Ten Foods Packed with Calcium
Orange Juice: Many fruits contain calcium, including oranges. Enjoy a glass of orange juice with your breakfast and boost your calcium stores. Calcium-enriched OJ will provide even more of your daily needs.
Almonds: Almonds contain almost 100 mg of calcium per ounce. Almonds also may be beneficial for those with high cholesterol.
Black Eyed Peas: Not only are black eyed peas a good source of calcium, these little beans also contain potassium, folate and other nutrients.
Blackstrap Molasses: Use molasses instead of syrup or sugar in some of your recipes to increase your calcium and iron intake. Molasses contains even more calcium than milk.
Broccoli: Steam broccoli for a high-calcium side dish or add it raw to salads for an extra boost.
Figs: Fresh figs are a good source of calcium; about four of them will give you more than 100 mg of calcium.
Kale: This super-green is high in calcium, other minerals and antioxidants. Add shredded kale to your salad if you need a calcium boost, or serve it cooked as a side dish. Beet greens and spinach are also rich sources.
Oatmeal: Oatmeal is considered a heart-healthy way to start your day. But, oatmeal also provides a significant amount of calcium. Just one packet of instant oatmeal provides about 100 mg.
Salmon: We already know salmon is a nutritious fish, loaded with essential fatty acids, but this fish is also rich in calcium and other minerals.
Sesame seeds: Sprinkle them on cereal or salads; sesame seeds are not just high in calcium, but also provide fiber and unsaturated fat.

Cayenne Pepper- The True Miracle Herb
The effect of Cayenne Pepper on our body is dramatic.
Did you know that this spice could save life of someone who's having heart attack?
Dr. John Christopher, the famed Natural Herbalist, was persecuted relentlessly by the government for his practice of herbal medicine all the while assisting patients in curing heart disease, cancer, tuberculosis, infertility, rheumatism, leukemia, and every other incurable under the sun.
One of his greatest stories in his long career was how he could instantly stop a Heart Attack if he could get the patient to drink a glass of warm cayenne water. He said, "A teaspoon of cayenne should bring the patient out of the heart attack."!!
Immediately stops internal Hemorrhaging, if the patient can drink a glass of extra warm cayenne water, Dr. Christopher wrote, "...by the count of ten the bleeding will stop. Instead of all the pressure being centralized, it is equalized and the clotting becomes more rapid."

The cayenne pepper drink, when taken faithfully, will dramatically improve your heart health as well as your venous structure. Drink it with warm distilled water but if that is unavailable, purified water will substitute nicely. Start by mixing about a quarter of a teaspoon in a glass of warm water. Then, down the hatch. Don't worry, you'll get used to it.
Of course, the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of the cayenne pepper you're using should be known. Most cayenne is between 30,000 to 50,000 SHUs.
Some, though, like the African Birdseye cayenne pepper powder can come in anywhere from 90,000 to 140,000! Needless to say, you should scale back your dosages of this until your body acclimates to its heat.
Use as a plaster with honey for rheumatic pains, pains of the joints, gout, swellings, etc.; Use outwardly as a liniment, apply it warm or hot for arthritis and rheumatism; gargle for scarlet fever; use an infusion for ulcers in the mouth, strep throat or tonsillitis.
So, there you have it. Cayenne pepper is literally one of the greatest health secrets in the world. And the list did not finished yet!
