Chocolate may hold cure for coughs

[Guest guest]

On another note you won't be really happy to hear.............

chocolate has a high concentrantion of roach parts (oooooooo, yes you heard

me right and I LOVVVVE chocolate)

And that can cause coughs and there is a homeopathic remedy made from

roaches - Blatta orientalis.....oooooo, gag.....I know.

So this makes sense if you eat just a small amount of chocolate it can act

homeopathically to cure a cough

If you eat a large amount you can end up being toxic and getting a cough or

doing a 'proving' and having a cough

Blatta orientalis Blatta Orientalis is prepared from Talapoka, the

Indian cockroach, an insect found abundantly in dwelling houses. Its

properties were accidentally found out by a gentleman, a chronic martyr to

asthma, who after taking tea, in which through inadvertence of the servant

lots of these insects were boiled down, was wonderfully relieved from all

his distressing symptoms. Later on Dr. D.N. Ray of Calcutta made a

thorough proving of the drug and recorded his experience in the

Homoeopathic Recorder of 1890, to whom we are indebted for our knowledge of

this drug to a great extent. It acts better in acute cases and in

corpulent constitutions. It has saved many cases from threatened

suffocation due to excess of mucus in bronchi. Oppression of breathing,

restlessness, profuse perspiration and aggravation from lying down are some

of the symptoms. This drug should not be confused with Blatta Americana,

another drug prepared from the American, cockroach, and greatly used in

cases of dropsy and jaundice. [Page 125. ]

Blatta orientalis Description - Indian cockroach. - N. O. Orthoptera. -

Trituration of live insect. Clinical - Asthma. - Bronchitis. -

Phthisis. Characteristics - Found accidentally to relieve asthma in a

patient who took tea in which a beetle had been infused; it has since

proved to have a wide range in asthmatic cases (Ray, Hom. Recorder, 1890,

p. 254; 1891, p. 193). - In the acute attack it acts better in low

potencies; the higher being given in the more chronic stages. - It is

especially suited to corpulent people; and to malarial cases; cases agg. in

rainy weather. - Has saved cases in which suffocation was threatened by

great accumulation of mucus. - Useful in cases of bronchitis and phthisis

where there is much dyspnoea.

Being a chocolate lover I have always found this to be true!!

Just two weeks ago a friend of mine and I went to a conference, she started

coughing so badly and just couldn’t stop ( she

had a cold) and her cough drops did nothing. So I told her to try sucking on some

chocolate, and her coughing stopped with in minutes! I thought it was the sugar

and fats coating the throat because if someone here gets a really sore throat,

like one from strep where swallowing your own spit is

painful, I always make them homemade fudge and that really helps the best of

anything for the pain.

Anyway… very interesting and boy..

sure TASTES better then cough drops or cough syrup LOL

Chocolate may hold cure for coughs

LONDON (Reuters) - An ingredient in chocolate could be used to stop

persistent coughs and lead to more effective medicines, researchers say.

The study

found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a

third more effective in stopping persistent coughs than codeine, currently

considered the best cough medicine.

The

researchers, from Imperial College London (ICL), said the discovery could lead to more effective cough

treatments.

" While

persistent coughing is not necessarily harmful it can have a major impact on

quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating

this problem, " said Professor of ICL and Royal Brompton Hospital.

Ten healthy

volunteers were either given theobromine, codeine or

a dummy pill during the trial, which also involved Royal Brompton Hospital and St Bartholomew's Hospital.

To

measure the effect of the different pill the

researchers measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause

coughing and as an indicator for the effectiveness of medicines.

The team

found when the volunteers were given theobromine, the concentration of capsaicin needed to produce a cough

was around a third higher than in the placebo group.

When they

were given codeine they needed only marginally higher levels of capsaicin to

cause a cough compared with the placebo.

The

researchers, writing in the online FASEB Journal, said that theobromine

worked by suppressing vagus nerve activity, which is

responsible for causing coughing.

They also

found that unlike standard cough treatments, theobromine

caused no adverse effects on the cardiovascular or central nervous systems,

such as drowsiness.
