Can ingesting Ruthenium Red prior to eating chili peppers nullify the burning sensation?

I'm trying to prank my friend into entering a bet where we see who can eat more Habanero peppers (he claims he can beat me in anything). In order for the prank to work, I need some sort of method to nullify the burning sensation from the Chili. I've read that this can be accomplished with Ruthenium Red. Is this really possible, and where can I get it? Is it even edible?
