Cacao Powder
My dear friend and my brother likes to refer to cocoa powder, as “Capow”. When you eat this food, she, as a wave of energy hits you, and “Capow!”; How fast during the day of his bliss instantly transformed into a new and interesting direction.
Not many foods (which are legal) have an influence on the human body, if any. Cocoa powder, of course, the League of their own. Truly psychoactive food, cocoa mainly used in shamanic rituals and ceremonies.
Cocoa powder is naturally bitter, very bitter. This is connected with a powerful array of alkaloids. Foods that have medicinal value, for the most part, have a number of alkaloids.
Food, people who use home conditionally today, not medicine and does not occur in nature. Kale, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, even we see on the market today are not wild food means that you will not see broccoli head anywhere in nature. Alkaloids were bread to satisfy the taste requirements that a person prefers home. These alkaloids physiological response mechanisms, which are medicinal in some form or another. Discussion about certain alkaloids are medicinal or not is a popular and, apparently, one of personal perception.
Alkaloids in the Saguaro cactus to the home of the West, are nothing more than drugs. For indigenous people south-west, which has flourished without the influence of the West for thousands of years, this plant has powerful medicinal properties, which connect them with the “spiritual realm.” The fact that these cultures have thrived for thousands of years and almost the same common beliefs or whether the neighbors around the world, may hint that there really is something the Western analytical mind in the last 500 years is not enough.
The last 500 years, Western influence has resulted in harmful physical degeneration and disease, which was unseen and unheard of before the natives. Microscopes, logic and reductionism were to receive the human species Nowhere Fast, actually at the forefront of their own extinction. The idea to humble ourselves and looking at our ancestors for the traditional way of life may be the only thing that can save mankind from its apparent defeat.
