I learned about cayenne pepper being able to give the heart a "big kick" from a naturopath,
who recommended keeping pepper handy or in the first aid kit to pop a teaspoon under the patient's tongue
in the unfortunate event of a heart attack.
First, ring for the ambulance, or do this while you are ringing for the ambulance.
Cayenne pepper will stop a heart attack in under two minutes!
Sometimes called "the king of herbs," cayenne pepper has the ability to stop a heart attack in its tracks in under two minutes. Famed herbalist, Dr. John Christopher frequently used cayenne pepper to treat patients for heart attacks and reported that it never once failed to stop a heart attack in only a couple of minutes or under.
The best form of cayenne pepper to use to stop a heart attack is cayenne pepper tincture (extract), and it only takes a couple of droppers full to do the trick. Regular cayenne pepper powder, such as is found on the grocers spice aisle, can also be used and the recommended amount is at least two teaspoons full. Either way, anyone who is concerned about the possibility of a heart attack is well advised to keep a bottle or vial of cayenne pepper extract or powder close by at all times.Cayenne pepper is renowned for its overall cardiovascular benefits and is considered by many herbalists to be the top herb for overall heart health. Among its many healthy properties is its ability as a natural blood thinner. It also strengthens, stimulates, and tones the heart, balances circulation and blood pressure, and calms palpitations.
Note: In the event of a heart attack, regardless of how soon it is stopped, one should seek immediate medical attention . Likewise, one should seek medical attention for severe and prolonged irregular heartbeats.e.g. CALL THE AMBULANCE!

Garden Storing Seeds using food-grade diatomaceous earth
I bought a little bag of fenugreek seeds for sprouting, some 6 months ago. I stored them in a glass jar and added a teaspoon of food-grade Diatomaceous Earth (definitely not the pool-filtre DE) so that any insects that might have been attracted to the seeds would not survive. Previously I had lost a big bag of wheat for sprouting because weevils got into the grain.
I learned about food-grade Diatomaceous Earth a year ago. In America it is sold for both human and animal consumption, but in Australia it is regulated, and is sold for animal consumption. If you click on the following link, you can read some testimonials of people who have used it for healing of their animals. http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/de_testimonials.html
The following article gives some info about food-grade Diatomaceous Earth.
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a naturally occurring rock made from the skeletons of fossilized diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. When ground into a fine powder, diatomaceous earth works mechanically to destroy a wide range of pests, insects, parasites and pathogens by cutting through the exoskeleton, absorbing bodily fluids and causing them to die. Food grade diatomaceous earth is chemical-free and non toxic.
Diatomaceous earth has many uses including detoxification of the body -- inside and out; protecting pets and livestock from parasites and insect infestation; and keep your yard and garden pest-free.
DE detoxes mercury, cadmium, lead and other heavy metals; removes poisons from chemtrails, radiation and may alleviate the effects of GMOs. DE possesses antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral properties.
In addition to detoxing and destroying pathogens, diatomaceous earth helps to lower blood pressure and contributes to the production of collagen to improve skin tone, strengthening the tendons and joints.
To consume DE orally, start with half a teaspoon and work up to two heaping tablespoons. Mix thoroughly in four ounces of water. Drink immediately and follow with another eight ounces of water. Take on an empty stomach. Continue drinking water throughout the day, because DE can cause constipation.
Initially, you may experience a Herxhemier reaction, which can cause abdominal discomfort and flu-like symptoms. This is a normal response to detoxing, as parasites and pathogens die, releasing their toxins into your system for elimination. The symptoms disappear after a few days.
· Pour into a lawn spreader and apply diatomaceous earth to yard to kill fleas, tics, chiggers and other biting insects that attach themselves to pets. Sprinkle on bushes with a strainer.
· Apply diatomaceous earth on garden soil and plants to protect them from vegetable-loving insects. Make a ring around the stem on the soil to prevent crawly insects from munching stems.
· Pour over fire ant hills to destroy the colony
· Apply to compost and manure piles to reduce odor and control flies
· Apply around garbage pails to keep flies away
· Avoid applying to flowers where beneficial insects like bees, ladybugs and butterflies visit
Diatomaceous earth is safe for use on pets as long as precautions are taken to protect them from inhaling the dust. Add small amounts of DE to pet's food to kill internal worms and other parasites.
· Sprinkle DE on the soil around your dog's kennel
· Add to kitty litter to reduce odor and kill fleas
· Sprinkle the chicken coop, barn, stall, and nesting boxes with DE to keep your livestock pest free
· Use a plastic squeeze bottle with a pointed tip to blow DE into hard-to-reach places like electrical outlets -- after removing the cover
· Avoid inhaling
· DE is drying to the eyes and skin; use precautions when applying
· Diatomaceous earth kills beneficial insects; use caution in the garden
