I am 51 being treated for pancreatic cancer, stage 4, met to my liver. I read studies that you can find by googling cancer/capsaicin. There are studies being done on mice whereby they put human pancreatic tumors into mice and feed them cayenne pepper (no joke, please look it up). These tests are 8-10 years from human trials due to lack of funding for research for pancreatic cancer. I calculated the amount of HU's given to the mice and for a 150 lb person it came to 300,000. I bought cayenne pepper in capsules from a health food store and began to take them until I was up to that level. I was afraid I'd get heartburn, but I did not.
I did let my doctors know that I was doing this. In the mice, the tumors die and there is no harm done to healthy tissue. I was diagnosed in August, my tumor marker was 500, I started the cayenne pepper in September and my tumor marker today is 31, which is normal range. I am also being treated with chemotherapy with Gemzar. My tumor is inoperable. Now everyone in the doctor's office is asking me how much red pepper I take!
Don't give up hope, I will pray for your situation and I can only share what I have done.
God Bless,
Pat
