Doctors test hot sauce for pain relief
By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer 25 minutes ago
Devil's Revenge. Spontaneous Combustion. Hot sauces have names like that for
a reason. Now scientists are testing if the stuff that makes the sauces so
savage can tame the pain of surgery.
Doctors are dripping the chemical that gives chili peppers their fire
directly into open wounds during knee replacement and a few other highly
painful operations.
Don't try this at home: These experiments use an ultra-purified version of
capsaicin to avoid infection

wrong and overly simplistic - natuopaths have known of the efficacy of
cap., but not the why or other than topical usage. this article is in
pursuit of the why, and looking for expansion on the trial and error
knowledge of the past:
"With only a few exceptions, most naturopathic treatments have not been
tested for safety and efficacy utilizing scientific studies or clinical
trials"
these are some of the tests and studies not heretofor done....
