Subject: THE WONDERS OF HOT HOT RED CHILLIES
Have you ever wondered what an Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) is ? . Just as there is measure for length in Inches / Centimeters or weight in Grams and Ounces , this Unit is to express how pungently hot a particular variety of chilly is and at the top of the scale is Bhut Jalokia a small chilly , very tiny but is the hottest in the world which is expressed in more than One million Units of SHU. This number is determined on the basis of number of times , an extract from a particular variety of chilly be diluted in Sugar solution to lose its heat .In comparison , common Green Chillies are 15 to 30 thousand SHU and Kashmir Chilles are around 15 to 20 thousand and Shimla Mirch is practically Zero SHU.. The pungent heat in any chillies are due to a chemical in it which is called Capsaicin and its percentage in the chillies determine its bitterness . Now this Capsaicin is a wonder chemical and has miraculous properties in healing various system of the body as will be evident from the following description of its wonders by Doctors and Researchers. Medicinal Use and Health Benefit of Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum) The natural healing herb Capsicum contained in cayenne pepper is loaded with Vitamin A which is necessary for smooth skin and vision. Vitamin A has been found to be the most powerful killer of free radicals, which bombard us on a daily basis. Vitamin C is the other proponent active in capsicum. The healing properties of Vitamin C are clearing blood clots, eliminating plaque from the arteries, healing wounds and fighting colds. By starving them of oxygen, capsicum causes tumor cells to die. Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. It is a very high source of Vitamins A and C, has the complete B complexes, and is very rich in organic calcium and potassium, which is one of the reasons it is good for the heart. Three Italian doctors describe how they were able to reduce patients' reported dyspepsia symptoms by more than half - by prescribing red pepper powder. Capsicum (cayenne pepper) is said to be unequal for its ability to boost circulation and increase heart action. Capsicum exerts a variety of desirable actions on the entire cardiovascular system. It has the extraordinary ability to enhance cardiovascular performance while actually lowering blood pressure. Capsicum has an energizing effect on the entire system. It has traditionally been used for overcoming fatigue and restoring stamina and vigor. It is a natural stimulant without the threatening side effects (palpitations, hyper-activity or rise in blood pressure) of most other stimulating agents. If you want to carry something in your first aid kit for a heart attack, carry a cayenne tincture. Even a bottle of Tabasco Sauce® might be good enough. Dr Christopher discovered that a cup of cayenne tea, one tsp of cayenne in a cup of hot water, stopped a heart attack in under three minutes. If you feel one coming on, try a few droppers-full of cayenne tincture and if that doesn't stop it, then nitroglycerine wouldn't work either. ( Nitroglycerine and Isosorbitrate are the usual drugs Doctors advice always to carry for emergencies ) . Cayenne can rebuild the tissue in the stomach and the peristaltic action in the intestines. It aids elimination and assimilation, and helps the body to create hydrochloric acid, which is so necessary for good digestion and assimilation, especially of proteins. All this becomes very significant when we realize that the digestive system plays the most important role in mental, emotional and physical health, as it is through the digestive system that the brain, glands, muscles and every other part of the body are fed. Cayenne has been known to stop heart attacks within 30 seconds. For example, when a 90-year-old man in Oregon had a severe heart attack, his daughter was able to get Cayenne extract into his mouth. He was pronounced dead by the medics, but within a few minutes, he regained consciousness. On the way to the hospital, he remained in a semi-conscious state, but the daughter kept giving him the Cayenne extract. By the time they got to the hospital, he had fully recovered and wanted to go home and mow the lawn. If a hemorrhage occurs in the lungs, stomach, uterus or nose, it is suggested that a teaspoon of extract (or a teaspoon of cayenne powder in a cup of hot water) be given every 15 minutes until the crisis has passed. The bleeding should stop in 10-30 seconds. The reason for this is that rather than the blood pressure being centralized, it is equalized by the Cayenne , and the clotting action of the blood becomes more rapid. For external bleeding, take cayenne internally and pour cayenne directly on the wound. Cayenne is the powder made by grinding medium Red chillies which are red when fresh and are dried and ground to a fine powder. From the aforesaid statements of the medical fraternity it is suggested that the red chilies powder should be a regular herb in our daily preparations and fortunately in every Indian household red chili powder along with Termuric powder is always available on the kitchen shelf . A tincture made by boiling a couple of teaspoonfuls in purified water for a few minutes, straining and storing in a small glass bottle which should always be carried by every one who ever is threatened by a Heart stroke the symptoms of which should be thoroughly learnt from a qualified Doctor and this concoction be taken only on his or her advice. In an unfortunate eventuality as an immediate emergency measure on way to a hospital. With this treatment, I hope one is sent back home as no medicine need be required any more. Insha Allah.

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
