Jalapeno Peppers remove just about everything harmful from your digestive tract. One year - about Christmas time - I could not even hold down water - kept throwing up ... a friend told me to eat a jalapeno - which just made me gag to think about it - later he showed up on my doorstep with a jar of jalapenos and said "take one" - actually I thought I was going to die for about 5 minutes or so - then - I could eat again - I could drink water - it is a miracle -
