CAUTION Reduces platelet clumping, opens up blood vessels, stimulates blood circulation
and warms the body. Eating chilies increases thermogenesis, the body's
caloric burn rate. If you eat chilies with your meal, your body will
burn calories at an increased rate of about 25 percent.
Capsaicin
prevents carcinogens from binding to DNA where they trigger the second
hit phenomena which occurs with PKD. This second hit starts cells mutating
which triggers cysts to form. This second hit starts cells mutating
which triggers cysts to form.
It provides
relief of pain especially painful cluster headaches. It opens clogged
sinuses. It also stimulates gastric secretions. Defends your body against
food-borne bacteria. Vibrio vulnificus bacteria sometimes found in raw
shellfish is inhibited by capsaicin. An externally applied cream first
produced in Germany (I had the pleasure of meeting the dermatologist
who thought to try this) has been used to help with the pain of shingles.
By ingesting hot chilies or rubbing the skin with a cream, this causes
an outpouring of calcium which numbs the pain receptors in a localized
area. At first it really burns. Christopher Columbus noticed hot peppers
(chiles) almost immediately after he struck land on this side of the
Atlantic. He soon sent a cargo back to Spain, suggesting that they might
be a good substitute for black pepper, one of the precious spices that
had caused merchant explorers to take to the sea in the first place.
Capsicum cream has been used to treat painful post herpetic neuralgia of herpes zoster. I met the dermatologist in Europe who had first tried this as a treatment. He explained that it is much
like eating a hot dish, the more frequently you eat a hot spicy dish,
eventually you need more and more chili to add some fire to the meal. Eventually the nerve endings become exhausted and the cream allows some relief from the painful episodes. CAUTION There maybe something in fiery chilies that may not benefit cystic kidneys.
As a member of the nightshade family it contains high amounts of
solanine which interferes with calcium absorption. From time to time,
I indulge in a hot chili or two to spice up an avocado dishe called guacamole. I sometimes experience
kidney and liver ache following this. If you have
liver cysts, it is a vegetable high in estrogens, as are all the nightshade
family of vegetables.
