I'm addicted to the spice melange

I find myself eating spicy red-colored dishes while watching the original Dune movie and the two miniseries. I can feel my consciousness expanding, and frankly its delicious.
 
I've never really cared for the taste of cinnamon. Is there any possible way I can become prescient without consuming melange? I'm even willing to forgo that whole "being worshipped as a messiah" thing.
 
I am the Mahdi Kwisatz Haderach Paul Usul Muad'dib Atreides! And so is my wife!

No matter how many hot wings I eat, though, I don't seem to gain the ability to fold space.
Common misconception. Navigators don't fold space, they see the safe route through foldspace by way of the limited prescience the spice imparts on them. The ship's engines do the folding.

True that, but if you wash them down with a bit of burbon and a beer you can unfold space!

Don't believe me? -Try eating as described -then fart, and observe how space unfolds; everybody seem to be moving away from you...
