CHOCOLATE CAN REDUCE COUGHS
A study from London dealt with the effects on coughs of theobromine, an ingredient found in cocoa. British researchers conducted a small study in which they tested theobromine against codeine (used in the most effective prescription cough medicines) They found that theobromine was more effective than codeine as a cough-supressant.
The researchers theorized that theobromine worked by acting on the vagus nerve, which is responsible for coughing.

As long as your ailment isn't mucus-related or exacerbated by caffeine or sugar, chocolate does indeed cure everything.
