Ed Currie in Men's Health Magazine.

I'm about to go to work but am perusing the new Men's Health mag. July/august 2015 edition.

Near the back is an article about chili peppers and health. The first line is end Currie talking.

Will read when I get home tonight and report back.

Just going on the focus being on men, I am dying to know if thinning the blood and irritating the digestive system might be mentioned.  That and the endorphin rush are my theories for why the things are considered aphrodisiacs. 

 

[moruga welder]

finally maybe some proof !  maybe now mama will try one ! lol  i doubt it .

 

[WITN3SS]

definitely an article worth reading.

I can vouch from personal experiments that high doses of capsaicin, does lower your blood pressure. Which was the opposite of what I was expecting.

 

[Bumper]

Lol I get the endorphins aspect, but not sure the aphrodisiac side is fully thought through.  
 
I mean rocking up all hot and sweaty for a good time with super hot bouncing around your mouth and fingers, you really aren't going to get thanked are you….

Yea I don't see them being an aphrodisiac in the least to anyone but the most extreme sadist. 

 

[hot stuff]

Well if it opens up your blood vessels, it opens them up everywhere. Know what I mean Vern?

 

[cruzzfish]

Aphrodisiac, huh? Two words: Cap cramp.

 

[D3monic]

i'd rather take the cheap gas station tabs (that do work) before getting frisky if I wanted to go all night (and possibly have a heart attack) than eat a reaper and burn our nethers. 
 
Well in that case at least.

Anyone have the article link?

 

[Lucky Dog Hot Sauce]

Is there anything about the anti-carcinogen aspect? I remember hearing some things about that, but not sure where that all went.
?

 

[D3monic]

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone that is passionate about something claims it has anti cancer or cures cancer capabilities. 
 
I don't doubt the cannabis but then you got the people that use essential oils, shrooms, peppers, i'm sure there's others too

I will post something in the morning. Either a scan or download or something so you guys can read it. Fixing to go to bed so I can run around like a chx w my head cut off in a few hrs.

I thought there was some science behind this one.

As for pot - Pot isn't an anti carcinogen - in fact smoking anything can cause lung cancer. But there are degrees of severity - cigarettes are much more likely to cause harm.

That said, it does cure nausea & stimulate the appetite which helps cancer patients to avoid wasting - which is why pot has a beneficial aspect for cancer.

I know someone who went through it - they'd never done any drugs & he'd be the 1st to tell you that marijuana saved his life. If you can't sleep or eat because you're chemo sick, you waste away & die.

Anyway, I'm not sure about the capsaicin, but I remember there was an article about Ed being involved with some lab studies regarding capcaisin fighting cancer.

 

[D3monic]

There's also use of cannabis oil to treat various forms of cancer from skin to rectal. Not just smoking it.

That's why he developed it in the first place.
