It is not strictly by the book, and Pepe has lots of excellent arguments against it, but my excellent naturopath/nutritionist has me take cayenne in caps. One cap 3x daily. Does the trick for me! You might even start with one cap and build up.
Cayenne is an excellent part of the cleanse, and cuts mucous like a white tornado! I highly recommend you try this. However, failing this method, absolutely go on without it.
Best,
Somer
