I means more leftovers for later &amp;amp; I don't mind that... less cooking!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hubby is still doing well without his Rx heartburn medicine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; He's only almost reached for an antacid once and that was an evening he had pizza and wine, two things that usually cause major pain by themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My son and I are still not needing any allergy medicine&lt;/b&gt;

having to worry about my sugar intake on a daily basis, but I know a lot of people who do and I feel for them.&amp;nbsp; My mom recently has had to face this life changing disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diabetes is an escalating concern in the United States.&amp;nbsp; It is thought it is increasing in incidence because of our populations lack of exerise, and diets high in fat and sugar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Eating healthy nutritional foods, even with a sedatary lifestyle,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;can help delay the onset of diabetes&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #741b47;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why and how is this Xocai safe for Diabetics?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xocai is made with natural low glycemic sugars which are better for all of us because they are in their natural state, not refined.&amp;nbsp; Also, contrary to what we've often been taught, table sugar itself is less of a threat to one's sugar levels than a baked potato!&amp;nbsp; Most of you who are diabetic should already know that, but those of us who aren't learn when we ourselves or a close family member is diagnosed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only is Xocai made with low glycemic sugars, it is also low in carbohydrates... the drink being the lowest.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #741b47;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About my mom...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When my mother started eating Xocai, she was re-learning how to eat because she had just recently been diagnosed with diabetes.&amp;nbsp; She was being careful with her sugar and carbohydrate intake and the Xocai chocolate was a great find for her.&amp;nbsp; After looking at the labels, she decided she could easily fit the Activa drink and a XoBiotic into her daily limits and was looking forward to eating chocolate everyday, even if it didn't do anything else for her.&amp;nbsp; Her results were nothing short of quick &amp;amp; amazing!&amp;nbsp; Her A1C levels, well...&lt;a href="http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/10/moms-story-real-life-testimony-to-xocai.html"&gt; See her story here for yourself&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; She continues to do better all the time and is getting of some of her medications right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #38761d;"&gt;So... How does chocolate and acai help a Diabetic?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cocoa is rich in flavonoids (flavonols) &amp;amp; antioxidants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; Studies have shown that people with high levels of flavonoids in their blood have a lower risk of heart disease, lung cancer, prostate cancer, asthma, and diabetes.&amp;nbsp; Flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer and antiviral properties.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flavonols can protect the cardiovascular system and improve the utilization of insulin&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Cocoa flavonoids make the body more sensitive to insulin, reducing blood sugar levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Acai is one of the most antioxidant rich food sources available&lt;/b&gt;, with cocoa (unprocessed chocolate) being just under it in antioxidant values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keep in mind that acai must be freeze dried shortly after harvest &lt;/b&gt;to maintain it's nutritional values.&amp;nbsp; Most products that are sold promoting acai don't tell you their ORAC (antioxidant value) or how they were processed because likely they were not freeze dried, if they were they would certainly promote it as such.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antioxidants&lt;/b&gt; help rid the body of free radicals,&amp;nbsp; molecules that steal electrons from healthy cells creating more free radicals. &amp;nbsp; Free radicals occur naturally when you age, exercise, even when you breath...&amp;nbsp; and don't forget about the cleaners you use, the pesticides and herbacides that are used to grow our foods and keep our lawns, and if you smoke you're really introducing free radicals into your body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: purple;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: white;"&gt;Read &lt;a href="http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/10/moms-story-real-life-testimony-to-xocai.html"&gt;mom's complete story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;

Shortly after I signed up to be a healthy chocolate eater, I went with my mom over to Mary's house to help her set up a website.&amp;nbsp; She had been eating the chocolate herself for only a short time and had noticed a few changes already... one being her reading glasses were too strong.&amp;nbsp; She'd worn them for years and never thought twice about it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary met us for lunch one day shortly after that and was able to read the receipt without her glasses.... something she couldn't do before.&amp;nbsp; She had my brother-in-law confirm it was right because she didn't believe herself that she could really see it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My mother recently told me of another lady we know who has glaucoma&lt;/b&gt; ... we'll call her Jane.&amp;nbsp; Her sister recently started eating the healthy chocolate and was giving some to her to try.&amp;nbsp; Now Jane didn't really want much to do with it, she wasn't big on nutritional supplements and always went by the doctors recommendation, and most doctors don't recommend supplements!&amp;nbsp; She's been eating the chocolate probably 2 weeks and went to play the piano on Sunday.&amp;nbsp; She had to look at the pages twice to confirm what she was seeing.&amp;nbsp; The pages were clear, she could see them better than she had in years!&amp;nbsp; Jane's now a believer in eating healthy chocolate and is signing on to help others along the way.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are real stories about people I know.&amp;nbsp; I'm still surprised and amazed when I see quick results like this happening for people.&amp;nbsp; I can't promise the same results for everyone, but it has improved the life of everyone I know that's been eating it.... including my four year old!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7624236847180602458-6035376219618778891?l=poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/feeds/6035376219618778891/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/healthy-chocolate-is-helping-eyes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/6035376219618778891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/6035376219618778891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/healthy-chocolate-is-helping-eyes.html' title='Healthy Chocolate is Helping Eyes...'/><author><name>Suz</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SaDkKJV3duI/AAAAAAAABDk/m2-Hayyy5wM/S220/100_5566.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624236847180602458.post-8234893759058745947</id><published>2009-11-17T08:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T11:54:13.024-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='xocai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='testimony'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthy chocolate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chocolate'/><title type='text'>Yet Another Update on Mom...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Mom called me yesterday all excited....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;She'd been to see her regular Doctor.&amp;nbsp;

It is a somewhat new company at 4 years old currently, but it is growing stronger all the time.&amp;nbsp; It is marketing great, unique products that can't be purchased elsewhere and that have given great health results to many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;There are now 4 options for becoming a distributor for Xocai...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I will list them from the most basic to the most advanced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Affiliate -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; At this level you are a distributor for their new healthy energy drink, Xe.&amp;nbsp; You will pay $25 to get started and will need to buy in with 2 cases of product.&amp;nbsp; This is a brand new option as the product will not be out until December.&amp;nbsp; Email me at suziqzer@yahoo dot com if you'd like a Pre-application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Basic-&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; At this level you can simply buy at wholesale for yourself and your family, or you can begin building a business if you choose.&amp;nbsp; This option places you at the lower level starting out, but you can work your way up and earn one expansion center.&amp;nbsp; You are required a $39 startup fee and an initial purchase of 2 boxes of chocolate.&amp;nbsp; After you make your initial purchase you must keep at least one box a month on autoship if you want to maintain a business with Xocai.&amp;nbsp; If you wish to simply buy at wholesale, there is no minimum purchase requirement and you can cancel autoship if you like.&amp;nbsp; This option will cost you $289 to get started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Business Builder-&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; At this level you gain some advantage to the business side of Xocai. This option gives you 3 business centers and the ability to earn up to 3 expansion centers, you will also earn money earlier with this than the Basic level.&amp;nbsp; At this level you are again required to pay the $39 startup fee and are also required to purchase 6 boxes of chocolate, you do get a 20% discount on your first shipping charge.&amp;nbsp; After you make your initial purchase, you will need to stay on autoshipment of at least one box a month to stay maintain your business with Xocai.&amp;nbsp; This option will cost you $770 to get started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Executive Fast Start-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; At this level you gain the advantage of earning money faster/earlier.&amp;nbsp; This level places you about half way up the levels of Xocai.&amp;nbsp; It gives you 3 business centers, the ability to earn up to 3 expansion centers, and places you at the executive level of the business where you begin earning the 1st generation executive bonus (more about that on another post soon).&amp;nbsp; You again will have the $39 startup fee and will be required to purchase 12 boxes, you will get a 33% discount on shipping/handling on your first order.&amp;nbsp; You will be required to stay on autoship with 2 boxes a month to maintain this level of business with Xocai.&amp;nbsp; This will cost you $1480 to get started.&amp;nbsp; This is the best option if you think you want to make a business effort out of Xocai. You will need the extra chocolate to give out as samples and to supply your customers with until thesir supply comes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #a64d79; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How to Sign Up...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;You'll want to start by going to the &lt;a href="http://poweredbycocoa.com/"&gt;Xocai website&lt;/a&gt; and clicking on Sign-Up... or simply click &lt;a href="https://www.iact1.com/mxi/Application/Apply.cfm?EnrollerID=139846&amp;amp;Theme=DefaultTheme_USA&amp;amp;ReturnURL=mxi.myvoffice.com/markbradford&amp;amp;LNG=en_mxi&amp;amp;iact=1"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The next screen will automatically have "Join as New Distributor" selected.&amp;nbsp; If you've decided to give it a go with the Executive Fast Start, you will want to select the box for that as well... then click "continue".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Fill in the required information and select the number of boxes required for the business option you've chosen.&amp;nbsp; Remember...

Lifetime!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #a64d79; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's great about Xocai is that you can buy it at retail if you want and try it... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Try the &lt;a href="http://mxi.myvoffice.com/markbradford/"&gt;variety pack&lt;/a&gt; to see what you like.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;You can choose to sign-up for wholesale pricing which will pay for itself in probably two boxes and then you can buy as much or as little as you like at the discounted wholesale rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;To sign up for the wholesale pricing&lt;/b&gt; go to the &lt;a href="http://poweredbycocoa.com/"&gt;main page&lt;/a&gt; and click on Sign up.&amp;nbsp; From there you will be directed to a distributor sign up page.&amp;nbsp; You will want to leave the "Join as New Distributor" selected and click continue.&amp;nbsp; From here it will ask you for all of your mailing and billing information.&amp;nbsp; It will also ask you for your social security number and I'll explain later why.&amp;nbsp; It will also ask you to agree with VirtualOffice Agreement, you will want to go ahead and do that as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will need to select at least two boxes in the first order.&amp;nbsp; After that you can put them on autoship so that you get one box as the prior one is running out, or order them as you need or want them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When you sign up as an eater to get the wholesale prices&lt;/b&gt;, you are basically signing up at the basic distributor level.&amp;nbsp; You can choose to just get the product at wholesale prices, or at any time begin promoting Xocai products and building a business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the SS#... When you sign up for Xocai at any level, they are optimistic that you will see results eating the chocolate and begin promoting it.&amp;nbsp; If you never do... that's perfectly fine.&amp;nbsp; So many people do that it just makes it easier to have it from the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also told you to go ahead and agree to the Virtual Office Agreement... Why?&amp;nbsp; Because for the first year it is free and you can go online and order your chocolate at wholesale easily.&amp;nbsp; If you've selected to have autoshipment, you can check and see what your next order is and change it as you like.&amp;nbsp; If you decide to go ahead with a business, it will be helpful to you to have the online side available to you.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My parents signed up at this level initially thinking they would try the products and see what they did for them.&amp;nbsp; My mother, being a recently diagnosed diabetic decided it would be great to be able to have chocolate 3 times a day as a diabetic even if it didn't do anything else for her.&amp;nbsp; You can find her story &lt;a href="http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/10/moms-story-real-life-testimony-to-xocai.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; After eating the chocolate for about 8 weeks, my parents saw such great results they wanted to help others with the chocolate and signed up as higher level sellers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7624236847180602458-4311889304505354861?l=poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/feeds/4311889304505354861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-sign-up-to-get-wholesale-prices.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/4311889304505354861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/4311889304505354861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-sign-up-to-get-wholesale-prices.html' title='How to Sign Up to Get Wholesale Prices...'/><author><name>Suz</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SaDkKJV3duI/AAAAAAAABDk/m2-Hayyy5wM/S220/100_5566.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624236847180602458.post-2720389757626629464</id><published>2009-11-10T15:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-10T15:05:23.098-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='xocai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='results'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chocolate'/><title type='text'>More Results...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #e69138;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #e69138;

Friday was going to be 2 full weeks eating it 3 times a day and if you've read &lt;a href="http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/10/why-were-trying-xocai.html"&gt;here before &lt;/a&gt;you know he's been on Rx medication for heartburn and that he stopped it the day he started eating Xocai to see what would happen.&amp;nbsp; He fully expected to be running to the medicine cabinet to take his medication, or at least something over the counter to assist with heartburn and to his surprise he didn't need it.&amp;nbsp; Soon a few days had past, he'd even eaten Mexican complete with chips and salsa with no problem.&amp;nbsp; He noted some very mild burning a few times, but nothing that even made him want so much as a Tums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past Thursday... just shy of the two week mark, he decided to stop eating the chocolate to see what would happen.&amp;nbsp; He didn't tell me he was doing this and expected to have to take his heartburn med right away.&amp;nbsp; To his surprise he didn't have any increase in burning sensation until Saturday evening and he hadn't changed his diet to "be safe".&amp;nbsp; At that point he told me about what he was doing and said he was ready to start eating the chocolate again.&amp;nbsp; He came to realize that the chocolate was doing more than helping him with the heartburn so he didn't need his medicine.&amp;nbsp; He noticed an decrease in energy and an increase in his appetite, neither of which he desired.&amp;nbsp; We'll see if he decides to stop eating it again... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;About me, Suzie... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've had a persistant cold and had been taking cold medicine much of the time at night last week, so I started taking my allergy medication in the mornings so I would be able to wake up when I needed to.&amp;nbsp; Saturday evening we were on our way home from a church function and I said something about all the combines and harvesting going on... that's when I realized I hadn't been taking my allergy medication.&amp;nbsp; Since I'd been trying to take it in the morning, I had forgotten to take it &amp;amp; couldn't say when the last time was that I had, but I had no allergy symptoms at all.... None!&amp;nbsp; I admit that I'm bad about remembering it unless I'm having allergy symptoms and I often used to forget at night simply because I was too tired and then end up paying for it in the morning.&amp;nbsp; The next morning I got up and upon getting in the car Mark started to say something about getting my allergy medicine, because if I had forgotten it the night before ... I need it in the morning! &amp;nbsp; Before he said anything he noticed I hadn't picked up a Kleenex all morning and was fine.&amp;nbsp; He asked me when I took my allergy medication and I told him I didn't... not last night and not in the morning!&amp;nbsp; I was in better shape than if I'd taken my medication at either time and it is harvest season... one of the two worst times of the year for me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have half a mind to do what Mark did and stop eating Xocai for a few days and see what happens, but I'm loving the allergy free life too much to want to even spend a few days like that even with medication.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;My little guy....&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to tell you it's harder to know what's going on with him as far as results, but I have noticed that like me, his allergies have seemed to stop as well.&amp;nbsp; I have a Rx allergy med that I give him in the evenings as he needs it, and this is one of those times of year.&amp;nbsp; I stopped giving him the allergy medication at about the same time I stopped taking it because he had the same cold I did.&amp;nbsp; I failed to give him any allergy medicine either shortly after our colds subsided as well and he is doing fine like myself... and I didn't realize we had stopped taking it.&amp;nbsp; No allergy medicine for I don't know how long... bad Mommy!&amp;nbsp; But... I wouldn't have known for awhile if I hadn't forgotten and he'd be taking unneeded medication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I too think his appetite is picking up.&amp;nbsp; I'm not sure what to do with a kid that eats his meals, then asks for snacks all afternoon, and then eats dinner ok.&amp;nbsp; Could be growth spirt, we'll see if it continues or levels out.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A realization... &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The funny thing about doing this&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is that you don't often see all of the results right away.&amp;nbsp; When something doesn't hurt, you don't think about it.&amp;nbsp; It's when you realize that something that usually hurts doesn't that the Aha moment occurs.... that was my case with the allergies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My aunt had a similar situation.&amp;nbsp; She didn't realize that her arthritis in her hands was no longer bothering her until my mom started asking her about things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you start eating Xocai&lt;/b&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I recommend you take a mental note of all your ailments, or better yet, write them down.&amp;nbsp; Then in a few weeks, go back to that list and see if anything's changed.... hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised like we have!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7624236847180602458-2720389757626629464?l=poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/feeds/2720389757626629464/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-results.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/2720389757626629464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/2720389757626629464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-results.html' title='More Results...'/><author><name>Suz</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SaDkKJV3duI/AAAAAAAABDk/m2-Hayyy5wM/S220/100_5566.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624236847180602458.post-490296094653269048</id><published>2009-11-06T12:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T19:50:55.706-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='xocai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='testimony'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='results'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='first week'/><title type='text'>Our Results ... 2 weeks</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SvSF0ZWJPlI/AAAAAAAACQU/2h6uZBQ9t0M/s1600-h/101_0274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SvSF0ZWJPlI/AAAAAAAACQU/2h6uZBQ9t0M/s320/101_0274.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is my family...&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;My husband Mark and myself (Suzie) and our little guy.&amp;nbsp; This picture was taken during our last vacation in August 2009 at a little restaurant in St. Andrews... Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Beautiful scenery and tides!!&amp;nbsp; Had a great time visiting some friends... Love you guys! :)&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I had to write and tell you some new results Mark &amp;amp; I have noticed in the short time we've been eating Xocai.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; We've officially been eating the chocolate 3 times a day for 1 week as we started Friday morning...October 30th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mark still has yet to need his prescription heartburn medication... &lt;/b&gt;Being the skeptic, he stopped taking it the day he started eating the chocolate just to see what would happen.&amp;nbsp; He has the occasional burning sensation, but nothing yet that triggers him to want even so much as a Tums.&amp;nbsp; Considering he was hurting usually by lunchtime if he even missed one dose is saying something.&amp;nbsp; He's relieved to be away from the medication and expects the occasional mild burning that he does have to become even less over time.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I have noticed several things about myself...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; I have carpal tunnel syndrome and withit I have numbness in my right hand and fingers at times, and even pains that shoot up through my arm and shoulder when my carpal tunnel flairs.&amp;nbsp; When I started eating the chocolate last week, I had been having some shoulder pain.&amp;nbsp; I tend to forget about the numbness, but when the pains come I notice. &amp;nbsp; I've tried wrist braces and have trouble sleeping with them on.&amp;nbsp; My brother-in-laws girlfriend is a massage therapist and she's done some massage for me which relieves the tension and pain for quite awhile, but it does return.&amp;nbsp; I've known for some time that I would probably be facing surgery for the carpal tunnel, but have been avoiding it.&amp;nbsp; I noticed Wednesday night at a meeting that my shoulder wasn't hurting anymore and my numbness was gone... Yeah!&amp;nbsp; Hadn't even thought about it until someone else mentioned their pain was gone... funny how quickly you forget about pains when they're gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another change for me... &lt;/b&gt;a bit embarrassing, but here goes.&amp;nbsp; I suffer from what is probably irritable bowel syndrome and my time in the restroom is seldom.&amp;nbsp; I think this is becoming more and more common in America with our stress levels, diet, and exercise or lack there of. &amp;nbsp; I'm usually very careful about what we eat and try to keep things healthy, lowfat and high in fiber... confessing that when we eat out it's sometimes a different story.&amp;nbsp; I've noticed that since I've been eating the chocolate, things have been more regular and easier in the bathroom.... something even added fiber supplements didn't often help me with.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;We haven't noticed any changes in our 4 yr old so far.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; He gets a quarter of my serving 3 times a day after his meals.&amp;nbsp; He doesn't ask for more and knows it's his serving of "special chocolate".&amp;nbsp; He's even come to the place where he says, "Thanks Mommy" each time I give him a piece.. &lt;b&gt;So Cute!&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oh... &amp;amp; one more thing we've noticed this week...&lt;/b&gt; Hubby and I love the occasional buffet.&amp;nbsp; We are the frugal type as you may note from my other blog,&amp;nbsp; so a buffet is a "get your moneys worth" meal out.&amp;nbsp; We went to a buffet with my sister and her husband this week and were both had a salad and had just started on our dinner plate and were full... no going back, no wanting dessert, couldn't finish the first hot plate we got... either of us.&amp;nbsp; We were both a bit lost with the feeling we had... as we usually enjoy a buffet.&amp;nbsp; Neither of us felt like we could handle any more food and we didn't "get our moneys worth" on that trip.&amp;nbsp; It was a bitter sweet kind of feeling and both of us decided that now that we're eating chocolate, we probably won't be wanting buffet style meals anymore.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7624236847180602458-490296094653269048?l=poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/feeds/490296094653269048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/our-results-1-week.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/490296094653269048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/490296094653269048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/11/our-results-1-week.html' title='Our Results ... 2 weeks'/><author><name>Suz</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SaDkKJV3duI/AAAAAAAABDk/m2-Hayyy5wM/S220/100_5566.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SvSF0ZWJPlI/AAAAAAAACQU/2h6uZBQ9t0M/s72-c/101_0274.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624236847180602458.post-2820783764503842760</id><published>2009-11-05T10:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T16:25:21.568-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='xocai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy drink'/><title type='text'>Energy Drink Xe on it's way!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SvMSbcdTfcI/AAAAAAAACQE/JFD2tTsq3tw/s1600-h/img_can01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SvMSbcdTfcI/AAAAAAAACQE/JFD2tTsq3tw/s320/img_can01.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #4c1130; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #4c1130; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Xocai will soon be launching their new healthy energy drink....

I'd seen it before.&lt;/b&gt;  I was diagnosed with Asthma at a young age and my parents were told that they would have to put me on a weekly allergy shot to control my symptoms.  Mom wanted nothing of it and started researching her options for an alternative.  Because of that we went to an all whole grain diet, back in the days when you could only get whole grains in the health food store and they sure didn't taste so great!, no unnatural sweeteners (we only used pure honey, molasses, &amp;amp; maple syrup), and meats were all from our farm.  We also began using loads of vitamins with the help of a specialist and I am happy to say I never had one of those allergy shots!  Thanks Mom!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #e69138;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now let's move on to today...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;We saw the results Mom had and were impressed&lt;/b&gt;, still maybe a bit skeptical, but intrigued.  Her lab results were great... and she came out of her "post cancer fog" and began smiling again.  She got back her zest for life... I didn't realize she had changed like she had until I saw her coming back to her normal self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then went with Mom to my Aunt's house who had been on the chocolate for a very short time... maybe a week.  She had to put down her reading glasses because they were now too strong for her!  After visiting with her awhile she couldn't decide if she'd noticed any other changes, but as we talked about all the benefits we'd heard about with Xocai she realized she hadn't experienced any more arthritic pain in her hands for a few days.  As we were leaving, she began thinking of other things that were different &amp;amp; better and was loving her realizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After watching everyone else improve&lt;/b&gt;, my husband &amp;amp; I eventually couldn't resist the urge to try it for ourselves.  We've only been on it since Friday last week... 6 days and my husband has already noticed some changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My husband suffers from heartburn...&lt;/b&gt; due primarily to excessive coffee drinking at his workplace, and has been&amp;nbsp; taking a prescription medication daily to relieve him of the pain.&amp;nbsp; Without the medication, he would suffer.&amp;nbsp; He had found that if he really carefully watched what he ate, he could skip a pill for a day, but that was as far as he could go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mark decided to do an experiment... &lt;/b&gt;he stopped the prescription medication (I don't recommend this to anyone... meds are important and you should talk to your Dr. before altering yours).&amp;nbsp; He knew his only result would be suffering from heartburn if he only did it a few days and really didn't expect to be able to do it. We know that people have gotten off of meds after having taken the Xocai chocolates for awhile, but stopping the med the day you start?&amp;nbsp; No way!&amp;nbsp; Again.. &lt;b&gt;Don't try getting off meds without talking to your Dr first!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He started eating chocolate on Friday (last Friday, Oct. 23rd, 2009) 3 times a day.&amp;nbsp; The morning and evenings he took the XoBiotic and in the afternoon a Power Squares.&amp;nbsp; Come Sunday afternoon we had mexican for lunch, including salsa which really gives him trouble if he's forgotten his pill... still no need for a pill.&amp;nbsp; I believe it was Monday night was the first time he mentioned he had a bit of a "burn".&amp;nbsp; He hadn't been watching his diet, had been drinking coffee which is something he has to try and avoid large amounts of even on the pill, and this was the first discomfort he'd had.&amp;nbsp; As of today, October 30th he has yet to take a pill!&amp;nbsp; He's had a burning sensation on a rare occasion, but nothing severe or even bothersome enough that he's even gone for a Tums.... and he only started the chocolate Friday last week... one week ago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;As for me...&lt;/b&gt; My asthma bothers me in the form of allergies, and the occasional weesing  &amp;amp; tightness in the chest.  I could also stand to lose a few pounds and am excited about that possibility!  Love that Weight Watchers can do what they do, but I struggle with portion control... not food choices primarily, just portion control.&amp;nbsp; I'm a very careful cook serving low fat, whole grains, and plenty of fruits and veggies, not to the extreme my family did when I was a child, but I think I'm much more conseous about what my family eats than most Americans ... eating out I must confess is a different scenario.&amp;nbsp; I've heard many reports that the Xocai curbs your appetite, so I'm hoping it works for me this way.&amp;nbsp; If it helps me with my allergies too, that will be a bonus!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;We also have a four year old little guy&lt;/b&gt;, who I will refrain from naming for now-something about putting his name on the internet bothers me.&amp;nbsp; He is the joy of our lives and a long awaited blessing from God.&amp;nbsp; We have also started giving him small bites of&amp;nbsp; "special chocolate" as Mark calls it and he knows he just gets a bit at a time.&amp;nbsp; I usually just give him about a quarter of mine.&amp;nbsp; He is not an eater... never was from day one, so I'm anxious to see if this gives him an appetite.  He was also born with an eye condition called ONH or Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (his optic nerves didn't develope properly).  He seems to see well and there's no real chance the chocolate will do anything for his eyes, but I would love to see him enjoy eating with us at the dinner table.&amp;nbsp; Every meal gets to be a struggle because he can't understand why we want to sit and eat.&amp;nbsp; I will have to say he at least likes the chocolate!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7624236847180602458-6074220954015734726?l=poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/feeds/6074220954015734726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/10/why-were-trying-xocai.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/6074220954015734726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7624236847180602458/posts/default/6074220954015734726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poweredbycocoa.blogspot.com/2009/10/why-were-trying-xocai.html' title='Why We&apos;re Trying Xocai...'/><author><name>Suz</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZCEUSXSE_JY/SaDkKJV3duI/AAAAAAAABDk/m2-Hayyy5wM/S220/100_5566.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624236847180602458.post-5328304605843627097</id><published>2009-10-27T14:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T08:07:22.455-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='xocai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='testimony'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mom'/><title type='text'>Mom's Story...

They have added acai berries and blueberries for extra antioxidants. &amp;nbsp; And, I could even eat three pieces a day on my &lt;span id="lw_1256679059_13"&gt;diabetic diet&lt;/span&gt;. &amp;nbsp; It was supposed to cure whatever ailed me, so we figured what could we lose -- we could at least sign up to try it out -- and I could eat chocolate 3 times a day!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;That was 6 weeks ago (8/19/09)&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I saw my &lt;span id="lw_1256679059_14" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;"&gt;family physician&lt;/span&gt; this week and had &lt;span id="lw_1256679059_15"&gt;blood tests&lt;/span&gt; run.&amp;nbsp; He was blown away with the results and I'm still smiling&amp;nbsp; :-D  .&amp;nbsp; My cholesterol and triglycerides dropped, my &lt;span id="lw_1256679059_16" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;blood pressure&lt;/span&gt; is lower, the blood glucose levels are good (and I'm hoping to eventually get off the insulin), the really good part is that my &lt;span id="lw_1256679059_17" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;liver function tests&lt;/span&gt; show my liver to be &lt;b&gt;almost normal! (&lt;/b&gt;They had initially told me that my liver would never get any healthier and would most probably get worse.) &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This product is almost too good to be true.&amp;nbsp; We have heard testimonies at local meetings about health results from people with heart trouble, arthritis, lupus, asthma, allergies, &lt;span id="lw_1256679059_18"&gt;skin conditions&lt;/span&gt;, cancer, and all kinds of medical problems who are getting positive results.&amp;nbsp; Some great results come within days of eating the chocolate --others take a little longer.&amp;nbsp; But wow!&amp;nbsp; This stuff is good! &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are having health problems, or if you are concerned about someone you know, or someone you love, and want them to try this for themselves, we encourage you to come to one of the meetings.&amp;nbsp; We can get you dates and times of meetings in your area -- or just call us and we can give you more information about the products or meetings or results about specific health conditions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are not good with sales&amp;nbsp; -- and that is not our intent -- we just want to pass the blessings along to others who are suffering needlessly with health problems.&amp;nbsp; There are no guarantees -- but it is worth a try.&amp;nbsp; It has certainly worked for us.&amp;nbsp; There are seven products available.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Part Two!!
