Hyper-Migraines & Exploding Brains: The Suppressed & Forgotten Coca Leaf Cure
People in every age tend to look around and assume, without giving it much thought, that things as they are today have pretty much always been this way – except of course that each generation always believes that it is much more advanced than all previous generations. When it comes to diseases most of us think they have been around forever in much the same form as we encounter them in our own lives, and it rarely occurs to us that new diseases may emerge.
But diseases are not only constantly changing and evolving – it is an historical fact that every once in a while a completely new disease comes on the scene. Think, for example, of Autism. You will search in vain for any reference to this plague of the young in the medical journals and popular medical literature of previous generations. Simply undiagnosed, you may say? Present but undetected? Mistaken for another similar group of symptoms?
All these are possibilities, but upon close inspection it seems quite clear that Autism emerged as a completely new disease in the 20th Century. And even more interesting, it emerged differentially in the US and a few other economically ‘advanced’ countries – in most of the world it is still rarely if ever encountered.
Then there are the diseases of the past that have been, at least to some degree, controlled and in a few rare cases such as Smallpox, evidently eliminated. I say evidently because it is well known that the Cold War superpowers, both the remaining superpowers like the US and the defunct superpowers like the Soviet Union, have stores of genetically modified Smallpox virus in their chemical/biological weapons inventories, and these weaponized bugs are not just the garden variety Smallpox that killed tens of millions of people in its heyday – these are super bugs made as dangerous, virulent and effective at mass killing as the insane genius of modern warfare can make them.
This book, however, will focus on one of the major scourges of the modern world – the Migraine. Headaches have been around forever – historical literature records people suffering from chronic, nauseating headaches as far back as written records go. But, as Migraine sufferers know, calling modern Migraines a headache is like calling a nuclear explosion a firecracker. Sure, both go boom, but that’s where the comparison stops. Migraines are a major health care cost – running around $20 Billion a year in the US alone, and approximately $85 Billion a year worldwide. Not that this money buys a cure – modern medicine has no cure for Migraine. This $85 Billion buys treatment – which means lucrative, profitable business for doctors, hospitals, and Big Pharma, but not the end of the problem for those who suffer. Indeed, the Migraine money machine would grind to a halt pretty quickly if there were such a thing as a simple, effective, safe and inexpensive cure. And we couldn’t have that – think of all those profits going up in smoke.
Readers of this book will experience a rare treat – you will be able to peer over the shoulder of a 19th Century American physician as he discovers the evolution of Migraines emerging as a new class of disease – and you will discover that he and a few other doctors at the time had discovered a sure-fire cure. The problem for Migraine sufferers today is that this cure has been lost due to the hysteria that began in the US around 1900 over the evil of drugs, as a result of which several key natural medicines were also suppressed including a simple, natural herbal cure for Migraine - Coca Leaf.
