Cayenne Pepper Could Help Stomach Ulcers
By Robert Palmer
If you suffer from a peptic or duodenal ulcer, the last thing you might consider taking is hot Cayenne Pepper. This goes against everything you've ever heard about what aggravates an ulcer, the facts are that most "spicy" foods do just the opposite. Capsicum (Cayenne Pepper) can reduce pain which serves as a local anesthetic to ulcerated tissue in the stomach and can even help to control bleeding in the stomach.
Some individuals may be bothered by eating "Red Pepper" or spicy foods, these foods do not cause the formation of gastric ulcers in normal people. An interesting note is that people suffering from ulcers usually avoid Cayenne Pepper, in fact those people may actually benefit from its therapeutic action.
Taking Capsicum may significantly reduce the risk of ever developing a peptic ulcer. A Chinese study published in 1995 stated, "Our data supports the hypothesis that the chile used has a protective effect against peptic ulcer disease."1
Another 1995 study found that Capsicum can even protect the stomach lining from aspirin induced ulcers.2 Aspirin can cause stomach ulceration in certain individuals or if taken with too little water or juice. Researchers have concluded after experimenting with human volunteers that the capsaicin content of capsicum has a definite - protective effect on the mucous membranes of the stomach.3 eighteen healthy volunteers with normal gastrointestinal mucosa took chile and water followed by 600 mg of aspirin and water. The study was conducted over a period of four weeks. Endoscopy results showed that taking 20 grams of
I don't think it's news to anyone out there that one should avoid Network Solutions for domain registration and probably for anything else as well
The rest of my domains have been transfered away from Network Solutions.
The process wasn't hard.
It wasn't even really tedious,
it just took a bunch of waiting.
I would log into Network Solutions,
click past a bunch of needless notifications and upsells,
and request a domain transfer.
I would then get a chance to renew the domain for the low-low price of $19.95,
which technically is cheaper,
but still twice the price that my new registar,
Porkbun,
charges.
Click past that,
and I would have to wait up to four days in order to change my mind before Network Solutions send the transfer key.
You know,
to keep me from making a rash decision to stop paying them money.
Once I got the transfer key,
I would then transfer in the domain to Porkbun.
Network Solutions would then send an email 24 hours later,
informing me that I have four days to change my mind,
but I should talk to one of their ?transfer specialists? to help transfer my domain,
because Network Solutions is adamant that I don't rush into transfering my domains away from them and thus,
stop paying them.
Four days after that,
I would receive email from both Network Solutions and Porkbun that the domain
(or domains actually)
transfered over.
So the process was mostly a waiting game on the part of Network Solutions.
Now that I'm no longer using Network Solutions for domain registration,
I want to delete my account there.
Of course,
there's no link on the Network Solutions to delete my account,
you know,
to keep me from making a rash decision.
Nope,
I have to call to talk to an ?account specialist? to do that deed.
And it turns out,
there is no way for them to delete my account.
None.
Nada.
Zip.
Let that sink in?there is no way to delete your Network Solutions account!
They're damn adamant that I keep my account,
just in case!
The best I can do is delete my credit card information.
You know,
the same credit card information that you can't update what-so-ever.
In reality,
they have to manually delete the credit card information from my ?from now until the Heat Death of the Universe? account at Network Solutions.
Good Lord.
What a clown show!

chile before the aspirin definitely demonstrated a protective action on the stomach lining.4 Capsicum has the ability to rebuild stomach tissue.
Capsicum has the ability to bring blood to regions of tissue at a faster rate boosts the assimilation of foods that are consumed with it.5 Several clinical studies support this phenomenon. It has been thought that Capsicum stimulate the release of substances which increase secretions in the stomach and intestines plus can increase an abundance of blood to the stomach and intestines.6 In fact, Capsicum can increases the flow of digestive secretions from the salivary, gastric and intestinal glands.
