I have been eating healthy chocolate for 5 months now, and when I started in February my weight was 209 lbs. Today (July 20th), my weight is 183 lbs. My blood pressure is down (130 over 80), and my cholesterol is also way down from what it was 6 months ago! I'm sleeping much much better now then I have over the last few years. All in all, I FEEL GREAT! I'll never stop eating healthy dark chocolate! Thank you so very much for this fantastic product!

This new line of healthy chocolates is the most exciting thing we've seen. It doesn't get any better than being able to lose weight and have a healthy body from enjoying chocolate every day! My husband Kenny has lost 14 pounds in two weeks. He has seen improvements with his sinus and allergy issues as well as his arthritis. I now sleep better at night and love the extra energy I feel!

-Linda G.

I have always loved chocolate but I never knew how good dark chocolate could be for my body. As a coal miner who works 10-hour days, I have always been worried about my diet and overall health. I typically would eat snack cakes, cheese crackers and all types of candy just to get me through the day. Now I have a sandwich and healthy dark chocolate nuggets and don't crave the other, unhealthy foods anymore. I am thrilled about these products for my health.

-Bob A.

My family has a history of high blood pressure. I am 37 years old, and my blood pressure was averaging between 150 and 159 before I started on antioxidant rich healthy chocolate. Since then, my blood pressure has dropped 40 points. Needless to say, my entire family is using this healthy chocolate with acai.

-Jedd N.

I was first introduced to healthy chocolate in the latter part of November 2006. At the time, I had no idea what healthy chocolate was, or what it could do for our bodies. I had a high heart rate for several years—95 to 115 beats per minute. My wife would watch my pulse in my temple and tell me that my heart was going to explode someday. We were visiting with my mother in June of 2007, and when my mother was checking her blood pressure and heart rate my wife asked me to check mine (I had not checked my heart rate since I had been on the chocolate). We checked my heart rate and it was 63. We thought we did something wrong, so we checked it again. It was 64 the second time we checked it. The only thing I have done is start taking healthy chocolate daily. Still unsure, we checked my heart rate again when visiting with my mom a month later, it was 68. My wife and I are excited. We now have a product that we can depend on to help maintain our health. Thanks for this wonderful product.

-Bill A.

Since 2003 my heart has been out of sinus rhythm. As a result I was put on a blood thinner to protect from blood clots. In October of 2006 I started taking this healthy chocolate. I have my blood checked every month, and since I started taking the chocolate, my dosage of blood thinner has been reduced four times. I would much rather enjoy a piece of chocolate than a pill.

-Beauford J.

Funny thing, I stopped by the pharmacy where I always check my blood pressure which runs, on my meds, about 130 over 85ish. This time it was 111 over 77….this is not right….checked it again 111 over 77 after the third try with the same reading I believed it. That’s the lowest I have ever seen in my life!! I’ll be checking my weight this evening to see if there’s any change there. Due to the bp and cholesterol meds I have to visit the doctor every 6 months and it just so happens I will see him in Oct so if this keeps up I’m going to ask him to lower my dosage from 40mg to 20mg and let’s see what happens.

-Chris L.

I was diagnosed with diabetes in the summer of 2004. What a shock. I was immediately given a prescription for a drug to control my sugar level. I, of course, changed my diet and started exercising. After being on an UNPROCESSED dark chocolate and acai product for 30 days, I am no longer on my prescription drug. My sugar level is staying in the normal range. And as a "chocoholic," I can now eat chocolate again, guilt-free!

-Butch S.

Before I was taking a healthy chocolate antioxidant beverage, my blood sugar was running around 195 to 206. Since I have been using the chocolate beverage with acai, my average blood sugar is 156, with the lowest being 126. I think that is quite significant for a Type II diabetic!

-Vince G.

Being an insulin-dependent diabetic has made it challenging to control my blood sugar even though I have an insulin infusion pump that continuously administers insulin. I am also allergic to chocolate... or so I thought until I tried a healthy chocolate beverage with acai! I am happy to say that I am NOT allergic to the pure cocoa used in this beverage, and I am enjoying it daily with taste and health benefits I never thought possible.

Today I am using less insulin with incredible blood sugar control, even when I eat the chocolate with acai nuggets as opposed to drinking the beverage. When I am feeling stressed, overtired or hungry between meals, I have a nugget or a one-ounce serving of the chocolate acai beverage. Literally within a few minutes I feel more relaxed with sharper focus and better concentration to handle the task at hand. The swings of high and low blood sugars cause poor concentration and focus, which sometimes makes it extremely difficult to read or complete tasks. These swings can also cause aches and pains and poor circulation. As long as I take at least three ounces of the chocolate and acai beverage each day, I do not experience the aches and pains that were waking me in the middle of the night.

I am looking forward to a lifetime of great health with deliciously healthy chocolate in spite of the fact that I am a diabetic! My husband also enjoys healthy chocolate with acai at least three times a day. He has replaced glucosamine and other antioxidant products he was using for aching legs and knees and has discovered incredible results of his own. We are indeed headed for a happy retirement while sharing this product with others so that they may experience great health of their own.

-Karen S.

I am a type 2 diabetic. Since starting healthy chocolate, I've lost 12 lbs. My blood sugar dropped from the 200's to 110-130's and my last A1C test was 5.6. Needless to say I am spreading the word.

-Robert E.

I used to have low energy because of my heart condition (my heart doesn't beat at a steady rhythm). When I would go to the gym to swim, I would only be able to swim about half a lap before I was exhausted.

I have been using a healthy chocolate drink with acai for three months now. I recently went back to the gym to try swimming and was shocked to see how much energy I had. I was able to swim over 12 laps! The only reason that I had to stop was because the muscles in my legs were shaking because they weren't used to having that much exertion. This product has changed my outlook!

-Bill E.

As a stay at home mom, I used to have to have a cup or two of coffee to keep me awake to get through my long days caring for my toddlers.

After just two days of eating this healthy chocolate, I noticed considerably MORE energy!! I feel better and I'm able to accomplish more in my day than most stay at home moms.

-Angela D.

I am 37 and in 1974, my family and I were knocked off a sidewalk by a car. Ever since then we have had lots of pain and plenty of pain killers. We are riddled with arthritis and pain. Since eating the healthy dark chocolate, our pain has been cut by half and our energy has increased twice over. We feel better and are not as depressed or aggravated as we were. Not only did we gain more energy, but we have been loosing weight which we thought would never come off. I have lost so much weight in the last month of using the chocolate that I have had to move my wallet, keys and change into a pouch to keep my pants from falling down. This is truly an awesome product!

-Andrew O.

I was introduced to a healthy chocolate drink about two months ago. At first I couldn't believe that something so delicious could be so good for me. I did my research and found study after study regarding the cardiovascular benefits of dark chocolate, including lowering LDL cholesterol and raising the HDL (good) cholesterol. In addition, I read that it also can reduce inflammation.

I have a degenerative lower back disease and have to sleep on my side with a pillow between my legs to take the pressure off my lower back. I have grown used to the pain in my shoulder and hips from sleeping on my side. I just assumed that when you are over 50 you naturally have a few aches and pains. After taking this healthy chocolate drink I noticed that the pain in these areas is virtually gone. I have even lost five pounds!

-Rick S.

I am 57 years old and thought that all of the problems I suffered were just part of getting old, or the "Golden Years." Not much gets me down, but feeling chronic pain has been very challenging. A couple years back I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia; I received various treatments for many years. My muscles didn't work like they were supposed to, and I had blinding headaches four times a week. Pain medication did help, but that brought on its own set of problems. Chronic pain takes it toll, and at times it was unbearable. I found out how easy it would be to become addicted to pain medication, and at times I probably would have done anything to make the pain go away for just ten minutes. Thankfully, I was never tempted by more than what I could stand. I also have arthritic joints. They aren't terrible but painful enough that I climb the stairs slowly and have to make sure that I have a tight grip before I pick something up.

Ever since I started to take a wonderful chocolate drink with acai, I noticed a real change. Then the real surprise came. After three weeks I didn't have any more headaches. I would wake up each morning and expect the usual wave of pain that I would experience when I moved my head each morning. When it did not happen, I almost cried tears of gratitude. Yes, I still do have the occasional headache. But with all that I have been through, I can deal with that. And believe it or not, I now run up and down the stairs without pain. All this is possible with just three ounces of this ultimate antioxidant beverage each day.

-Karen C.

I recently had reconstructive surgery on my left knee and decided I would double my intake of the chocolate antioxidant beverage. At my first check-up with the doctor, he was blown away at the lack of swelling in my knee. I am walking much better than expected and believe the antioxidants in the chocolate are helping me heal.

-Keith B.

I suffered with chronic pain in my right knee for two years prior to taking an antioxidant beverage with chocolate and acai. There were times that I would have to wear a knee brace because it was really painful and miserable. Within three hours of taking the chocolate beverage, the pain in my knee vanished. The inflammation was also gone within a three-hour period. I had never experienced anything like this before with any of the other products or companies that I had been with. I was impressed.

Chocolate is probably the most complex perfect food on earth. It has extremely high antioxidant value and works synergistically with other antioxidants. The combination of ingredients found in this beverage is the best we can get.

In October 2005 I was at work when I fell to the ground and lost my speech. I was rushed to ER, where staff did an MRI, a CT scan, and a spinal tap. Blood gushed out of the spinal tap so I was immediately taken to UC Davis Medical Center. I was diagnosed with an inoperable aneurysm in my brain, plus a VAD that caused severe stabbing pain. Brain fog has been a problem since that incident. I returned to work, struggled with my memory, and in June 2006 I underwent lower back surgery due to a blown disk. The medical doctors told me I have permanent nerve damage, but when I started with the chocolate a month ago, my brain fog lifted, my bladder improved, I sleep all night long now, and my right leg is not as numb anymore. The high quality of antioxidants in healthy chocolate have helped to restore the nerves in my leg and I feel hope again. I have also lost 11 pounds and my complexion has improved. Knowing that the chocolate is helping me, gives me incredible confidence as I enthusiastically recommend it to everyone!

-Barbara A.

I have worked 11 years as a dental hygienist, and have experienced severe inflammation in my arms and shoulder joints for about 7 of those years. I have had it for so long that I didn't really know what it was like to be pain free. I've been eating the healthy chocolate for almost a month, and my pain is greatly diminished. My husband has commented on how much energy I have lately. It's been wonderful!!

-Mitzi

Greetings from Longview, WA. I am extremely pleased to say that I am typing this testimony while sitting criss cross apple sauce. Just six short months ago, I would have never guessed my flexibility would have returned. I have an auto immune disorder which in the past meant achy, inflamed joints and cranky emotions. I was a mess. I tried to block the pain, and the exhaustion of pretending to feel good was wearing on me and those who live with me. I used only things from nature to block the pain, which was helpful, but the remedies did not address the inflammation. I was always feverish and not too much fun to be around.

I do not go far without my healthy chocolate drink. If I go just one day without it, my symptoms present themselves again. Thank GARSH it is chocolate and it tastes wonderful! Chocolate Cheers,

-Penny L.

Healthy chocolate nuggets are a godsend and have given me my life back! Instead of constant pain (inflamed joints on my right elbow) which I suffered for a couple years, I can now lift things and begin to enjoy life again. I realized my other pain on my right hip also vanished.

-Lin B.

I have been in the transportation business for over 30 years. I have had left shoulder pain for the last 10 years. My doctor said that I can either learn to live with the pain or take pain pills. Since you can't drive a truck and take pain meds, I learned to live with it until the weekend. A friend of mine had me take a small healthy chocolate nugget. He told me it may help my shoulder pain. About three hours after taking this, my shoulder stopped hurting. I ran out of the chocolate after two days and my shoulder started hurting again the next day. I did this three times on and off, on and off, on and off. I am off all my pain meds now. I will not be off this healthy chocolate again. By the way, I have lost 40 pounds since Feb 26, 2007. This chocolate gives you so much energy you do not get tired.

-Harlan E.

I have RA and have been on medication for years. I am only 48 and was worried about the effect that medicine would have on my body over time. I decided to give the chocolate a try so I started drinking a healthy chocolate drink twice a day and a healthy chocolate nugget or bar in between, depending on my needs or mood. It not only worked, but I completely went off of the medications when I started eating the chocolate and I feel fantastic. I ran out of the healthy chocolate drink and found the inflammation and pain coming back, so I immediately ordered more. Now I find that as long as I use the chocolate regularly I have none of the problems associated with RA. Wow, what a relief.

-Terry L.

Twenty years ago I was in the greatest physical condition of my life. I had dreams of running in Barcelona in the 1992 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately, on the way to a workout I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle. That accident crushed my right foot and laid me up for about six months.

At the time of the accident I weighed about 160 lbs. By the time I rolled out of bed six months later I was at 265 lbs and extremely depressed. I have struggled with my weight and depression ever since. The trauma to my foot was such that I was incapable of exercise. Any sustained pressure or activity would cause my foot to swell to twice its normal size. I lived on ibuprofen to control the pain and swelling and started the diet process to control my weight.

I have lost over 1200 lbs. dieting over the past 20 years, unfortunately due to the “yo-yo” effect I gained over 1400 lbs. during the same time period. I finally maxed out at 375 lbs and I quit trying.

When I was introduced to Healthy Chocolate I was very skeptical. I only started taking it on a challenge from a friend. My results were dramatic. In my first week of Healthy Chocolate 20 years of chronic pain in my foot seemed to melt away. I have not taken an ibuprofen in almost a year now. In addition to the pain being gone I lost 38 lbs in my first month. My sense of well being was such that I found myself wanting to live again. I now exercise regularly, I find I crave healthy foods as opposed to the junk I used to “live” on and I have lost 85 lbs. to date. I still have a long way to go, but it is wonderful having a product that gives me the ability to make it there. I am eternally grateful to my friend and their persistence in getting me to try Healthy Chocolate!

-Jon M.

Before taking healthy dark chocolate, I was on a prescription drug for heartburn daily and could not go more than three days without the medication before getting heartburn. For the past two months, during which I have been eating healthy dark chocolate, I have not had to take any heartburn medication at all. I ran the ingredients by my medical doctor, who has wanted me off the prescription drug for years, and he thought it was phenomenal that the chocolate was so healthy and helped with the relief of my heartburn symptoms.

-Janet Rohde

I was receiving a shot every three months for pain in my lower back subsequent to my suffering an accident where a ceiling-high bookcase landed on my neck and back.( I had also had neck fusion and my hips replaced.) I haven't needed the last 3 or 4 shots because the pain is gone. Also fibromyalgia and arthritis pain are gone. My energy is UP. I stained my back fence by hand two weeks ago-20 panels-and it is exciting to be able to DO so much more, and enjoy the sense of well-being besides. Let's hear it for healthy chocolate!

-Liz Sartori

When I was 16 I went on a horseback trip in the Uintah mountains. The horse got spooked and I was bucked off and landed on a rock, shattering portions of my vertebra. We were 26 miles in with no chance to get other help, so the other members of the group made a travois and drug me out on it. It took three days. I haven't slept a full night through since then, and that was ten years ago. I started taking five ounces daily of a chocolate antioxidant beverage with acai and within four days slept the whole night through! In fact, I was late to work for my first time in five years. I don't have an alarm because I always wake up long before it is time to leave because I can't sleep. I have since had to buy an alarm, because I sleep every night, all night.

-JD M.

For the past year and a half I had not been able to sleep through the night. It was affecting my health and even my mental state. I spent most days walking around in a daze. After one week on healthy chocolate, I started sleeping through the night! I can't tell you how great it is to get a full night of rest! I tell everyone I know about this wonderful healthy chocolate!

-Kelly M.

I have suffered from severe allergies for 14 years. In fact, I tried immunotherapy (allergy shots once a week for five years) with limited results. I was taking multiple allergy pills a day and the side effects were debilitating (drowsiness and dryness). It was a daily balancing act that I hated.

I have had four corneal transplants and more than a dozen subsequent reparative eye surgeries over the last 10 years due to complications with a corneal disease. Having severe allergies and an eye disease definitely do not mix. My allergies attack the weakest parts of my body: my eyes. If you have had corneal transplants, rubbing your eyes is not a good idea because of the sutures that still remain. The pain and discomfort is torture. The steroids I put in my eyes several times daily do not necessarily help control the symptoms. The only real solution was complete avoidance of the elements.

Since I started drinking healthy dark chocolate with acai, I have not taken an allergy pill or had an allergy attack. I can breathe and function normally most days. My eyes are not suffering, and for some unexplained reason my vision is getting better. I do not have joint pain like I used to. The only thing I have done differently is consume these potent antioxidants.

-Adam G.

I have had severe allergies my entire life, but I am happy to be able to say that I am now going through my second allergy season without a prescription antihistamine. It is wonderful to be able to enjoy our beautiful northwest outdoors again.

I have a very long list of health issues that have been positively affected by this amazing product. I find that it's easier to get up in the morning, I'm sleeping more soundly and those little aches and pains that were getting worse every year are definitely lessening.

Being able to eat chocolate and get healthy at the same time is something I never imagined, and truly a dream come true!

-Linda L.

Since childhood I have been allergic to most green things that grow in the ground. For me, breathing through my nose feels like I'm forcing the air through a mass of wet concrete. I fight for every molecule of air. With this comes frequent sinus headaches. Allergy shots did nothing. Pills mostly alleviate my symptoms but have side effects that are often worse than the original problem. Even moving to the dry desert didn't help. My story was featured in a 1999 Associated Press article about allergies in the Tucson Desert. I learned to live with the chronic congestion and pain of sinus cavities that are 15 percent open at best.

All of this changed after I started drinking a chocolate antioxidant beverage for a couple of weeks. One day I noticed that I could breathe in through my nose deeply, without a struggle. The congestion was virtually gone. My sinuses felt light and open. To make sure this wasn't my imagination, I stopped drinking the beverage for about four days. Sure enough, back came the "concrete-filled" feeling. So I went back to drinking healthy chocolate with acai. I no longer need to pop decongestants to breathe and painkillers to deal with my frequent sinus headaches.

-Terri C.

Having suffered with allergies for as long as I can remember, I gave up believing that there was any way of getting rid of them.

This spring was my first allergy season since adding the Healthy Chocolate to my day. I haven't had an itch, watery eyes, sneezing, or any of the terrible experience that come with allergies. I can now go camping and work outdoors without being drugged out of my mind with over-the-counter or prescription meds, just to control all the itchiness and sneezing! Finally I get to catch up on all the years of outdoor activities I've missed! Thanks Healthy Chocolate for adding a new freedom to my life!!!

-Allison K.

My name is Mark Ewen. I am from New Zealand and arrived in Utah in 2004. When I got to Utah I had a miserable time dealing with allergies; red and itchy eyes, execema, stuffed sinus etc. I went and saw a local allergy specialist who told me I was allergic to every tree type, grass type and pollen type in Utah. He put me on allergy shots at $25.00 per week and my allergies got a little better. It wasn't until I started taking healthy chocolate that I noticed a real difference and within 2 weeks I stopped my allergy shots. These healthy chocolate products have allowed me to enjoy Utah without having anymore allergy problems.
