Cayenne Chili Pepper avalible in Thailand?

[Mangosteen1]

I got a tip from a friend. "Cayenne Pepper" is one of a few peppers that repairs the body from inside. Other chili peppers can be very strong and have the opposite effect(To much for the intestines to handle)

I searched for Cayenne pepper on the web and found many benefits such as: Anti-Irritant Properties, Anti-Cold and Flu Agent, Anti-Fungal Properties, Migraine Headache Prevention, Digestive Aid. Detox support and a lot more. My Friend made it very clear that it have to be Cayenne pepper and no other pepper. Is there Cayenne pepper at the Thai Local Vegetable Markets?

For what its worth, I found a small thing of McCormick Cayenne Pepper at the new Rimping in Maya in CM the other day. This is after it had been on my grocery list for months and not finding it at the other Rimpings I looked for it.

Prik Chee Fah (พริกชี้ฟ้า)....are you saying this is Cayenne Pepper? I assume so.....But not sure if it is

" Prik chee fa (พริกชี้ฟ้า) which is a largish Cayanne looking pepper that is not as hot as the little Prik kee noo (พริกขี้หนูเม็ดเล็ก)" Note Cayanne """looking"""

pepper...but is it the Same????

thanks

All chillies have the properties you describe.

It does not have to be Cayenne's they all contain Capsaicin.

If your in Pattaya pop into Central Festival basement food shopping centre. Aside from an awesome range of products you can pick up a bottle of Cayenne Pepper (organic) for around 40 baht. See photo. Cayenne Pepper with some MSM every morning will keep your blood pressure down all day and helps in numerous ways for the repair and health of your circulatory system. In fact Cayenne pepper drops can literally restart a heart attack victims heart and stabilise it until help arrives. I carry this in my emergency kit. Food for thought.

What on earth is MSM?

Thanks for the tip. I'll do some research on that.

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM, or dimethylsulfone) is an organic sulfur compound

belonging to a class of chemicals known as sulfones. It is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2SO2. It occurs naturally in some primitive plants and is present in small amounts in many foods and beverages.

MSM is also known as dimethylsulfone, or DMSO2, a name that reflects its close chemical relationship to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which differs only in the oxidation state of the sulfur atom. MSM is the primary metabolite of DMSO in humans, and it shares some of the properties of DMSO.

MSM is sold as a dietary supplement that is marketed with a variety of claims and is commonly used (often in combination with glucosamine and/or chondroitin) for helping to treat or prevent osteoarthritis. Retail sales of MSM as a single ingredient in dietary supplements amounted to $115 million in 2003. However, clinical research on the medical use of the chemical in people is limited to a few pilot studies that have suggested beneficial effects.

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, used in the supplement and health food industry.

Dr. Stanley W. Jacob administered MSM to over 18,000 patients with a variety of ailments; he co-authored a book promoting MSM with a variety of claims, including its supposed utility as a natural source of "biologically active sulfur," suggesting that people are deficient in such forms of sulfur in their dietary intake. Dietary sulphur is readily available in onions, garlic and cruciferous vegetables and in protein-containing foods, including nuts, seeds, milk and eggs.

Evidence from clinical trials

Osteoarthritis

After several reports that MSM helped arthritis in animal models, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggested that 1500 mg per day MSM (alone or in combination with glucosamine sulfate) was helpful in relieving symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. Kim et al. then conducted a double-blind clinical trial of MSM for treatment of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Twenty-five patients took 6 g/day MSM and 25 patients took a placebo for 12 weeks. Ten patients did not complete the study, and intent-to-treat analysis was performed. Patients who took MSM had significantly reduced pain and improved physical functioning, without major adverse events. No evidence of a more general anti-inflammatory effect was found, as there were no significant changes in two measures of systemic inflammation: C-reactive protein level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis

Barrager evaluated the efficacy of MSM for hayfever. Twenty-five subjects consumed 2,600 mg of MSM per day for 30 days, and a significant improvement in symptoms was observed compared to those taking a placebo. However, the study was not blinded. Also, no significant changes were observed in two indicators of inflammation (C-reactive protein and immunoglobulin E levels). The authors suggest that MSM is safe for short-term use and recommend that a larger, double-blind study be performed to establish its usefulness in treating symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Interstitial cystitis

In 1978, the FDA approved dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for instillation into the bladder as a treatment for interstitial cystitis. Since DMSO is metabolized to MSM by the body, it is possible that MSM is the active ingredient in DMSO treatments.

Snoring

Blum & Blum conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of an MSM-containing throat spray for snoring.

Manufacture of MSM

MSM is manufactured by oxidation of DMSO with hydrogen peroxide (DMSO + Hydrogen Peroxide yields MSM + water). The MSM must then be purified. There are two methods of purification currently used in commercial production of MSM as a dietary supplement: crystallization and distillation.

Crystallization yields products with varying degrees of purity, but it is a more cost-effective method and is thus preferred by most manufacturers.

Distillation produces similar purity MSM, but is a more expensive process.

Distillation uses boiling point differentials to purify the MSM mixture. First, water is vaporized; then MSM is separated from low boilers (i.e., components with low boiling temperatures). Further distillation yields the pure MSM product. Components with high boiling temperatures (e.g., heavy metals, salts) remain in the bottom of the distillation vessel and are removed as waste. Distillation yields a product of reasonable purity. The product is quite dry (typically < 0.05% moisture) when distilled properly, so few moisture-related problems occur, such as product degradation and microbial contamination. Also, the less water present in a product, the less water quality is a concern. Thus, like crystallization, distillation can also remove heavy metals from raw materials and is not dependent on water quality.

To obtain purity may require contacting the seller and requesting data from the Certificate of Analysis on the raw material. If measured, levels of lead and other heavy metals should be as low as analytical laboratory detection methods permit.

You can buy from here ... also I swear by DMSO. Have been using for years to stop back pain and a range of ailments including knocking cold sores off in a matter of hours. http://www.msm-wholesale.com/mobile/reading.htm

bothman My dad, a veternarian, was useing DMSO for decades. I tryed the site 'you can get it here' & got good info bet no way to cantack. I'm living in Chiang Mai & need some USP. Can you advise? I can be also reached at [email protected]. Thanks
