Guest guest Posted February 3, 2000 Report Share Posted February 3, 2000 TOP TWENTY REASONS WHY CHOCOLATE IS BETTER THAN SEX 1) You can always GET chocolate. 2) " If you love me you'll swallow that " has real meaning with chocolate. 3) Chocolate satisfies even when it has gone soft. 4) You can safely have chocolate while you are driving. 5) You can make chocolate last as long as you want it to. 6) You can have chocolate even in front of your mother. 7) If you bite the nuts too hard the chocolate won't mind. 8) Two people of the same sex can have chocolate without being called nasty names. 9) The word " commitment " doesn't scare off chocolate. 10) You can have chocolate on top of your workbench/desk during working hours without upsetting your co-workers. 11) You can ask a stranger for chocolate without getting your face slapped. 12) You don't get hairs in your mouth with chocolate. 13) With chocolate there's no need to fake it. 14) Chocolate doesn't make you pregnant. 15) You can have chocolate at any time of the month. 16) Good chocolate is easy to find. 17) You can have as many kinds of chocolate as you can handle. 18) You are never too young or too old for chocolate. 19) When you have chocolate it does not keep your neighbors awake. 20) With chocolate size doesn't matter.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 matt, thanks for this excellent post. i will relate my personal experiences. first, to let you know, i have lots of large nasty worms inside my colon. i had my amalgams removed many years ago. i have supplemented magnesium for a long time and will continue to do so until i can get all i need from food. i have taken dlpa for 3 or 4 months now and have noticed excellent results as far as depression goes. dlpa converts to tyrosine which is one of the main ingredients of thyroxin. i have recently read that tyrosine can act as an anti-oxidant. anyway, dlpa does great things for me. given that i am severely deficient in it, and i respond so well to it, can you take a stab as to what other nutrients and or co-factors i might almost be deficient in.? if i could get a good night's sleep i would dance naked on my rooftop in glee. i have seen magnesium work on my ex-girlfriend. she was an absolute fiend for chocolate. almost cartoon-like. and when she took magnesium the cravings went away. no easy task. also, when i start craving chocolate, which is rare, i know i am low in magnesium. i don't like the basic theory of brain drugs that supress chemical reactions. i am not an expert in biochemistry, then again no human being is. God is the expert in biochemistry. had i bought into the brain drug philosophy i would never have discovered the true cause of my problems, and would not have stood a chance in hell of actually correcting it. deprenyl is a nutrient? correct? as far as i know all of the prescription anti-depressants are palliatve and therefore flawed as far as my thinking goes. please correct me if i am wrong. an iteresting bit of info i picked up from a biochemist was that pumpkin seeds are a great source for the manufacture of serotonin. and fava beans were a great source for making dopamine. i would like to know what you think abotu sam-e. or for that matter, any other nutrient-based supplements to improve brain chemistry.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 " i think that chocolate cravings are related to magnesium defiency. (might be wrong) i think the cocoa, caffeine, and magnesium molecule have similar structures. " To coment on the above post: The relationship is that cravings for carbohydrates (like sugar and ethanol) are directly related to serotonin deficiency. Magnesium is a cofactor in production of serotonin, cocoa has caffeine in it, and caffeine is an antidepressant which acts on serotonin and dopamine. Cocoa also has the antidepressant neurotransmitter PEA (phelylethylamine) in it, along with certain cannabinoid compounds similar to the structure of marijuiana's active ingredient l-delta-9-Tetra Hydro Cannabinol (THC). PEA has been found to be deficient in many (appprox 60%) of depressed patients, and the US drug Effexor is a PEA-class drug, which may explain it's high degree of effectiveness. Also, and perhaps even better, L-deprenyl selectively inhibits MAO-B at low (1-20)mg /day doses and effectively prevents the degradation of phenylethyamine, dopamine, and serotonin. Magnesium is a mineral, and not in the same chemical class as caffeine, and cocoa is a cocktail of many different drugs. Adding sugar and fat to cocoa makes it chocolate, which then makes it a different drug in that the sugar also tends to transport tryptophane into the brain to make more serotonin. The sugar also helps maintain a high insulin level which is great if you wish to have high blood pressure, be overweight, and destroy your immune system. Magnesium, by contrast, is nature's anti-hypertensive, however most Americans are deficient in same. Magnesium is also used to chelate (bind and remove) mercury and other heavy metal toxins, so persons with a mouth full of mercury (silver amalgam) fillings tend to have serious deficiencies in magnesium, and consequently serotonin and many other necessary chemicals (neurotransmitters, hormones, prostaglandins, glutathione, etc) .. Taking d,l phenylalanine (DLPA) helps raise PEA via the d (right facing) enantiomer portion, however those with phenylketonuria lack the enzyme to process phenylalanine, at least the l form. This is why the notice on nutrasweet (aspartame), because it is made of l-phenylalanine, methanol, and l-aspartate. It is not clear to me if phenylketonurics can process the d form. Aspartame not only transports methanol (wood alcohol) into the brain, but can compete for transport of l-tryptophane and cause a decrease in serotonin, thus subverting the whole weight-loss idea, which I have seen several studies indicating no weight loss occurs with people taking nutrasweet. Thankfully, stevia is another story I would encourage readers to look into if they must have " sweets " . I hope this explains the phenomenon. Next time you're at church or the kids school, and someone states " I don't take drugs " you can ask them about that cup of coffee (with it's 40 or so drugs in it) and the nutrasweet in it or the chocolate cake they are eating. Be careful though, they just might take a swing at you if thir serotonin level is too low. Any input on the above would be welcome, as we are in the process of putting this type of info on our website. Sweetly, Matt [Matt Curtin] i think that chocolate cravings are related to magnesium defiency. (might be wrong) i think the cocoa, caffeine, and magnesium molecule have similar structures.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hi SaraLou. Sadly, I don't think the issue is the quality. I think it is the cocoa itself, that blocks calcium absorption. I am still waiting for an answer on that. Donna -----Original Message----- Welllll, to add a cheap note to this discourse, I just saw Droste (umlaut) Chocolate at, of all places, Big Lots. Most upscale department stores have a chocolate department where you'll be able to find imported choc. Also stores that pass for deli's outside of NYC often carry some imported chocolate.

I would take the moisturiser out of its container (pot?) and melt it gently in a double boiler (don't over heat or you'll kill the scent - take it off the heat when it's 75% melted and stir until melted), then as it cools use an electric beater to whip it up like butter. It should go creamy yellow and be a lot easier to use. You can use it as a hair conditioner treatment, on all of your body, as a coat shine for your pets, as a leave-in conditioner if you swim in the ocean or pool, lipbalm etc. With regards, Emma Skelton __________________ www.shabondama.biz sha ' bon ' dah ' mah Soap, bath and body products! on-line classes at www.acncraftclasses.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lotion in the pump botle (the squeeze one doesn't work very well.) It is creamy, wonderful and you will smell like chocolate. Great stuff, cheap, too.

I do know that the spinach offers much-needed iron... but I don't think that chocolate does! BTW... I love the Brit way of calling it choccy! : ) www.sistersunshine.com Re: chocolate I've found at PMS time that I can beat off the chocolate bug by eating, believe it or not, spinach. I keep track of that sort of stuff on my Outlook so I know in advance. I don't like that my body messes with me for a week out of every month, so I work at beating it. I be sure to have a small lean steak, some whole wheat pasta and a spinach salad, or spinach, sautéed with a little lemon and a dash of olive oil, every night for three nights heading into that time. Seems to keep me out of the chocolate. Go figure. OTOH I will confess that I'm not much of a chocolate eater in the first place. It is the only time I want it.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Helen, once you get your body " cleared " of the factors that are dragging down your Vital Force, you will be able to withstand the occasional toxin, bad food or other exposure. Not that it's your goal to eat badly, per se, but it is reality and it's really nice to have the latitude. Of course, chronic exposure to bad food lowers your Electrical or Vibrational Frequency as well so you can't just stay on the sugar and preservatives if you want to break out of your current prison. Most people with food sensitivities (and ALL chronically ill patients) have problems with one, and usually several of the following: SYSTEMIC VIRUSES, PARASITES, LYME DISEASE, HEAVY METALS, YEAST INFECTIONS, or low-grade chronic infections such as ROOT CANAL or DENTAL ABSCESSES. Until you get these problems knocked out, you will be spinning your wheels, just throwing your energy to the wind. The collective mind of the parasites also take over your thinking processes and highjack your desires. Most parasites live on sugar so that's what they direct you to eat. People, animals or plants that have a low vibration DRAW IN parasites and pathogens like a magnet. We don't say it often enough here, but you also need to get right SPIRITUALLY, balance EMOTIONAL problems if they exist, get at least 1 hour of EXERCISE a day, and at least 1 hour OUTDOORS every day. If you aren't doing these things it's a pointless waste of time to talk about food. Regarding CHOCOLATE, which was why I wrote this message, my wife is a baker so we have bona fide chocolate in the house 365 days a year and we eat some almost every day. It's my belief that it's virtually impossible to abuse, over-eat or have any bad experience with this kind of chocolate (except for certain individuals who can't tolerate caffeine or the alkaloids. You can try this at home, get ORGANIC BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE only and it should be a minimum of 70% cocoa solids, preferrably 80%. Forget milk chocolate and the sugary ones!

All fairly normal humans have some things we all share. You might be able to eat 2-4 oz daily for a few days until your feelings of deprivation and malnutrition go away but I've never known any non-psychotic or non-mentally ill human being (who is eating good food) who would chose to eat more than 2 oz of DARK BITTERSWEET 80%+ CHOCOLATE/day on a regular basis. You will feel absolutely SATISFIED plus it takes away sugar cravings for most people (you do need to get rid of the other problems that create abnormal cravings as well). Be sure to nibble it very slowly so the satiety catches up to your mouth. ******Most overweight people eat TOO FAST or eat while they are DOING SOMETHING ELSE. *****Many people that get overweight because they feel hungry all the time are ACTUALLY THIRSTY! They are not drinking enough or the right kind of water. Thirst feels almost exactly like hunger. ******Most people who are hungry all the time are eating low-brix, low nutrient density foods. You have to go to the GARDEN, the CSA, the COOP, the FARMER DIRECT Otherwise your body is staving to death as you get fatter and fatter. *******Every single person that thinks they are overweight or obese got that way from only one category of food. They are eating TOO MUCH CARBOHYDRATE. Sugars, starches and grains. Period. If you overconsume too much FAT or too much PROTEIN God created a satiety loop called nausea. This doesn''t happen with carbs, you just hit the insulin, the sugar goes down (after your incredible " high " -the wonderful sugar rush) and you need another fix, and another, and another, and it never stops. *********Dr Mercola says that the #1 cause of obesity in America......the low calorie diet. these diets create the " deprivation-justification " mode, cause you to obsess about eating and throw the autonomic hormone system into the STORE FAT mode. ********Dr Mercola says the #1 thing in your house that WILL MAKE YOU FAT is.... YOUR TV SET. Seriously, right after you toss the microwave, it's really important to ditch the TV. Even a " good " TV show will rot your creativity, your passion, your drive, your purpose, and your will. It's programmed into the vibrational frequency intentionally. The second you turn it on, your CEREBRUM goes numb. That leaves the lower brain functions, the EMOTIONS (reptile brain) and the BASIC FUNCTIONS the brain stem, where appetite comes from. Then the commercials and the sub- liminals start massaging those parts and you are gone. In America, obesity is directly proportional to the amount of TV watched.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 For chocolate cravings - Chocolate Porridge I like to put a couple of tablespoons of organic cocoa powder in our morning porridge every once in a while. Our favorite around here is teff porridge with cocoa in it, though I think that our dear villagers assume that I am feeding them chocolate malt-o-meal. I don't have a recipe because I just add enough to make it look and taste right to me. We sweeten ours at the breakfast table with honey or molasses. I was worried the first time that the cocoa would make people want to add more sweetener, but it seems that they actually use less than usual. It is so good with raw milk and butter! --------------------------------- Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less.
