Also, have a friend that took this for asbestosis and he swears by it.
Another friend takes this to sleep and quit taking his meds, say he doesn't need them. Cayenne is also an anti-inflammatory agent and is also an expectorant, good for the lungs and the blood.

Cayenne pepper drops? Where do you buy that? Here we only have it in powder!Replied By Kelly (Cambridge, Ma) on 08/10/2011
They don't sell Tabasco sauce in France?? They must. It's been around forever and ever.Replied By Francisca (Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France) on 08/10/2011
Thanks, I thought you meant some kind of Cayenne drops from the pharmacy or something.Replied By Francisca (Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France) on 08/10/2011
Just one more question, sorry but what do you mean by Taper Off? Not an expression we use over here so I am not sure of the meaning. I looked online and it seems to mean "decrease" so do you mean that with the time one add less Tabasco drops?Replied By Blanche (Iberia Parish, La. Usa) on 08/10/2011
Not trying to be picky, but cayenne pepper is different than tabasco pepper they make the famous sauce with. (just down the road from me. ) It may or may not matter though.Replied By Francisca (Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France) on 08/11/2011
Blanche, you got me all mixed up now! What we need is the answer from the person who came up with the idea of using Cayenne pepper drops for health purposes. It is a pity this site still hasn't the possibility to contact the people concerned and get the answers we need. Also a pity that people aren't more precise about the treatments they purpose because this way one doesn't know what to do or can even do the wrong thing. Let's hope the person comes back and answers our questions!Replied By Courtney (Granite Bay, Ca) on 08/11/2011
Blanche - The original poster cited Tabasco sauce as what they used for their results.Replied By Bess (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on 08/11/2011
Hi Francisca - I was wondering about that too. I used to be able to get cayenne tincture at the health food store but since moving to Calgary, I haven't found any. I know Dr. Schulze is a famous brand (there are Web sites that tell you how to make it using his methods which is a bit different from other, more simple, methods such as http://www.unhinderedliving.com/homemademed.html). I would prefer to buy it already made - just my preference. Good luck in finding what works for you. Cheers, BessReplied By Helpyourself (Houston, Texas, Usa) on 08/11/2011
I will try to clear up the confusion about Tabasco or cayenne pepper drops. Tabasco only has three ingredients: distilled vinegar, red pepper and salt. Other brands have many things added, don't like preservatives etc. Tabasco website lists cayenne pepper as the red pepper. I have tried others and the effect is not the same.
Again, the recipe is 20 drops of Tabasco in 4 oz. of water, a couple times a week, taper off and use as needed. Benefits are numerous.

About Tabasco recipe...
By taper off I mean follow the recipe for a few weeks, cut back to once per week and then stop and take as needed. Everything in moderation. That's how I do it. Don't want to burn my intestines or anything else and when I need it my body reacts to it in a positive way.Replied By Bess (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on 08/11/2011
Thank you Helpyourself from Houston for clearing up the confusion regarding tabasco sauce and the cayenne pepper drops. I'll have to pick up that tiny bottle of tabasco next time I go shopping and try your recipe. I'm so glad it has only three ingredients and no preservatives. Cheers! Bess
