OT: Peppers (was HERBS)

We've had a guy who claims the same pop into this group recently.
He has a "secret" recipe that he won't post into the group, so
immediately he's suspect. You have to log onto his URL and most
likely purchase a book he claims to have written, and click on
this and that google ad so he can collect his dime or quarter
for every "hit."

(1) Habaneros are not the hottest pepper. They aren't a third
as hot as the hottest. So he's mistaken there. Like the surgeon
removing the wrong leg on the operating table?

(2) Can you imagine his "cure" __not__ being plastered over every
TV newscast and the front page of every newspaper if it was true?
Does it make any sense at all that the only way you will learn
about his "cure" is via that URL you posted? Why did the Christian
Science Monitor __not__ pick up the story and publish it?
