Coca plant(cocaine source)
Erythroxylaceae coca
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time and a purpose for everything under the heavens."
The most critical facts on this page are: The Coca plant is the source of Cocaine.[1][2] This means that believe it or not, God made Cocaine. Pharmaceutical companies use the coca plant, and its cocaine chemical, and have found ways to make various drugs out of it that are commonly used in dentistry.[2] This is a common trend with pharmacy. All drugs and medicines on the planet originate from nature, or the knowledge gainged from the study of botanicals and their pharmacology WITHIN nature. Morphine for example, exist within the Poppy plant naturally, while fentanyl does not. One drug is natural, while the other is man made. The man-made drug is created using the knowledge of how Morphine works in the first place, and how the body recepts the drug. All man made drugs could not exist without this field of study, nor would we understand how these plants work, or that chemicals within them are what produces their effect(s). Fungi and other non-plant sources are also used in phytochemistry, and in the extraction of, or production of medicines. For example, I recently added a blog on a psychoactive Lichen that produces psilocybin, shockingly.
Phytochemicals:
Cocaine[2] I'm not sure if the actual cocaine plant(E. coca) actually produces tropane, but related strains do according to studies. "Two species, E. coca and E. novogranatense, have been utilized for thousands of years specifically for their tropane alkaloid content"[11] Tropane exist in: Datura, Henbane, Atropa Bella Donna(nightshade), and Mandrake. I point out all of the time on this website how these plants are critical, and how they are medicine, and how the prohibition of them is bad for society as a whole, and even medical research. Here's a quote from a scholarly source that agrees with me: "While abuse of the narcotic cocaine has impacted society on many levels, these species and their wild relatives contain untapped resources for the benefit of mankind in the form of foods, pharmaceuticals, phytotherapeutic products, and other high-value plant-derived metabolites."[11]What is Phytochemistry? What are Phytochemicals?
Phytochemistry is the study of the pharmacological chemicals that plants produce(medicine that exist naturally within the plants).[5] Ethnobotany, pharmacology, and phytochemistry are all related. Believe it or not, all of these fields related to medicine are all tied in with the bible, the book of Genesis, the fruit, and the garden of eden. Albert hoffman is one of the most famous phytochemist on the planet, being the guy who discovered LSD[6] The reason that we know about chemicals such as Caffeine, CBD, THC, nicotine, and many others that most people have never heard of, is because of phytochemistry. It's a lie that "there's no scientific evidence to prove that herbal supplements have any efficacy", and you need to call these mis-informed people out. Tell them about phytochemistry today. Phytochemicals, are pharmacological(medicinal) chemicals that plants produce. Lidocaine is one example of a pharmaceutical drug that's derived from(made from) cocaine.[8] Benzocaine is also derived from cocaine, and there are a couple of others(likely any other pharma that ends with "caine" and is used as an anesthetic in dentistry or surgery). This is why the coca leaf and cocaine are illeal, not because it's dangerous. It's actually a very mild drug, not that strong. The serpent on the ambulance and w.h.o. emblem want control of all medicine, and to taint it all too.Pharmacological / Medicinal Properties:
"People picking up arrivals at high altitude airports typically come armed with a hot thermos of coca tea to prevent soroche (AMS)."[7] It has anesthetic properties, and central nervous system stimulant actions[9] Otherwise, it: induces euphoria, offers relief of fatigue and boredom, and other consequences of psychic stimulation[9] Some interesting studies were conducted on cocaine and how it effects the brain. I really want to show the public the vast amount of scientific research that's been conducted on this and other illegal drugs and plants, and how scientist are well aware of the positives these drugs have to offer, and how they way outweight the negatives. These plants and drugs are illegal to protect pharmaceutical profits, and the entire industry, and to rob the American people of their ability to make informed health decisions, and have accesss to safe and natural medicines and narcotics. Here are some quotes from the study and the research paper that provides these details, as cited at the bottom of the page: "Hans Berger, in one of the earliest reports describing the human electroencephalogram (Berger 1931), mentioned that a 24-year-old man given a 30 mg dose of cocaine subcutaneously showed increased EEG; alpha frequency and amplitude 20 minutes after injection. Cocaine given during a second test session with this young man produced less EEG; change. A second subject demonstrated a similar alpha amplitude and frequency increase associated with the "stimulating action of cocaine upon psychic processes." Berger gave a few more volunteers cocaine (Berger 1937). His new recording equipment allowed him also to measure EEG beta activity and he found increased beta activity along with the higher amplitude and higher frequency alpha 30 minutes after a 20 mg subcutaneous injection of cocaine. "We are confronted here with the graphic representation of the stimulating action exerted by cocaine upon mental processes," Berger said. "[9] I'm very disappointed that satan and his kingdom are seeking to steal all natural medicine, and replace it with toxic versions all tied to the false God on the side of the ambulance. The pagan gods associated with the modern medical system are heremes trigsmagistus, and Asclepious[10]Coca use in modern industry: According to the DEA website: "Today the extract of the coca leaves, a de-cocainized version, is manufactured in the United States and used in the flavoring for Coca-Cola. The crude cocaine that is left over is used by select pharmaceutical companies for medicines."[3] Cocaine was added into Coca Cola during the late 1800s.[3] This was a good thing, and it is a disgrace that it has been removed. Back in those days, sodas were made with botanicals, and were basically a medicinal beverage that one could enjoy for its recreational and medicinal benefits. Sadly, the socialist party poopers moved in to steal everyones fun and ethnobotanicals/ethnobotanical products in the early 1900s, and cocaine in its crude form was finally removed from Coca cola.[3] On a final note, the raw cocaine that is left over after processing for Coca cola, is used by select pharmaceutical companies for medicines.[3] So again, we can see this pattern of drug companies using plants that are prohibited to the average person, to either isolate out medicine, or in the production of synthetic medicine(built off the knowledge obtained from studying the plant and its ative components in the first place)[4]. I've cited this fact many times on this website, but want to reiterate again that drug companies learn about how these God-made phytochemicals work, and then create their own diabolical likeness of them(a fake version of the active components of these plants), often times with deadly consequences, and a much more highly addictive and dangerous substance than the original chemical ever was.
