That sounds llike a preparation called "Eye Bright". Christopher was a naturopath and herbalist (also an MD) who used cayenne to cure/treat a number of ailments - often with amazing results. Both Christopher and his disciple Dr. Richard Schulze (same training as Christopher except he's not an MD) are big time advocates of the powers of cayenne and capsicum. www.curezone.org/schulze is one of the url's for Schulze www.800herbdoc.com/dssnh/index3.html is another for Schulze www.healthfree.com/christopher/cayenne.htm for the cayenne specific stuff of Dr. Christopher.
