HE WASN'T LYIN': HE WASN'T DYIN', THANKS TO CAYENNE!

LEFT FOR DEAD
by Dick Quinn
published: 1992
.
Shortly after moving to Phoenix in 1995, I took a job in a health food store. I had not been there long when one day a gentleman approached and asked if we carried GRANULAR LECITHIN. I took him back to the refrigerated section, and in the course of conversation, he happened to mention being (as I recall) 80 years old. Well, I almost fell over! Never in my life had I met a person who looked so much younger than their age! Many people have told me that I look considerably younger than 45 (I always respond that I'm pickled from the years I spent LIQUIDATED on "Mad Dog" 20/20, Night Train, Thunderbird and other fine wines), but this guy was in a league by himself!
.
I called the assistant manager over and told her to guess his age. Like me, she nearly hit the floor upon learning that her estimate of 50 was 30 years shy of the truth. I wondered if it was genetic, but he said that neither his parents nor his siblings exhibited the same trait. He attributed it to LECITHIN, which was the only dietary supplement he had been using religiously for many, many years.
.
Not long after, I purchased Dick Quinn's book, 'LEFT FOR DEAD', which includes a chapter on Lecithin and explains the 12-Day Flush. Lecithin is a type of water-soluble fat derived from eggs and soybeans. Experts say the Choline in Lecithin liquifies cholesterol and dissolves arterial deposits. From the book: Lecithin is "contained in all the cells and organs of the body. Lecithin makes up 30 percent of the dry weight of the brain. ... Lecithin breaks up fat and cholesterol into little particles and suspends them in the blood stream. ... Without Lecithin to keep the fat and cholesterol soluble it collects on the artery walls. ... Choline is one of the few substances able to break through the brain blood barrier. ... Fledgling research indicates that Choline from Lecithin may be able to boost memory and counteract depression and dementia traced to a deficiency of acetylcholine."
.
Check the ingredients of ANY candy containing chocolate and you'll find Lecithin listed. Without Lecithin, the fat would separate from the cocoa and coagulate. The Lecithin keeps it all in a smooth, liquified state. It does the same thing in your bloodstream, preventing plaque buildup in the arteries which results in heart attacks and strokes. While the 12-Day Flush (3 heaping tablespoons of granular Lecithin taken once a day for 12 days) may have a mild laxative effect on some people, it is actually designed to clear clogged ARTERIES.
.
In 2002, my Mom suffered a small stroke. Afterwards, I remembered what I had learned in 'LEFT FOR DEAD', and -- unbeknownst to her doctor -- two weeks before a scheduled test to determine the degree of blockage in her carotid artery, I convinced my Mom to go on the 12-Day Flush as an experiment. When the doctor got the test results, she was quite surprised to find that the blood flow through my Mom's arteries was similar to what she usually found in 17-year-olds, and she was at a loss to explain how the stroke had occurred in the first place. Because we didn't have a test done PRIOR to the Flush, I can't unequivocally prove that the Lecithin was responsible for the unexpected results. You can draw your own conclusions.
.
In 1992, Dick Quinn wrote, "I had a double coronary bypass about 14 years ago -- four times longer than a bypass is supposed to last. The comedian Jackie Gleason had his first bypass the day I had mine. He subsequently had three more. Then he died. ... According to 'modern medicine', I should be dead now, but I am very much alive, thanks entirely to 'ancient medicine.' My bypass was actually a failure from the very first. It closed within a week. Herbs reopened my arteries and saved my life. ... If I die tomorrow, that's OK. I'm already a winner, years ahead of the game." 
.
Well, Mr. Quinn lived another 3 years, and when he did die, it wasn't from heart failure, but from an entirely unrelated ailment that had been diagnosed 17 years earlier.
.
If you want to regain or maintain your good health, I strongly recommend that you read his book, 'LEFT FOR DEAD'. Also read 'WORLD WITHOUT CANCER' by G. Edward Griffin, 'ALIVE AND WELL' by Dr. Philip Binzel, Jr., and 'YOUR BODY'S MANY CRIES FOR WATER' by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj.
.
If you want to preserve your youthful appearance, I recommend imbibing copious amounts of cheap wine, gin, sake 'n' suds. But substitute Lecithin if you want to preserve your liver, too!

  1. Al Bondigas here. Yeah, that was a good book. Easy read too, but, it was really about the health benefits of cayenne. I've been back on the lecithin for awhile now, but I've been seriously slacking with the cayenne. I don't want to live forever, but, I do want to live long enough to see Obama and Shrillary behind bars.

    1. If ever I heard of a reason to live, THAT'S IT, Brother! [:^)

      Yep, the focus of the book is on cayenne and how it works to prevent and treat heart problems. But for me (and Ma) the most exciting aspect of the publication dealt with SOY LECITHIN. And part of that was because of the man I met in that health food store who got me thinking about LECITHIN. He was a walking, talking, breathing testimonial to it!!

      Excellent book though, as Quinn addressed so many different herbs and alternative approaches to mainstream allopathic treatments.

      I've recommended this book to countless people over the decades (along with 'WORLD WITHOUT CANCER', 'ALIVE AND WELL', and 'YOUR BODY'S MANY CRIES FOR WATER'.)

      You know, to paraphrase Mark Twain: When you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reevaluate your position.

    Cayenne? As in the spice I generously pour into batches of my Famous-aound-here Chili? I'm in! It's also my favorite cereal.
    Haven't heard of Lecithin, but then you could sell a raindrop to a storm, so I'll look into it ;-)

      My favorite breakfast cereal is Pabst Blue Ribbon!

      Yep, that's the cayenne. The Solaray brand makes a "Cool Cayenne" product: a capsule with 100,000 Heat Units but blended with ginger root, so it doesn't burn in the tum-tum.

      If you get into Lecithin, be sure to get the GRANULAR form, not the liquid form that comes in capsules and looks like Vitamin E capsules. The granular form is way, Way, WAY more effective.

      Ha! I could sell a raindrop to a storm, eh? Hmmm.... If my current job goes South, maybe I'll try taking up that line of work.
