-Caveat Lector- COCA LEAVES DRINK OF THE GODS andrew hennessey many people will hear the word Coca and then associate it with the production of Cocaine - but it is probably little known that cocaine is only ONE of FIFTEEN alkaloids in the Coca leave. The evidence for the use of the Coca plant as an aid to good life has turned up in the remains of egyptian mummies - and suggests a historical global knowledge of this plant. Known to dieticians and the medical Doctor who wrote a treatise on it - Dr Gold - the benefits of a Coca infusion were believed to detoxify the blood and enable us to live longer. The study by Dr Gold somewhere in the 1920's has since been condemned to the dustbin of history when the practise of adding ether to the leaves was started to extract the only alkaloid that is alcohol soluble - ie. Cocaine which concentrated and isolated by itself as we know is a badly addictive compound. The introduction of Federal laws to outlaw Coca soon followed and in the latter half of the 20th century biotech viruses were assembled which could permanently destroy the crop. It is rather like saying that the Almond Nut crop should be permanantly destroyed because of its cyanide content. Dr Golds field/empirical studies on the curative properties of Coca indicated that this plant was important to the health of the species. However today the dark markets of suffering have made a lethal and vile trade of suffering - even the CIA have been dubbed the Cocaine Importing Agency - and it may be that amongst the poison and the lies a vital medicine and curative has been lost to humanity forever.
