Not directly They recommend an external 22,000 mfd

Are you sure it's not 22,000uF? 22,000mF = 22F is a blinking large
capacitor (not impossible, these days - I've used a 10F one).

Sorry, yes it's micro 10^-6 not milli 10^-3

Mind you, since capacitors in the 10F range are available, not too
expensive, and about the size of an AA battery, it might be worth
using one. Just be careful folks - Very Nasty Things Indeed will
happen if you short one of these suckers. Stick a discharge resistor
across it for a start.
