I looked on the label of an Indian Cayenne Pepper bag. It is quite hot but not killer hot. The nutritional breakdown shows that the largest mineral listed is for potassium. If I mix a teaspoon in water and then drink it, since it is very coarsely ground, I can feel (crunch) and taste the salty crystalline potassium in the dregs... Dan

A friend got me some MSM ... One dose and the next day and after that the heartbeat was normal. I continued on it for about a year and stopped taking it. ... Recently the skipping returned and I started on the MSM and two days later the heartbeat is back to normal. I hope this information might be helpful to someone. < As a veteran taker of MSM, and as someone who has had heart palpitations, and now as a taker of fairly large doses of cayenne, I find this very interesting and can believe it. Cayenne almost totally cured my heart palpitation problem, and what little it didn't was finished by watching my potassium intake and occasionally taking potassium orotate. Cayenne is supposed to be full of sulfur compounds. I never made the connection until now. MSM would certainly be easier on the palate, but my experience says that Cayenne will do much more.
