A doctor for coca
DEFENSES. Theobald Llosa is the psychiatrist who has studied and defended over the medicinal benefits of the coca leaf, as has been applied in the treatment of addiction to cocaine hydrochloride and cocaine base. All studios are listed abroad
By Miguel Angel Cárdenas
mate did not need or coca flour to fly a Mirage V, to be president of the Peruvian
live a 'boom' naturist coca flour, similar to what occurred with the maca and cat's claw.
I would take the adjectives miraculous and sacred leaf that they are giving and go to specific things: it is a natural product of the coca leaves, without additives, non-toxic, only the grinding, and retains all the properties to one hundred percent, with ease that should not chew or throw a 'llicta'. And the intestines absorb all its elements, especially calcium, vitamin D, A, iron, and also cocaine.
You mentioned the word damn.
That's where the controversy comes, cocaine orally consumed as chacchadores, or is drunk coca tea is good, is a stimulant, such as concentrated a cup of coffee or a 'red bull' when one wants to be awake. A bag is an ounce of coca leaves, an average of five milligrams of cocaine, equivalent to two cups of regular coffee with 160 milligrams of caffeine. But it also has other effects than coffee, is an anti-fatigue, so the miners and farmers chew all day, work harder and less exhausted. And they controlled the appetite without being under weight, you have not seen mountain anorexic. Therefore, it is said that coca is the best workforce in the world, without exaggeration.
If you compare coffee, this is contraindications and damage in hypertensive people with gastritis.
From the time of the Incas, coca is not given to pregnant women or children. There's a reason we do not know yet. Suddenly, you have too much calcium - because coca is a plant that has more, four or five times with other herbs and fish - and may calcify cartilage growth. We must be careful with the hypertensive patients, those with high intraocular pressure, glaucoma.
You are the leading scholar of the road since 1996, but why so far there is no conclusive scientific paper that can cope with the negative image that is broadcast by all means?
Much information is Peruvian, Bolivian and more American, and their governments to fight but its scientists give us support in everything. What happens is there's not much disclosure. If it were true that cocaine is addictive by mouth, would not have even a single bag of coca tea in the market. Cocaine by mouth does not excite, not upset, not create paranoia, but encouraged as a cafe.
And orally not addictive? You have confessed that he is addicted to coffee and its consumption is oral.
I drink coffee all day. But it's a chemical addiction and the aim is behavioral addiction. It's different when someone starts using cocaine on the nose, smoked or injected as a paste, is excited, goes haywire, gets aggressive or depressed, drop out of school, work, draw, becomes a sociopath. The chacchador, however, consume to work harder. Those are the differences. The term now used in psychiatry and pathology is dependent. I mean I volunteered to look for something ...
But there still exists the risk that at a time is no longer a free choice, but you can no longer live without the substance or control. For example, if you take my coffee for many days, would you have withdrawal symptoms?
Yes, but a syndrome that does not upset my behavior. When you have a type withdrawal cocaine, heroin type, I need the drug as I am able to sell everything I have, then the other and when someone objects, I can kill him. So there are drug crimes. Coffee gives me a physiological dependence, but after a few days away, are you aware that someone has stolen or killed for a cup of coffee?
You have so much faith oral consumption of coca leaf has been used ironically to combating addiction hydrochloride and cocaine base. Almost a homeopathic method.
To combat cigarette addiction, nicotine patches are used, approved by the ministries of the world. And methadone is used for heroin addicts. I am a pioneer of a third method is called or agonist replacement therapy: oral cocaine as capsules or as tea, where the substance is not replaced but how to use it. Is that again, the most one can do if you eat a kilo of coca leaf is intoxicated, will not become addicted.
How did this treatment? You became famous in the 80 brain operations to be done to combat addiction, which even made the famous Jacques Cousteau interviewed for a documentary.
I had come to study in Brazil and worked in a psychiatric clinic began to fill, up to 80% of a class of addicts who smoked a cigar with pasta. Went to twelve doctors and patients came and went and had so desperate, people criticized us, but can not cure them, why are psychiatrists. And we used modern methods. But in the year 82, we saw that we could not cure anyone. A Christmas day we had a patient who slaughtered the mother. They met my doctors and said, gentlemen, here we can not continue.
and decided to go for the lobotomy!
That was the problem, confused with bilateral anterior cingulotomy lobotomy, which is a very specific thing, which until now used for anxiety, depressive ideas prone to suicide than nobody can control. I went to the World Congress of Vienna in
And almost take away the title of psychiatrist ...
In the psychiatric association, but could not. So I decided to investigate the oral use of cocaine and went to the mountains, I Quillabamba studies, I saw the mountain coca consumed more than thirty years, six days a week, were healthy. I did blood tests at the hospital and all they had were parasites. Then I started using coca tea as a substitute for addiction and saw that people were beginning to control it. And I becaron United States in 1991, the same school who called me a witch.
another controversial issue, you are in favor of industrialization, but on the more obscure it is, why are not achieved tangible results? It is assumed that the logic of market ...
Because there monopoly!, Enaco is the only one that sells coca flour, however, and is drop. Already up coca cream Digesa licenses because it is an anesthetic. There brandy coca, coca wine, which is being done in Huanta. And the capsules are the most modern product. And now the chocolate coca leaf. Digesa is very open to accepting the benefits of coca. But it is clear that I fight against drugs, not have occurred to me to be addicted to opera addicts.
And the plot, which sees on billboards and even in advertisements for the film: that the vast majority of the crop goes to drug trafficking.
True, but the solution is not eradicated. Eradication has failed since the English times. Eradication failed in Asia with opium. What do I do with leaves? I chocolates, which can be sold to a dollar for tourists. You have to make the farmers themselves have the right to make the flour of coca, the coca tea Enaco not only because they are coastal. In Colombia have begun to do roles of coca, the pulp of the root, leaves, stalks and fiber have turned them into cartons. Not only with the blade, you have to industrialize the entire plant, would lack hectares, the Government would sow a hundred thousand more for missing cartons and paper to produce coca.
Have you gone to the coca zones? ... Have you talked to the leaders growers?
A non-drug areas, I do not want to get into politics because they distort things. I've been on vacation Tingo María, in Quillabamba and Casapalca mine. I am a scientist. Nor have I read the luck in the coca leaves, I'm very realistic.
