cayenne is great for the heart and lowering bp.
try working your way into ingesting 1 tsp 3x per day. might be sensitive to it in the beginning, so start slow.
i take mine in with a drink that i mix each morning:
2 tbs black strap molasses [organic - w/o sulfur added]
2 tbs apple cider viengar [organic - braggs is good]
1 tsp cayenne.
most definetly lowered my bp as i had it checked by my dentist on each visit. normally it had been 120/85 and dropped to 100/80.

cayenne will also move the bowels along with bsm.

The crying is emotional detox, probably. While you are detoxing, you may experience emotions, as well as physical symptoms, that you have experienced in the past. You are not regressing; you are detoxing. You have the option of pulling back for a few days to make the symptoms more bearable, or just going ahead and pushing through. I am grateful now when I find myself crying because I know I am getting rid of stuff I didn't even realize was bottled up, and it doesn't hurt because I don't feel hopeless with it. Convoluted soundings, sorry, but read the following:

When I went through ten Rolfing sessions, every week I had strange personalities coming up. Nothing that was overtly mental, but I noticed it. I asked my boyfriend if I seemed a little strange and he said no, but being a sensitive person, I noticed it big time.

Rolfing releases emotions held in the muscle tissue. These shadows of personalities were things I thought I had already overcome, and still believe I had. However, issues come up to us over and over, until we really show we overcome them. Life is sometimes like peeling an onion, they say. My experience has been that once we learn one lesson, we may have it come up again, in a much lesser degree, for additional release. When we recognize that it not the same problem coming back, but we are just peeling another layer of the onion (detoxing that thing or emotion).

Sometimes we see posts of people having acne, or itching, or pains, or the flu, or as in my recent case, red eyes with drainage, and we have to make a judgment call. Is that an illness, or the remains of an illness leaving/detoxing because we have gone a little deeper, peeled another layer off the onion? Some of it is how we look at it. We have a choice. We can call it the flu or we can call it detox, and what we call it is probably going to inform our actions.

Do you recall a time when you were more outspoken, told it like it was, and regretted and changed and became a calmer person. You are detoxing that. Let it go.

Additionally, when we are detoxing, things are not perfectly balanced in our physical bodies. Have to just love yourself through it, make apologies where necessary, and go on being the best you can be.

I recall a post where someone told Trapper that he had mellowed, and he replied that before he had all that mercury. It's like a baby when he or she is sick; you can't blame them for being cranky. When we are cranky as adults, we have learned some manners and can control ourselves, but we also can say, "That's not like me. That's a clue; my body is talking to me."

So pull back or push through. All is well."

"By the way, the crying you report is something that started happening to me after I went on iodine. It was not associated with hopeless thoughts or suicidal ideation. It was as if my years of apathy were detoxing. I grew up in a dysfunctional home, with lots of bad emotional reactions around, and for years I cried at Hallmark commercials, knowing that my body was like McGee's closet where I had stuffed all those feelings and when I opened it just a little, things came tumbling out. Then I found emotions and they came out in often inappropriate ways, and there were years of just not being able to cope. So when I finally went on the antidepressants, I guarded my environment so closely that I was numb. I avoided much of life. The antidepressants helped me over this period. When I would not have the correct dose, I would get a little crazy. When I went on iodine, I started the crying described above. When I had a delay in getting a prescription filled, I had no panic. So I said to myself, "Let's see what would happen if I don't take those for a few days."
That has been nearly three weeks now, and I notice the Hallmark reaction has lessened somewhat, but I do look on it as an emotional detox."

"I am watching my own journey detoxing from apathy and how Iodine has helped that. I have a long way to go, I know. I feel bad sometimes when I hear Dr. Phil, "I want you to enjoy your life!" because I know how much my Depression and apathy have held me back in the last 15 years. Before that I had loads of accomplishments, but never any real peace. I was driven, but avoided real issues. Certainly Iodine has helped me, and Curezone, especially this forum, have been a lifeline for me."

"I always blamed everything on depression. The liverflushes got me off the anti-depressants, but I still did not come really alive.
The Iodine has gotten me to a different level, I have changed, more sociable and be able to go to a neighborhood cook-out, usually I stayed home that was easier.
I feel sure that there is still more clearing to do in my head, after 5 months I will keep up the iodine."
