Too bad that the medical profession hasn't made any headway in the control of cardiovascular disease for the last 30 years or so. I worked in the operation room back in the late 70's. Seems to me its getting worse and younger and younger people are affected and the only one making out in all of this are the cardiologists. Modern treatments seems to consist of an aspirin a day, cholesterol drugs and stents placed as an everday occurance. Sorry, but this will not help or prevent anything and their diet recomendations are ridiculous. I wouldn't take the advice of "modern medical doctor" to stop or prevent anything. Time to try something new including alternative medicine and herbals including cayenne. Karen in SC >>>QUACK<QUACK!!!!! My wife has a Bachelors in nursing, plus over 15 years of cardiology experience (CICU=Cardiac Int. Care), I worked for two years in a cardiac int. care unit myself, and neither one of us has EVER heard of "feeding the heart cayenne"!!! I thind this "medical" advice should N-O-T be taken; this guy is a quack.
