Coca & treatment to alleviate symptoms of emphysema.

Is anyone aware of any clinical trials on the use of Coca as a treatment to alleviate symptoms of emphysema.

I have travelled to South America on numerous occasions in the past, and I've always had a positive response when using Coca leaves & Coca tea to alleviate the added stress to the body when subjected to the rarefied air in the Andes.

I am sure it helped me acclimatise to altitude,alleviating headaches & also giving more stamina.

I would be most interested to see if anyone else got any comments on this subject.

Take care

Dave

Hi Dave,

I was very interested to read your post and will definitely be googleing it as soon as I leave the site lol

I am a great believer in alternative medicines so this would definitely be worth a look.

Thanks for posting.:)

Hi Jan,

Please let me know how you get on.

There may already be something available on the market.

If not, there should be !

Take care

Would it do to just eat lots of chocolate bars? I love chocolate.

Hi Copdber, Sorry to enlighten you but there is a difference between cocoa (chocolate) and coca (cocaine). But then again you probably know this!

Coca leaves and coca tea are illegal across most of the world I'm afraid, even though producing cocaine from them is a difficult & lengthy process and there is no evidence that there is enough cocaine in the leaves to cause addiction.

I wonder if the UN executives who decided this were sitting round a table smoking an addictive cigar and drinking an addictive brandy at the time - and at our expense
