Hipercolosterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia are commonly related with the risk of coronary heart diseases, a risk that grows with age, but also during menopause in case of women.

Sitosterol and other sterols of vegetal origin (as for instance phytosterol) positively influence absorption of both cholesterols (endogenous and exogenous) reducing further risks dramatically.
Biosynthesis of cholesterol is of vital importance to the human organism, as it remains in many of our organs ( like the liver, skin, intestines and arterials) being therefore predecessor of many illnesses.

The famous Peruvian Cayetano Heredia University
found clear evidence that ingestion of Caigua caps has corrected the cholesterol numbers dramatically among test subjec

ARE COCA LEAVES A DAMN HERBAL OR A BLESSED PLANT

ARE COCA LEAVES A DAMN HERBAL OR A BLESSED PLANT

Natural Herbals for a long and healthy life.

By Arthur G. Petit MD. Phd

000 years ac The Incas discover the curative and magical properties of the coca leaves in a small plant but the large industrialized nations found other applications for the coca leaves that are far from being benefical for health.

Today, as in Inca times, coca leaves are still an indispensable element in the Andean Religion; they are used in order to make the "k'intu" being part of different offerings for ancestral deities. They also serve for predicting the future by persons who act as "mediums" between the leaves and the interested person; the leaves are thrown over a shawl and the "medium" is in charge of interpreting them.

Coca leaves occupy a spot of preference in Andean popular medicine they are used as infusions, poultices or dusts. It is normal for Andean people to drink infusions of natural coca leaves for medicinal purposes as it is considered that they are very effective when people have dizziness or head aches, throat affections and stomach problems. It is drunk as soluble tea (MateCoca) by persons suffering from "soroche" or altitude sickness. It is also used as poultices in order to relieve rheumatism and bone dislocations. Even more, in many Andean highland Communities their adult populations are used to chewing coca leaves. The leaves are just chewed and not swallowed; for that they use some very small pieces of "llipta" in which a ball is made from ashes of some plants such as the quinua. The lime contained in those ashes helps release the leaves' alkaloids and elements such as carotene, thiamine, riboflavine, iron and calcium. More over, it is demonstrated that the llipta's lime helps for a strong degrading of the cocaine molecule. Chewing coca leaves serves as an stimulant able to mitigate conditions such as tiredness, hunger, thirst, etc. It is obvious that the person chewing coca leaves will not get "high" or a "dope" state because it is a question of natural leaves that would need a chemical process with elements such as tartic acid, pure clorhidric acid, ether, and anhydrous soda sulfate, in different determined temperatures, in order to finally produce cocaine. Coca leaves contain 14 alkaloids, from which the most popular and broadly used is just one: the cocaine; the other ones are wasted or simply ignored. There are innumerable beneficial products made from coca leaves: from candies, cigarettes, tooth pastes, drinks such as "Coca Cola" that since 1903 does not contain any coca, etc. Secondary effects of chewing coca leaves have also caused disputes that almost always have a political, cultural and even racial tone. In practice, it seems that it is much less harmful than smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol. Jose Angel Escalante when referring to the Quechuas says, " "That coca leaves make them idiot"...it could be, but, among thousands of Indians about two or three imbeciles are hardly found and all or almost all of them chew coca. Even more, it is not demonstrated that use of coca leaves is harmful.

Invigorating miracle coca leaves are! There is no any knowledge of any Indian having suffered from dyspepsia, having lost teeth or having gotten sick from them, before one hundred years old.".

The ecological level for cultivation of the coca bushes is found in the higher Andean Amazonian jungle, only in certain zones located at an altitude between 800 to 1800 mts. (2600 to 5900 ft.); in poor lands not using aqueducts. Officially its cultivation and trade are controlled by the Peruvian government by means of the Coca National Enterprise (ENACO) that must buy all the coca leaves produced in the country. That production will be used for legal sale for the population and the pharmaceutical industry.

Production of leaves for consumption by Andean people is small, its use and treatment are framed inside a cultural and anthropological field; while most of the production is aimed toward pharmaceutical affairs and trafficking

To obtain a few grams of cocaine the evil drug, is necessary to collect a large quantity coca leaves and process it using harmful chemicals.

But you can appreciate the benefits of the coca leaves just serving as an infusion in a cup of boiling water, of course there is a commercial soluble tea product available in the market.

Erythroxylon is the botanical name of the coca leaf and there is a full in deep study made by Antonio Brack Egg a Peruvian scientific biologist who devoted more than twenty years studying Peruvian native plants under the financial support of the United Nations Development Program and CBC (Centro de Estudios Reginales Andinos Bartolome de Las Casas.

Coca leaves might be useful as a natural treatment for; altitude illness, asthma, gastrointestinal ailments and motion sickness, high blood, as a fast-acting antidepressant, boost alertness, as a substitute stimulant for coffee in certain cases, and as an adjunct in programs of weight reduction and physical fitness (reduce the to anxiety of eating). In leaf form, coca does not produce toxicity or dependence. Its effects are distinct from those of cocaine (see references).

A whole extract of the leaf, include; alkaloids, natural flavors, and several nutrients vitamins A, B1, C, E, B12 potassium, magnesium Zinc copper Sodium, Phosphorous, Calcium Fiber, iron.

The Andean natives like to chew today coca (cacao) burning some coca leaves and mixing with fresh coca leaves wrapping a piece of lime forming a ball of coca leaves with the lime as the nucleus to obtain a chemical reaction together with the inner mouse fluids to support long hardworking periods without a need to eat or get tired

Of course if you arrive to Cusco to visit the Machu Pichu ruins you

Will be invited by the people of the region to take a cup of Coca tea for free and they will encourage to accept if you don't want to suffer the altitude illness and if you like to visit Hares you also will have the opportunity to try Coca Tea for free (of course if you like to try again they will charge for it.
