Herbal Myths: I know of no physician who would prescribe cayenne pepper as a treatment.

I believe this is a myth and I am wary of taking this seriously.

is a turmeric (curcumin and black pepper) supplement advisable to take to promote a generally and overall healthy lifestyle? any downside?

Accepted Answer

Yes,not for everyone: Turmeric is one of the healthiest foods we can consume but is poorly absorbed so mixing it with black pepper enhances absorption (or with phospholipids in a form called Meriva). It reduces inflammation,is good for brain,heart and liver,thins blood,protects against heart disease, cancer &amp; Alzheimer's but can cause stomach upset for some and interacts with some drugs.

Accepted Answer

: Food cravings for things like ice and dirt can be due to iron deficiency. Try taking oral iron supplement available over the counter, even if you are not anemic. 
For info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/iron-deficiency-anemia/expert-answers/chewing-ice/faq-20057982#:~:text=Doctors%20use%20the%20term%20%22pica,although%20the%20reason%20is%20unclear.

Question 10

can red pepper take a few days to fully get out of your colon?i saw 1-3 small red spots in my stool for 2 days now had red peppers in a dinner friday

Accepted Answer

Yes: The average time it takes for food to transit through our GI tract is about 50 hours, but can vary from a few hours to a few days. Red pepper may not fully be digested (esp. if it is dried flakes) and thus might show up in the stool. 
If this was bleeding, bright red blood usually comes from the rectal area and would not look like flakes.
Blood from further up the GI tract is usually very dark.
