Before my dad passed, he had kidney disease and was doing dialysis. He had a very strict diet that prohibited colas due to the phosphoric acid which his failing kidneys couldn't process. These people are sick and despicable. Smh
That makes weird sense now. My grandma and old aunts used to call Coca Colas "dopes". I remember as a kid when my grandma had a headache she would give me 10 cents to ride my bike down to the store to pick her up a small dope. When I was a kid all the old folks called Cokes "dopes." In the cotton mills a cart would come around mid-shift with sandwiches and small Cokes for the workers. It was called the dope wagon.
Yeah I know. It had coca leaf and kola nut extract. It was originally created by a pharmacist who had been a Confederate officer. He had sabre wounds and concocted the ingredients as a medicine for pain. All the coca and kola was taken out in 1929 but I guess my old relatives still remembered it as a tonic. My grandma was born in 1892 so when I was a kid in the early 1960s she and her elder daughters probably thought of it still as a tonic.
I remember my mom giving us paregoric for tummy aches! I mean babies and children! And it worked! None of us became opium addicts.
"Paregoric is a medication known as camphorated tincture of opium, primarily used to relieve diarrhea by decreasing stomach and intestinal movement. It contains opium and is sometimes prescribed for other uses".

Thanks for sharing this. You gave a good example why this Pharma lobbyist is a greedy sob.

Of course natural healing had to be taken out??
