3 Reasons Every Prepper Should Grow Cayenne Peppers

“You might not be able to “live” on peppers, but they are a great survival plant that just makes life better.” Prepper Project

CayennePepperWhen people think about “living off the land” or “growing all their own food,” they usually think about growing plants like grains or potatoes.

Maybe they imagine keeping some cattle, or perhaps planting a rolling pecan plantation.

I’m sure cayenne peppers rarely make anyone’s list. Even the beloved jalapeno is lucky to make the survival gardener’s notebook.

There’s a simple reason for this, of course. It’s because you can’t munch on hot peppers. If you were to harvest a basket of them, you could technically count them as food… but if you were to eat them like carrots, it would hurt, hurt, hurt.

So – why am I calling cayenne peppers a “great survival plant?”

Candida Fighting Foods

Candida
Cloves

Lucy Morales – Candida Albicans is a type of yeast that can occur in the human gut. According to research, 70% of people have candida colonies in their intestines, mouth or skin, however the candida in your gut is typically kept in balance by healthy gut bacteria. The problem is that candida can over run your system if our bacterial balance is upset by factors like antibiotics, poor diet, alcohol consumption, prescription drugs, diabetes or pregnancy.

As the candida infections spreads, the overgrowth releases nasty toxic byproducts into your body causing numerous unpleasant symptoms. Candida frequently causes superficial infections but may also cause systemic infections. Candida Albicans can also cause issues like chronic fatigue and serious digestive issues, which can negatively — and dramatically — affect your quality of life.

Candida infection isn’t pleasant, but it is manageable. Try incorporating some of these foods into your diet. Here are 10 foods proven to be effective in fighting the problem. Continue reading

Stop A Heart Attack In 60 Seconds With Cayenne Pepper!

Heart disease is the number one killer in America today, which is quite astonishing due to the fact that it can be prevented and reversed through proper diet and lifestyle choices. (1) But did you know that you could stop a heart attack within one minute by using a simple ingredient – the cayenne pepper?

Capsicum, the miracle remedy that can stop heart attacks

CayennePepperIn a study published in the journal Circulation, a researcher from the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Keith Jones, discovered that capsaicin, when applied to the skin of mice, caused sensory nerves in the skin to trigger signals to the nervous system, thus creating a “pro-survival” pathway to the heart. (2)

What’s even more surprising is that capsaicin caused an 85% reduction in death of heart cells, which led to Dr. Jones believing that it is a form of “remote cardioprotection,” and predicting that it can save many lives with the proper dosage and applications. (2)

7 Methods For Detoxing And Cleansing Your Body Of Toxins

Natural Society | December 26 2012

Cayenne PepperWith the myriad of toxins we’re exposed to in modern society, we’re faced with an increasing burden of unnatural substances that invade our bodies, from pesticides, herbicides and fungicides to air and water pollution, mercury, arsenic and other heavy metals in our food, and the list goes on. Our current unhealthy living conditions call for a few radical corrective measures, if our goal is to maintain any level of healthy lifestyle. One of those corrective measures is to partake in a holistic detox.

The following is a list of various recommendations to effectively lessen your internal toxin levels, which can be done in any combination for increased effectiveness. For optimum results, these should be applied on a regular or seasonal basis, and at minimum once a year.

1. Include Plenty of Deep Colored Vegetables, Herbs and Algae in Your Dietary Arsenal

Cilantro, parsley, alfalfa, and a blue-green algae, chlorella, are three extremely powerful chemical and heavy metal chelators. Dark green vegetables and herbs alkalize and purify the blood, making it easier for the body to rid itself of wastes with less discomfort or “healing crisis” (when the loosening of toxic debris causes a sick or flu- like reaction). You can juice these, include them in salads, and/or mix powdered forms into water or juice for a quick and effective dose.

2. Try Fasting with Lemon Water, Cayenne Pepper and Maple Syrup

This is a radical, but very effective method of giving your digestive system a much needed break from the constant intake of less than optimal foods and flushing out harmful substances. A period of 3 to 7 days, 3 to 4 times a year is a sufficient and proactive strategy. (Use as much lemon as possible, with just enough maple syrup to make it palatable.) Drink as much as desired throughout the day.

Of course lemon water anytime has great benefits.

3. Fast with Juice! A Grade-A Health-Boosting Method for Health
