MDJunction to me

HiddenButterfly"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)

Hi Linda,

I really like the sound of this... nothing better than a little chocolate to cure what ails you... LOL!Wink

On the other hand, I would be sooo willing to try this.

I see where they say that apples would be good too.

I may not be able to get hold of the kind of chocolate she suggests, but I have plenty of apples.

I'm wondering, too, seems too good to be true.... etc.

But worth trying... less expensive than drugs and much better for you.

Hi Linda,

Would it work if you disolved it in the coffee?

I do like Lindt and have tried the 90% dark cho. But it is so bitter.

Does it have to be 90%?

My boss is selling a dark chocolate supplement that seems to work pretty good. He gave me a sample of one of the squares and it wasn't bitter at all. This comes in a liquid, nugget, or block form. A girl at work is taking it. She has lupus and RA and in a months time she was able to quit or cut down on ALL of her prescription drugs. As soon as I can afford a bottle of the liquid I am going to try it.

Here are some web sites about it.

Thanks, Auriel, for posting these sites. I had a look at all of them and they sure make me want to find out where to get the healthy chocolate from.

Well I couldn't agree more. What could be better than chocolate if like me you love chocolate. So the Dove bars meet the criteria then? Awesome cuz I really didnt want to order anything online. I have to definietly check that out. I had a good fourth...just lounging around at home which was the plan Wink I hope you and everyone had a great 4th too.

hugs to all,
