fayyad class thirteen of them were dead by the end of the summer and stanley i say my five glass of the hospital i felt great was in the hospital i was discharged in record time the problem was on the way home i had as terrible loss of energy by the time i got home a decision about three five miles i was so yeah so i had to just barely died or the house and collapse for a nap what happened was i later found was that the coronary artery that had been bypassed the mayor left maine had collapsed now this happens because or three lawyers are in the settlers a muscle when he cut a muscle it often loses strength and that's what happened to me i had no that didn't find this out alive for years later but anyway as that's the summer of nineteen seventy eight that was my summer of dying i had this condition called sudden loss of energy word collapse about war inc typically a place like the targets toward these danny lyon also ban hit the floor did lose consciousness but lost energy any cases happen to me repeatedly me
well mike terry ao this one i don't see a witch was mildly you would say oh you're coming along fine you'll be as good as new you know and i really believe that cause i want to so badly i was an honored cause or a lot of courage to put me out with something it happened really divides within a day or two the time i got back from the hospital and i got from gospel something it happened early early in june a bottle maybe the sixth of june they're really was to change my life and i didn't know i saw significant was i'd gone to the lake to get some sun not to go swimming evans i would have drowned but to get some sun my incisions i look like there isn't enough or frankenstein movie and why was it the lake collapsed in their shade having walked about fifty feet down on the show which was really more than i could handle there's a person i didn't really know or she was a mother of a good friend of mine but i'd never exchanged words whether i knew i recognize or biden or and she i heard this little boy should have or did you know taro was an oh a woman that you know what it is so the deli of garlic and then she proceeded tell me about a guy named dr
john christopher and she said you should take up sitcom khayyam red pepper and she joined our customer had been to delivering all a seminar she attended in some an air attack on a lobbying he'd stop the heart attack by giving his person kind of course i thought number one what nonsense i don't believe or who is she to know something that my cardiologist with no i mean he's got walls for the reasons that i had three cardiologist and you know i mean it just seems preposterous of the whole thing of not to mention the fact that the mere suggestion that i might have gone to the grocery store as a minister in his procedure you know i mean i got star about buyer's remorse anyway i spent the whole summer i was very disdainful of erwin home i spent the whole summer dying doing a pretty good impression of a dying and finally enact or i was upstairs that mean though is the star and june's knock tor is observed that in your bedroom and i went blind and you know it did hurt he was absolutely sudden totally unexpected there was no pain i mean i was totally blind there i am standing in the bedroom and suddenly i can't see anything i felt my way down stairs on the
couch satire took about an hour for the blinds ms bell i guess it turned out to be the past but while now so that i was convinced that i was permanently blind terrifying and the most depressing thing that's ever happened to me after this i went into a cardiologist that and my quinces live every year prime a couple of days later and i went and closer to all about the blind spot he walked out of the room during my explanation and you know i was flabbergasted was so important me and he was enlisted a harmless and then he came back with charges and talking about another bypass i said dr what about this my blinds though about going blind on the family vegetable nominee the blind family the story we had about this and he had very very angry and said what i expect we trigger out we cut it we saw that we handle it when actor i'm always that the nanny stuttered again we started back and you just you can't expect it to run right willis was forthcoming plane from a whole different sheet of music than enter all summer
i was absolutely flabbergasted i'm appalled to think that you know i put my dress entirely in this person and now ej it i was left for dead on the failure and he's gonna write me off i left his office said day before i left for i reached the street i remember thinking at that crazy lady of the lake with a dumb idea about to try and recover i hadn't thought about earned five months but boy she was the only person ever suggesting course you wouldn't work but i had their hopes are one trigger for star invested sixty nine cents and obama can i try and went home and yet five kids as i had you know there are some unfinished prescriptions around twenty three capsule so sky intercom that was act or two yes nineteen seventy eight the next day or two or twenty first the energy express pull into the station what happened was a client of my corner is suddenly for the first time since the surgery my heart and all bloodied needed and i was so energetic i wanna going outside showing stalled doing all sorts of others say they only after that that i realized that okay it's the cayenne and
i i haven't a year it isn't so nice a day was fifteen years did you do any research as to the properties for the capacities of coming into the armenians a very good question i did after that i you know i'd been a writer all my life ii in mostly writing a crucial things and business stories in jail when this happened in the first place a trigger couple weeks for me to realize that target every day but i just couldn't admit it to myself that this was the stuff that was keeping me alive in guinea alice energy but it was literally in my face a dashing couldn't deny it so i went to the library and try to find things fall very well with university muscle every phone during a one two were the horticultural librarian from a lot about how to grow the stuff a lot about cayenne and where it comes from but practically nothing about from a business standpoint that i ran across a book called captive come by dr jan christopher who was a person with all the person has all the end of so second handedly saved my life if you will i
i read that book day i you know i spent the lab i will have spent has been fifteen years and i've never stopped researching try and red pepper i found out what does that there is substance and try and called capsaicin i can say is it is a substance that makes all hot food hot button cayenne or there are five different capsaicin zimmer only present china not at jalapenos and i can get all five and what it does is it opens your corner areas but it also opened your other reasons are jittery passages so overtime game oh your other your organs things we know these these things we don't pay much attention to tell a break like your kidneys and you'll ever get more blood they're declassified it cleans the famine which is a dead blood cells that blood protein and add blood cells as six the walls or reason it causes the blood clots a cause heart attacks cleans out your blood so it's a fantastic her ted preventive our what it did for me was by opening where recent made it easier for my heart and it also helped i should make the blood so it would've meant was that my body all my organs got more blood
that was richer blood or what was ever in my heart and that's where the energy comes from and tell us when did you decide to explore verb there a piece and answers to other kinds of diseases reflection while y'all wanna were so well i realized you know i was such a silly it took me so long to try it i never thought it would work gosh it or you know i went into the grocery store bought the canon stuff i had and so i i was certainly was it was futile but i just had to do something now in the book you cited different strength of chi and cooking strength was with the least you're right gray you never know what it is but it's very very low fi is you know you're never heard of this rated heat units in the cooking stuff is usually about two to five thousand even some reason is they cut it with with paprika which is not the adulteration because every day is diane but without and he interviewed o'reilly in sydney's is no cap says and has no capsaicin has no energy but i began researching i found that the earth
the really the best cayenne number this play comes from africa are very very good cayenne medicinally is from india and so i began blending african an indian and inspire many many many different ways you know i realized that hey we know is wrong to question we you know and he's catastrophic laboratory in his chest and so i'm gonna do is experimental and i realized too that if cayenne works were dashed other herbs must so i began to spread irregular heartbeat i corrected it with an herb called the larry i have heart nh because i had a heart attack and also the surgery and surface my heart cause great damage while i'd been correcting had over the years with half hour and hutter owns an herb that in stanley is said the number one harder than europe particularly because of research done in germany were all the doctors or holistic in how users as well as drugs and surgery so it's just you know i've i it's been a very slow process i built an enormous levers you can imagine of of tracts and studies in an excerpt from american and the publications published here in
an enemy india for example was greatly overall research and i'm really no spin my wife said europe's that's the word crowing a pepper and or maybe any a clarification well you'll of its kind such an interesting stuff is not a pepper what happened is good or christopher columbus who i want to have play my next role drew road trip thought he was in india and he's looking for black pepper he found a hot substance in a place called that later named the island of cayenne the cayenne iowans a maine island is trying and the cayenne river and it thought it was a pepper be looking for black pepper taught then there was a surge in aboard promises ship and snowing <unk> his first voyage an inmate forty ninety two this search and discovered that try and was wonderful for security and also to treat the infections say you know when you're on a wooden sailing ship daughter slivers in slivers new infections and so he thought this was the at the wanderer bulldog of the of ages which i think it really has any case it was
brought to europe might have migrated across europe and you're inside do is this is great stuff but it's too bad so hot so they bright all he out of it and there we have paprika the idea is you know obviously got to italy among other places and is still present day but changed and tempered a great deal of the best day you know takes a very hot climate you don't have that europe and that's way don't have the hot curry and in europe to try and has grown in europe it's actually a still a pesto comes from from africa and india and madagascar it's it's a beverage issues in a beverage is drunk the han sees a tribute to long life in part to try and also apricots of those things that they received a torrent of christ is this an incredibly interesting her how would someone who's interested in using an herbal therapy approach to whatever's wrong with them how would they go about knowing what strength they should take what dosages or you simply lucky when you
applied cry into your problem i was lucky yes that said no one told me the lady of the lake every endeavor a chance to tell me anything about it and of course i was so utterly disdainful i didn't normally sell at the all stars but they do the standard strengthen how stars as forty thousand unit chinese now you can get kind of always like average about one hundred and seventy five thousand units jalapenos are about thirty thousand units twenty to thirty thousand so they carry a good comparison the stuff that you're buying capsule house certainly forty thousand units probably beach can also get ninety thousand indians somehow storage can also get hundred thousand indian and african and some pollsters kennedy plans for a shop this way to do it is to take it in the morning because as one in america and tae dye empty stomach people make a mistake of eating first that is a mistake because you get monumental heartburn but put the capsule and put food on top of a war it was at an apple every morning that takes care of for me you know you've got to be careful i do it because it
came to be an upset stomach interviewed bernie you can get heartburn that can happen but you know heart disease gee whiz is such an insidious enemy that wants to kill you and you need aid only will of the web is a friendly neither mean his dog in the junkyard in their sky and it really is a fantastic protective are right we were so sold on this that you actually went into the manufacture of a line or will probably had a dude get in and out of that what happens is i spent ten years telling people what kind but nobody seem to pay attention and also a what a dumb idea just as i and doubt most my friends i had not heard that i am i was forty two euros about ten or twelve years earlier than most people as i had very little success and was very frustrating i felt that the thing is most frustrating about as i felt i really order to this person told me about this lovely laid awake and stanley i dedicated the border but i you know i had nothing seemed to work so fire that it a manufactured will look like a
drug and then everybody and i was a writer i was fifty years old writer i thought ok i'll become a manufacturer so i went to a librarian locked up in there the hudson's book of manufacturers to find out and encapsulating gene bought the herbs and i put together the foreigners because an unsteady or so years i knew a lot about herbs on how to formulate and i put together a series of price and i introduced in nineteen eighty nine called polar caps to be kept thinking caps in the uk house i thought you know the good names was sullen and the tomato market they saw very well the problem was that the food and our industries and came in and said objected to my advertising saying that i really didn't make any claims but i'd said that it had a heart attack and see that constitutes an implied claim so i die at it was called on several times that was quite a threatening situation i try to find out how i could manufacturers stuff and tell still tell people would get in that you know i asked about what i say historically was for naught and i say once you turn indianola fraternal in the survey so finally in the last call i was being threatened with
a prosecution for a criminal and charge of the medical fraud if you will i asked a sophomore from the fda well what how can i tell people what it doesn't set well you could write a book you realize it been a writer all my life and i know i said you know i had written the book because i didn't want bought an honorary a bad book i thought hey it's time to bite the bullet and do the book and i did and i started that they actually on the boat were forgotten published it and that has done is accomplish what nothing else would i write myself of the company and author of a commission with the company that i found it i don't manufacture colonel recommended for your neighbor and a gun to work for anybody i just sell a book it's a wonderful because this is finally i'm finally paying off that lady of the lake oh i have a great debt to and i've seen and met a lot of people that benefit by this you know it's really helped a lot of people i feel terrific so so happy you have made a short list of selected herbs and i'm pretty were using
this in the widest possible sense onion for instance has an advantage here but these particular ones you use ear have an affinity for future the most successful why that particular sky and garlic ginger lecithin onion valerian and something called go to court protocol well because they're all hard birds that are available in this country that i have experimented with you know i'm a waitress in speaking from my own experience because no i feel a guy i wanna try this make sure it's safe and taken massive amounts of the stuff somewhere like i can say that that each of these herbs is right for a specific application for example boy arian is an herb that is very good for stress it's also to rethink for preventing and in alleviating intro for violation publications regulating it regulates my heartbeat terrific if you're very very tired when you have an
irregular heartbeat is is most likely to heart strengthening urban one that one would normally noble idea take something like this poor an immediate effect or you take an alka seltzer an aspirin what you can obviously for having our tagline take i am like right away if you had an irregular heartbeat major global wearing you should notice it you know i have anyway notice that it to be regulated within about ten minutes but what it was i take it every day because i it's a preventive thing also know that's the thing about herb says that is very different from drew's totally different wizards or ford's cyril you're feeding your heart you're feeding your carols system you're feeding electrical system in europe to regulate your heartbeat and so it's something you wanted to read a key provision is the one that just adjust to well all of it you know the diet i think it's very important but that wouldn't i'd be dead if that's what i were alive and i didn't
tie you know i relied on time and you know i'm at seventy eight there were amino where many hard drugs and i'm going to work because i would've been on them but i have had high blood pressure since i was sixteen years old now the only thing that ever really alleviated that and ended in a way with no side effects was where the herbs and i take and fortunately i didn't start out on drugs when i walked out of the cardiologists office i walked away from modern medical science for the rest of my life and i have taken no hard drugs taken you know gee it i might become illegal oh to a natural pattern chiropractor i don't take years for anything users for everything and what it's meant it is that i'm i just gi young fifty years old tomorrow and smelly what a bjork when sincere it is hard mountainous my birthday too and you know in a start i was forty two at age fifty eight how mike lester always find my blood pressure is fine i feel terrific everyday and everything works i'm not going to deny not constipated i don't have
headaches i'm never depressed i it was a you know i have a wonderful life a terrific appetite and i couldn't be held here i feel better than they ended when i was sixteen and i you know it's it serves its tune for me in i found was right for me the reason that the book treat their air are about fifty years in the book but only a half a dozen him or treat extensively because these are martyrs in the ones or the vixen i personally have with which i present experimental know you did say a coalition of prescriptions using the short list are these your own lab tested or kitchen tested remedies are my own yes yes the laboratory my chest they were still though i still use and i still try things all the time because i'm still searching you know as it's a matter where you look and i look in the herbal harry it you know it's an enormous field i am primarily interested in westerns there a
tremendous you know of bodies of knowledge in eastern or wasn't chinese journalism you know just incredible how extensive this is the indians have a fantastic verbal system the indians from india also the american indians have a fantastic or will system in each of these the discipline and of itself not just adapt just a series of herbs or try this round evaporated rather up the whole philosophy so interesting how do you deal with the issue of safety well i you know i'm yours that i take this and i recommend the book are also another state which is to say what there is no talk that climate is you know drive sabotaging threshold for example you take one aspirin no problem jacob of aspirin you may die because you've exceeded the toxic threshold an herb like onion for example has long touted her shoulder we'd won a new new car loan onions are still you know this is not a point in which it becomes life threatening say members of the night your family i think well some reporters as heroes here right now and so every low touch your
church all for deadly nightshade being one of them but they're going at it is only used by taliban of course this is the dark night is always by the medical profession by the andes and the same thing is true if i was never hughes foxglove never use deadly nightshade five clovis did you tell us of course sets were details comes from an early was a set of using good to tell us if she's trying to use a semi are stimulant would use lily of the valley which is much much safer william daley is not apparent we normally the medical profession as far as bella done a you know a deadly nightshade know i was never used only a pass use them but they use them in in your genitalia past practice medicine would dilute diluted formulations that are not touch something i notice that you were wasting referred to was taste or flavor in regard to any of it is that because you would consume them by capsule unbalanced and smartest model well yes as a
matter fact what windy him in the case of of cayenne there really is not a flavor there's a presence well you hold the fees you don't really know is my daughter's delhi drinks and juice in a close friend of my endurance about water so these people are iron table what i take it in capsules garlic as a as a tasty now so as an aftertaste and that's one of the reasons that the taser is well the reasons why double blind studies cannot be done hundreds like garlic and hawthorn in and these others but the thing about garlic is when you blend it with onion and eliminates body or so that are likely take has always been with onion another of that really has a very pronounced of flavor and order which remind you of dirty socks is malaria other words the smells a better learning is because it's a it's a matter of asses became her from ending that makes it most effective how do you know what their inner should be applied publicly or interested it depends upon the affliction now not all words are applied tactically odd no matter what the circumstance for him as
well as it should never applied topic wave but try as an herb that you applied topical a couple things you can do is try and now if you have a situation as diabetics do with a very poor circulation their feet or if you just have cold feet our food aid needed blood drawn in your lower leg the way to do it the rules would do is put try enemy instead the year of your full out ideally a mixing little bit of olive oil and put on another thing is a an herbalist wanting to grow hair or would take it in a blender with the either pallets or add or and well like mineral oil judge jack histories mineral oil but all it will also work in massages the scalp and the idea is that will bring what the surface of the skin and that well and use the growth of hair is it's essentially a matter what your which are endeavoring to treat as to whether to use a topic we are in a capsule take the capsule or take it no mixed with water on food are
some people that are bred capsules no way they find that a piece of bread and it will tie and a real if you will and take it that way and it's been the guest on for ms bendick when author of left for dead his own story of how he escaped heart disease at bay without drugs the book is published by our f quinn published in ordering information can be obtained through their eight hundred number one eight hundred to eight three three nine nine eight he's expressed on this program do not necessarily reflect the views of the university of texas at austin or this station technical producer for formed cliff hargrove production assistants might be famous laski and christine johnson i'm your producer and host all of graham that's because
