Thanks, Wayne . . . you nailed it. . . .
I've been drinking 2 teaspoons cayenne in a half glass of water
3x a day. This is what Dr. Christopher lowered his BP with.
Also fruits,veggies, seafood & hardly any meat.
Don't smoke. . .come from a long line of German farmers.
I'm 76. . . just joined the Y,  2 weeks ago & exercising 3X/week.
