Has anyone tried it?

I tend to think pepper oil is an inflammatory substance, how would that be good?

It's supposedly good for ulcers and hemorrhoids.

Oh lord just the thought of that will send me running! I'm allergic to cayenne. Both topically and internally.

But I'm curious, how does it help?

For interrogation purposes??

peppers increase mucosal permeability. this seems a very unwise choice.

the burn of mild peppers might help hemorrhoids similar to the way mentholatium heat (e.g., icy hot) help sore muscles - by confusing and overwhelming nerve signals. but I don't think there is any clinical suggestio it promotes tissue healing in any way.

maybe we could also try battery acid enema.

LOL good one. Apparently research shows cayenne is therapeutic for ulcers, hemorrhoids and reflux issues. It's talked about some on the web. I was surprised since it is spicy, but it's a good kind of spice. Can also use it to heal cuts.

Ha ha ha! The CIA could have been using such enemas in the village of Stare Kiejkuty in Poland:

You'd have to be crazy to try something like this...common sense automatically tells you that it would be a very stupid thing to do to the delicate tissues in the GI tract...I'm sure eating it probably is harsh enough let alone making it go up in the other end.

No, but NASA may be interested.

I wanna know who the person was that thought of this. Was it a drunk dare?

I had to look at the timestamp to see if original post was on 4.1.15.

I still stand by my comment that I'd stick a red hot poker up there for a cure or long term remission.

I don't think I would want to give that one a try any time soon!

It reflects that we are all desperately struggling to find a cure, whatever it is. It's so optimistic that after so many years there's finally a cure for hepatitis C, it has given me hopes that perhaps a cure for colitis is not mission impossible :)
