Okie Dokie, there are heaps of differing opinions on what chilli's/Peppers do Health wise and people can Argue till they are blue in the face bout things, yet theres sort of no proof anywhere as nothing really ever gets done but lots get talked about..

well here are some Facts AND didn't reallly know the extent of what can happen and im trying to find out cause freaky shit is happening...

if ya read the seedco story, was only into birdseyes till bout 2 yrs ago.. just grew weird plants and was scared as they were heaps hot and scary. i had to retire from 21 yrs of Karate due to being diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis due to the wear and tear of it.. "Mr Smith, you are too young to have your knee's replaced, and as Its Osteo from the wear and tear, there is really nothing we can do about it so here is an endless supply of Panadol Osteo" @#%@ stopped Surfing, at one stage (ask Andrew) was going to cut my right pinky finger off as it Hurt so much CONSTANTLY. as run a lawnmowing business, would mow 5 lawns, then back home for 2 Osteo's and heat packs,, got to sell soon..

Every Yr, without fail, as have Asthma and on Daily Ventolin and Qvar (a steroid) to try prevent Phnumonia or Pluracy,,Cause Every Yr id get the flu, it would turn to bhronchitis, then if couldn't get to Dr in a week would go to Phnumonia.. THIS WAS EVERY YEAR.

Ok started doing chilli tests and if ya watch, Birdseyes at the beginning were hot.. But then went UP and when hit tepins, Birdeyes wern't hot,,, so it was Tepins every night. Then The pain sort of wasn't getting worse and sort of stopped... and in comments was starting to say "well now im having tepins, and its stopped getting worse" and didn't think anything about..

A YR LATER,,,, its Naga's basically Daily as nothin's really that hot now... BUTTT it was the wife whom 1st noticed "Hey how come you don't use the Ventolin or Qvar now?" Dunno,, then it was "hang on a Min, you didn't get the flu or sick this year did you, we all did" um yes,,, shit i Haven't YAY

Guess what im doing tomorrow or Sunday

Know Why ?


MY ARTHRITIS HAS GONE, dunno where GONE,, ive been trying to figure out lately why i feel so fantastic, IM NOT IN PAIN nothing hurts and lucky i didn't chop my little finger off last year..

this is from an email recieved from a research scientist whom i asked today "why is this happening?"

Neil,
Arthritis is certainly not fun. Then again the amount of capsaicin you have been ingesting might be making those pain receptors that cannot wait to tell you a joint hurts too worn out to bother. After all pain relief is one of the areas that capsaicin is being used for. Or maybe you can now pump out so many endorphins due to pain from chillies that it can also ease the sensation of pain from arthritis.

But what the hell whatever the reason enjoy the break from it. Yes capsaicin is a nerve toxin in large amounts so do not take it to the max.

Brian


ooops ok,, ill try not too..

atm Doing 8 Lawns a day SOLO, no Osteo Panadols , heat Pads in sight.... What Artritis ? Can it go away ? Why?


Thats a couple of things just had to say SO SOME1 MIGHT LISTEN and do MORE research on these Amazing Plants...


plus think got some weird Endorphin prob as constantly bouncing off the walls without stimulants and have to see about that next week, cool though..

sorry for the ramble

Curanderos in Mexico prescribe chile for all kinds of ailments. Folk medicine in general in Mex and S A use chile for all kinds of illness.

I know chile cures indigestion for me.
 
That's great news, Neil! I'm happy to hear that.

I hate to spoil the fun, but I'm wondering... If what the scientist said is true (I'm not an expert)

wouldn't that mean that your problems are still there, but you just don't notice it anymore, because you are keeping the pain receptors busy by eating so much cap?
 
I believe pain is more or less a perception thing. You hear all the time about phantom pains and such where people feel the hurt, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. I may be wrong, but i think the doc was saying that the receptors that say "hey we hurt" are being relaxed so as to not cripple Neil from the pain of the arthritis and allowing him to live a normal life.


Good call on the surfing. Long board, yeah? Maybe just take it easy and see how it goes. No sense tempting fate. I always wished i could surf. I used to ride a skateboard like a surfboard before it was hip and long skateboards came around.

mental note: eat more chiles!!

Haha, that's funny - I felt exactly the same when I read Neil's post!

I hope my post didn't sound too negative. You know I hope all will be well and you'll enjoy surfing and whatever you feel like doing now.
 
You would expect that something as hot as peppers would make my esophageal reflux worse especially if I eat late. BUT: Since I eat a lot of peppers my reflux is mostly gone. And it's not the first time today that I had hab poppers at 11:00 pm...
 
im not stopping to find out if it comes back :P and if have to eat naga's / habs everyday forever GOOD.

Its a Handmade Evolution 8'2 with an FSC G3 fin system, had it made by Ken McDonald,, Lonnnnng boards suppose to be 9' single fin, Normal boards 7' under, for Bigger surf and Tri fin.. hahaha i like to be different so crossed the 2 and got my baby :)

2 min away from my place is "Box Head" the Longest Lefthand break in the Southern Hemisphere, have to get taken out in a Boat now as Banned from the Ferry (use to get on, then as went past box head, Jump off with Board)as its a Long Paddle When its Pumping,, The waves are like 6 - 8 feet and ya can ride it for like 1 Km..

The Rush from Surfing (if ya never tried it , is AWESOME) Gliding on top of 20 Tonne of Moving Nature is Unreal no Better, which is why im so stoked that can hopefully do again and if can, will be at beach every morn at 6.30am and then prob in arvo after work..

and now with Internet can have a sus at each beach and see what the surfs like LIVE so can choose,, here is Avoca beach, 20 min away.. just off the rocks is an awesome lil right break, the Cam pans so can see it.

wish had a $ for everytime been told will get ulcers, when in actual fact studies have shown it helps..

Ya growing Naga's what if ya cranked up the SHU to them from Habs, think it might go away ?

and great to hear they helping another, Some1 else is gonna try a Chilli Diet, when pods grown.. start off slow, build up and see if what think will happen Happens
 
That's awesome man I'm glad to hear it. I guess if I think about it, it does kinda seem like since I started eating a lot of hot peppers I get sick less often. I'd like to see more info about those studies they are doing with capsaicin about pain relief. Sounds interesting.

Yeah Man, I notice exactly the same thing! The wife has been battling an ear inection for the past couple of weeks - it just won't go away, and with two teenagers in the house always coughing, sneezing and whatnot, I very seldom succumb to their illnesses. Back when I was less evolved pepperwise, I had a tendency to get bronchial infections every winter. That hasn't happened for years. Neil - I think you are really onto something! And I'm really happy for you!
