Ah, that's where it all begins, an innocent chilli. Then you find yourself adding some 'Frank's Hot Sauce', next comes the 'Mega Death Sauce', then the 'Mad Dog Silver Sauce' and, before you know it, you are eating raw habaƱero pepper, or worse.. It is a slippery slope Cece..Cece wrote:thanks, that was a helpful post!!

It does, I'm everso glad for you. You deserve all the luck in the world after your devotion on the forum here..Cece wrote:I far rather would eat raw habanero peppers dipped Frank's Hot Sauce than have a clot even consider taking up residence in either of my jugulars.
And I am still very glad yours was evicted, with a little help from the hot sauce and the prescription blood thinners and a healthy dose of good luck. We could all use good luck around here, we've had enough of the bad.
I am still a little euphoric from my procedure, does it show?

it is good to hear that your thrombosis has cleared. I am also considering getting the treatment in Egypt; however, there are some issues that I still wanna address beforehand. I do not know how the valves are treated in Egypt? In case of a narrow annulus, would they destroy the annulus while they are treating it? A vascular surgeon told me that in his opinion this can cause the remodeling of the vein. In case of a leaflets fusion, would they just open up the leaflets or would they destroy them? I know that they are saying that 15% of the people have no valves, but is there no consequnce of getting rid of the valves?
Not to scare anyone away, but I believe that it should be noted that comparing Mad Dog 357 to regular "hot sauce," e.g., Tobasco, is like comparing an oxy-acetylene torch to a match. There is a good reason the label on Mad Dog 357 comes with a hold harmless statement.Cece wrote:I take curcumin supplements, although I'm on a supplement-holiday while taking the Arixtra since the procedure. Would curcumin and cayenne pepper work in the same way? I might pick up some hot sauce, L, that's a natural way to get it during this post-procedure time.

You're right NHE, it was quite irresponsible of me to mention it - it's incredibly hot.. I'm addicted to it now (all the endorphins that are released by the body in response to the attack) and so I forgot what the experience of tasting a drop must be like for others. Nevertheless, from what I've read, I think that there's a really good chance that drowning myself in capsaicin cleared my thrombosis.NHE wrote:Not to scare anyone away, but I believe that it should be noted that comparing Mad Dog 357 to regular "hot sauce," e.g., Tobasco, is like comparing an oxy-acetylene torch to a match.

I know nothing about the safety. I have no idea if they have any effect on clotting. If statins help EAE/'MS' maybe it has something to do with blood flow.``The efficacy and safety of the drugs is outstanding,'' said Fodor, a spokesman for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and head of research in preventive cardiology at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.
In the United Kingdom, statins are available over the counter, without a doctor's prescription.
Fodor said the drugs ``are much safer than Aspirin.
``Somebody who has no detectable risk and is apparently healthy should not take (statins). But how many middle-aged people in Canada do not have some atherosclerosis? We cannot detect them easily at the moment.''
Don't worry about it. I just wanted people to know that this stuff isn't your typical hot sauce found in a grocery store. I actually have a bottle of it myself as I went through a chili head phase a while back*. I even considered buying some hotter stuff, perhaps a 1,000,000 scoville rated extract, but find that the Mad Dog at 357,000 scovilles is about as hot a sauce as I really need.L wrote:You're right NHE, it was quite irresponsible of me to mention it - it's incredibly hot..

This Mad Dog silver edition is about 700,00o Scovilles they say, although it's probably a lie, and I think that it's about all I can take without using a pipette..NHE wrote:Don't worry about it.

* I used to eat habanero lollipops (actual lollipops with chunks of dried habanero+seeds inside) and also chew on dried habanero seeds. I even started to develop a small numb spot on my tounge. However, one day I made the mistake of touching my face after handling some habanero seeds and felt a little burning sensation on my cheek. This would have been no big deal, but I got a little concerned about it and decided to wash my face. Big mistake. The soap and water carried the trace amounts of capsaicin into both of my eyes and I couldn't open them for about 15 minutes afterwards due to the pain. The Blair's Death sauces are good stuff though and so are Dave's Insanity sauces (at around 50,000 scovilles a few of drops in a small bowl of salsa are just enough to heat it up a bit). By the way, have you ever checked out http://www.mohotta.com ?

Phil sounds great!1eye wrote:My friend Phil used to be a weird bird. One day we dropped him off on the street in Chicago because he wanted to hitchhike to the Astrodome to see a guru. He was wearing nothing but a robe, and carrying nothing but a guitar and a flute. One of the last times I saw him in those days he made himself a little ill because he sat down with some pita bread and ate a full jar of whole jalapeno peppers. Ooogh.
