart attack in progress, scientists find I didn't know that cayenne was able to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Cayenne expands blood vessels while DMSO is a fast acting solvent that will carry oxygen and anything else one puts in it throughout the body very quickly. So it seems both together would be a win-win for a person suffering a heart attack. If taken orally, lordy-lordy, it must be awful! Re: Capsaicin could stop a heart attack in progress, scientists find This is the point I am trying to get across. Both cayenne (capsaicin) and DMSO have essentially the very same properties. Cayenne is added to other herbal tinctures in order to speed up absorption both internally as well as externally, both will stop a heart attack, both will clear arteries, etc., etc. So my question is to what advantage is it to have both in the same tincture when they both do the same thing? Please Im not trying to be argumentative, I would truly like to have this explained, but it just doesn't make sense to me to have both when either one will do the same job. We use Cayenne in a lot of our remedies because it is Capable of crossing the blood brain barrier and will drive the other herbs there too, that do not have this capability on their own. So my question is really, how are they different and in what way might they be beneficial used together? I make Cayenne tincture all the time, so adding the DMSO to the recipe is not a problem, I just want to know WHY?zoeGarnet wrote:> I think what Bruce is trying to say is that DMSO might help if> the Cayenne is being applied topically.>> DMSO alone, in oral dose, will stop a heart attack or a stroke.>> But of course in emergency the out come is unknown and> every effort seems reasonable to ensure success.>> Making a DMSO Cayenne tincture might be the way to> go, so that you have it ready ahead of time.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 The arguments are academic unless you have conditioned yourself to orally taking a teaspoon of cayenne or a teaspoon of DMSO. Easier said than done and you better stay in practice with cayenne. Can't say for sure if I had a mild heart attack or not on 5-08-08 while moving our youngest out of her dorm on a hillside in Boone NC. I don't think I've said a lot about that but I either had one or came mighty close. I may never really know and don't really want to because all MD's here now are nothing but in-takers for the maw of a large medical corporation. There are no more independent MD's here and I will only yield to trauma care- which the local establishment does excel at, I'll give them that. What I can say for sure is that both Cayenne and DMSO are great for the quick quelling of any manifesting heart problem that I've had, particularly irregular beating and fibrillation. However, they work only short term. You have to rebuild the heart with many minerals and chief among them is potassium iodide at least for me. And it was cheap and didn't take much. After years of taking all kinds of things for my heart, potassium iodide was the capstone. So now I'll reveal something- I started back drinking coffee and tea- LOTS of both- with nearly none of the previous problems they caused for my heart. When my wife found her breast lump, I went back to drinking coffee, and several kinds of tea, for the alertness to be able to search the internet for help for her. At that time I had gone 4 months in late '08 with no coffee or tea at all in order to get rid of my heart flutters. In early '09 I began to allow myself a small bit mostly on the weekends. I eventually found that because of my KI intake, the flutters did not re-occur. Because of many other pressures, in the last month or two I have poured coffee and tea down my throat like I hadn't done for several years. There has been very little effect on my heart. I now take a LOT of my homemade lipo-c. When I feel anything amiss with my heart, I take 4 things- first, cayenne, next salt, next magnesium and next SSKI. I don't overdo the SSKI. It takes very little to work once you've gotten loaded on it and the effect of too much is...heart flutters. I haven't had to take DMSO for my heart for many months now. One thing I want to re-iterate with cayenne: you don't have to burn yourself alive with ultra-hot cayennes. The common cayenne in the grocery store will work and I don't care what any cayenne guru says differently. The reason for buying cayenne from any internet vendor is quantity for price, not heat. I do very well on 40,000 SHU organic cayenne from Frontier Co-op. All my superhot cayennes that I paid so much money for are just sitting in a drawer. I've got some stuff that will burn its way back out like the monster in the movie Alien. DaddyBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Very simple. I try to raise my own habaneras and cayenne fruit and if you have a garden, that is the way to go. You can tincture it fresh or dried. I tend to think fresh is better. Basically, you take a mason jar and fill it half way up either with dried peppers or frsh pulp and add enough ethanol or DMSO to always keep the peppers slightly submerged at all times. I have a foodsaver vacuum device which I use to suck all the air out of the mason jar for more efficient maceration, too. I place in a dark, warm place from 2 weeks onward. I then filter and bottle. doug ----- Original Message ----- Would you be willing to share your cayenne/dmso tincture recipe please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I don't know how you can make the 'guarantee', unless you know that all those horsemen are lying when they say that they DO use DMSO and cayenne on their horses. The DMSO and cayenne for a heart attack is a reaction to an event. Preventing a heart attack is a lifestyle, not a reaction. Get enough vitamin C and other nutrients, and avoid hydrogenated oils and other bad things. To make this discussion even more confusing, I worked with a man from New Mexico who used a lot of hot peppers on his food, way more than I do. He said when he made his food too hot, it caused his heart to palpitate. He thought this was funny. He told me, "The antidote is sugar." I don't know if he meant the antidote for the burning or for the palpitation.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Craig, I can "guarantee" that cayenne will not cause tissue destruction and is not what walking horse people primarily use, because I have used and studied it for years. As an old racehorse trainer who dealt with blistering and other counter-irritation protocols for over 30 years, I also know what will and will not cause tissue destruction. Cayenne will not! You can get into trouble with hear-say. I spent most of my youth exhibiting show horses and I have had close contact with the walking horse crowd. They were not into cayenne. They liked driving nails up into the hoof or putting severe blisters around the coronary, anything to get a horse sore in front to make them want to place their rear legs underneath them to take the weight off the front end and to stimulate that terrible show ring style of running walk of nodding head and exaggerated rear leg extension. A sore horse will compensate and try to use the sound legs to carry most of its weight which is perfect for a walking horse trainer. Cayenne will not cause epidermal destruction or other types of tissue damage,,,,,,,,PERIOD! I guarantee it! Other herbs are not quite so forgiving. Take garlic for instance, it will cause tissue destruction! As far as all of your walking horse contacts, lying, I cannot say, but I have little respect for people that will do such inhumane acts, so lying is quite possible. Probably what is more likely is that they are not telling you the full story. There is probably far more other substances in their cayenne/DMSO blister than simply those two which they conveniently forgot to mention,,,,,,,,,,,,probably cedar oil or some thing similar was forgotten and included. Cedar oil will cause tissue destruction and soreness. I come from the /Nowell/ herbal schools of cayenne and they never have found that cayenne will cause adverse heart conditions despite what your New Mexican may think he is feeling. Craig, believe what you want, I have seen it all and have used DMSO/cayenne on my horses---have you? doug RE: Capsaicin could stop a heart attack in progress, scientists find I don't know how you can make the 'guarantee', unless you know that all those horsemen are lying when they say that they DO use DMSO and cayenne on their horses.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I use straight DMSO if I am tincturing the fresh pepper fruits which naturally have water in the fresh fruit. If you are using dried fruits, I would go with a 1:4 (water 1 part to 4 parts DMSO) dilution for my menstruum, generally speaking, though there could be some exceptions depending on the plant. NOTE that this is the strengths I use to macerate the herbs in the jar. Upon treatment, you can take the final tincture and dilute it down further when being applied to more sensitive places on the body. However in my 30+ years of treating horses, we normally put it on the horse full strength. You will get some epidermal drying, but that's about it. For comfort, humans should probably dilute strengths when applying to their more sensitive parts. doug ----- Original Message ----- Wow! So it’s actually straight DMSO?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 >Right you are, but my motto is the hotter the better,< Zoe- I think we are coming at the same problem from two different angles. Apparently you are using tinctures and such. For that, I agree about the heat. I was already a pepperhead and I'm a pretty straightforward kind of guy in everything I do, so I just take the straight pepper on a spoon, down the hatch chased by nothing but water. That can really burn you alive. I found out that by doing it that way, if I took superhot cayenne then I only succeeded in ruining my stomach. I once had to stop for 2 weeks to get over the damage I did. I also found out that I simply was not getting enough volume of cayenne that way and was not getting enough results in my heart. My working theory is that there are other synergistic compounds in cayenne that aid the work; Catalysts, I suppose. Anyway when I gave up the superhots and stuck with the milder stuff I got much better results with little or no stomach upset. Some things I learned along the way... Cayenne is an very strong stimulant. Want to stay up all night? Just pour hot sauce all over your supper. Cayenne is also an incredible pain reliever. I swore off pain killers years ago but have used cayenne and hot sauce for that purpose several times. Only thing is you won't sleep if you do it. And a tale of warning for anyone making any kind of concoction from peppers, or cooking with them, particularly habanero: I met a man a couple of years ago at a Bed and Breakfast in South Carolina. He had moved back home after living out west and working in grocery store management. When I met him it had only been about a year since he moved back to SC after a devastating injury. He was a real pepperhead and was experimenting with cooking jalapenos and habaneros. He sautéed some habaneros in his kitchen and got too much of the fumes in his lungs. It nearly killed him. A year later he wasn't fully recovered and probably had permanently lost some lung function. He was strenuous in his warnings about being careful with peppers. Nevertheless he was still pickling them and gave me a jar of his finest;>) DaddyBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
