Ron: The old timers (prior to capsules) took cayenne pepper in a
teaspoon and flushed it down with water! Try it. Start with a 1/4
teaspoon and work up to whatever you want to take. It works much
faster and safer. If you take capsules, one day you will have one or
more open up on you and cause you some severe discomfort in your
stomach. I have had it happen twice and I won't be taking capsules of
cayenne anymore. You get used to the cayenne streight and it will help
heal any problems in your mouth or esophogus on the way down. Then you
can simply buy cayenne by the bulk and avoid capsules altogether. Buck
up and don't wus out now ya hear!
