Although there would be no need for any help, being the sacred green Coca itself the effective very speaker of its own values and benefits, worthy of praise are some people who were distinguished performers and promoters of its goodness.
Peruvian scholar Hipólito Unanue, already in the 18th century, claimed: In situations of food shortage, especially of sources of protein such as meat, Providence has supplied us with this wonderful Coca plant.

The Wine Mariani, mentioned in another chapter, became the unaware precursor of one of the worldwide most successful and beloved beverages; in 1880 a southern Army Colonel, pharmaceutical chemist in Atlanta – as well as inveterate morphine addicted since he had been wounded in the civil war – named John Styth Pemberton, officially registered a Coca Wine, ideal tonic and stimulant, founding later the Pemberton Chemical Company.
In conjunction with the epic of the Wine Mariani, in Bologna (Italy) a Coca liqueur, named Coca Buton appeared on the scene; because of the relatively small amount of Coca leaves used in its production, after the extraction of the alkaloid cocaine, it reached a wide success on the Italian and foreign markets for a time even longer than the Wine Mariani,
In the green and syrupy liqueur Coca Buton various aromatic herbs stay together with green Coca, being the alcohol content around 36.5 degrees.
An historical evidence of the good effects of Coca, the sacred plant of the Andes, comes up from the very past, from the mysterious sceneries of Himalaya.
Here it goes.
In April 1953 a German-Austrian climbing team left Munich (Germany), led by doctor Karl Herrligkoffer, and directed to the magic setting of Himalaya, aiming to get the top of Nanga Parbat (8125 meters), one of the 14 mountains above 8000 meters, not yet reached by human being; in the team the climbers Hermann Buhl and Hans Hertl, who had delayed his climbing plans in the Andes to catch the challenge.
Curiously – and also as a significant demonstration that the sacred green Coca incessantly reassembles the harmony of cosmovision – the elf of Coca certainly enjoyed a lot, darting into the bag of the draw for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
In fact the inaugural game was played in Bolivia, the Andean cradle of Coca, between Germany, the country where cocaine was isolated in laboratory, and the United States of America, one of the countries where the use of white powder is more spread and … home of Coca Cola.
