It has been a while since I posted on the forum. I fell off the bandwagon for a period of time, well not fell off exactly, more like I sort of dangled off the side...

When I first started the BTD I followed it to the letter. Then for a while I loosened up about it (avocados, bacon and the very occasional corn chip) but I want to stop cheating with those.

I just recently did a wonderful herbal detox and my body is happier than ever, it is time to keep up the increased health with the BTD!

Ok, in other news... I have recently fallen in love with taking Cayenne as a health care supplement! I am taking the capsules, because I am too wimpy to take a 1/4 tsp with water even though that is recommended, but I am still having great results.

I researched Cayenne's health benefits on the Internet and it seems to be a powerhouse. Anyone else take it?

check the protocol index for more targeted sups as well....
there are other sups as well which have positive anti inflammatory effects in a B physiology.

Thanks Lola! I will check those out.

I am using SparkPeople.com to track my calories for weight loss... and I recently used their forum to ask if other people had a detoxification routine and 90% of the responses were to the theme that I was nuts.

It made me miss how supportive the forum's here are, so like the smart person that I am... I came back.

Don't you just love it. NOT.  All the better for you for doing the detox.   Welcome back OneHorseFarms.  Great to hear you are sitting up straight in that wagon again.

I've never heard of taking Cayenne as a supplement. But, when I eat something that feels like it poisoned my system I always crave hot pepers including red pepper flakes and Cayenne pepper after. It seems to really help me.

I use between 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoonful a day.  (I use to 40,000 Heat Units  I bought from a HFS.  I was on oxygen 24/7 was able to get completely off of it, mostly because of cayenne pepper, It broke up the green mucus that was laying in the bottom third of each lung.

If I have just the slightest thickness of saliva I make sure I add cayenne pepper, still today, even though it has been two years since I've been completely off of oxygen during the day and 1 year off of it at night, maybe even longer,

I hardly ever cough now, I use to have a habit of coughing.  No More!

I season with it regularly.

My B husband is addicted to Tabasco.  In such amounts that I think it could be considered a supplement.

I also cook with it, but don't take it as a supplement. I probably eat an average of 1/4 teaspoon a day, mostly in my morning eggs. I figure I'm eating it in large enough quantities that I don't need to worry about taking it as a supplement.
