Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne Pepper is said to cause stomach ulcer in some experiences. I think there should be an optimum quantity of intake and also the frequency that should be available for common folks awareness. I'll appreciate some definite info on this question.

Ihave had a stomach imflamation for years
maybe an ulcer, my sister had an ulcer and she said that, cayenne pepper got rid of it ?Is this true?

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Assoc., researchers used tiny video cameras to examine volunteers' stomach linings after both bland meals and meals liberally spiced with jalapeno peppers. The researchers found no difference in stomach conditions, concluding that "ingestion of highly spiced meals by normal individuals is not associated with gastrointestinal damage."
Therefore it is highly doubtful that cayenne pepper would cause a stomach ulcer, as far as curing one that is possible due to the fact that cayenne pepper prevents the growth of Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that cause ulcers.

Thanks for that, Linda. I believe it is a myth that spicy foods cause stomach ulcers. The general consensus is as you say, that the H. pylori bacteria is the main cause of most stomach ulcers.

what makes capsaicin cure some diseases?i am doing some research about this because of my research paper.

cayenne pepper actually BUILDS hydrochloric acid in the stomache. After all wouldnt stomache acid alone bore holes in the lining of of it? Also cayenne is the reason Mexican people dont get sick on thier water. cayenne kills parasites on contact.

Cayenne Pepper cured my cluster headaches earlier this year.

I heard that Cayenne Pepper helps with water retention is that true? And if so what pill would you suggest?

I put cayenne on almost everything I eat--thus, i have great skin, stand 5'3" and weight only 120 pounds--with no excercise.(i'm not proud of the "no excercise").

I sprinkle cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water with 2 tblspns of lemon juice, which I drink first thing upon rising in the morning. Works to detox the liver and improve overall health

Will i loose weight with cayenne pepper,and if yes, in what dosages should i take them.

I cut my finger pretty bad shucking oysters and cayenne pepper stopped the bleeding!

I'm trying cayenne on my cluster headaches as I type! I sure hope this works, or I'll be banging my head against a wall very soon!!!!

I used to suffer from stomach ulcers and after conventional medicine failed to help me, I tried taking cayenne powder in capsules. Almost immediately soothed the pain, and within 2 weeks of taking 2 capsules 3 times a day, I was symptom-free. I stopped taking the capsules at that point, and didn't have any trouble with ulcers until 6 years later. I started taking the cayenne again and within 3 days I felt fine, and haven't had any ulcer problems since then. that was 3 years ago.
