    If anyone is still using sugar in any form stop using it, for me personally I cut out sugars and grains and within two weeks the pain has gone from my leg when walking. Sugars inflame arteries making the disease worse.

    A recipe would be nice to have. I use organic cocoa powder in various things and wonder just what kind of chocolate was used in the study.

    As Dark Chocolate contains a lot of magnesium and potassium which softens ateries and is reported to remove plaque and reduce blood pressure so could it actually be the magnesium and potassium which are causing the results rather than the flavanoids.

      Exactly. Magnesium is extremely important for optimal health with 300+ functions in the body. Yet most adults are deficient.

    I have PAD and would love to be part of the larger trial. I've had 3 stints and a bypass, within 3yrs, all have failed. I'll try every therapy to prevent loosing my leg. Wish they would have them in the NYC/Philly/Boston area.

      Do you know about the your own stem cell therapy? Also a new technique of clearing up the plaque etc. by going through the foot upwards? I too am researching because I don't want to lose my leg. About to make a batch of cocoa power drink now.

      The only idea we have rn for stuff like this is Esselstyns diet. Or basically no fat(no oils too), no salt, no cholesterol diet.

    Study Design
    The initial study used a double-blind, placebo-controlled design enrolling male and female subjects aged 55-70 years. Supplementary Table 1 delineates the end points measured (collected at the beginning and end of the study). All volunteers were evaluated for dietary habits and instructed to maintain their usual lifestyle, limiting high caloric foods, and the intake of flavonoid-containing foods and beverages (ie, chocolate and tea). Subjects were also instructed to walk for 30 min/day as vigorously as possible. Participants were randomly assigned to consume once a day a powder-based beverage for 12 weeks containing either (i) a cocoa-free skim milk-based powder (with coloring and flavoring) beverage, placebo (P); (ii) an alkalinized natural cocoa powder without flavonoids (0 mg), no flavonoids (NF) or; (iii) a natural cocoa powder rich in flavonoids (179 mg), flavonoids (F). All beverage powders were prepared and donated by Hershey and had as best possible, similar physical characteristics and flavor. Beverages were provided in individual sachets containing 22 g of a dry powder that was reconstituted with water just before consumption. Table 1 summarizes detailed compositions of the beverages.

      purple? Oh, so you're waiting until you get gangrene before you see your doctor?
      Food can help but will not fix a disease as serious as PAD.
      Ask your doc for an ankle-brachial index test, an ABI test.

    71 years 9ld. I have total blockage of my right femoral artery. We have several cocao trees that bear fruit and we are able to make a very cocoa syrup that I mix 1 tbsp in a glass of hot water. My wife is fixated about the cholesterol in cocoa and nothing can change her mind. So I am risking my life taking cocoa that you suggest. Am I risking death by drinking sugarless cocoa?

      Cholesterol (LDL) isn't bad until it comes into contact with free radicals. Cacao chocolate (baking chocolate) is dark chocolate. Cocoa is refined Cacao. Cacao chocolate is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, potassium and the flavenoids.

    • @Bankai90

      Cocoa powder has no cholesterol. Just get one that is processed with potassium, since some are not.

      Eat lots of nuts and seeds that are high in magnesium. This is critical for improving blood pressure. Walnuts also high in ALA omega 3. Several seeds also have this.

    Hello good,
    I hope you are good.
    A big greeting from Costa Rica!
    Cocoa cures 80% of diseases, that I assure you. It must be fresh and with husksꓼ the video of how it is ground was sent to you along with the one on how to drink it, but first I must fully explain why people stop drinking it.
    Cocoa is taken in hot water from 1 to 6 tablespoons daily, the body must get used to it. on an empty stomach preferably the start when you take it, if you suffer from gastritis or reflux it can make you want to vomit (on the fourth day it goes away), if you have a very dirty colon you can send your body to give up for at least 7 days, no don't worry, some people are covered by so much waste, if that's your case, you take a laxativeꓼ if it didn't work, you take it by the spoonful in your already brewed coffee (coffee ole trade name of a coffee with chocolate only this es cacao) for 15 days, then return to normal cacao in hot water.
    Other people get a headache, it goes away with aspirinꓼ the pain doesn't last long, it's above the eyebrow, two fingers above. Other people, like diabetics, regulate their sugar almost immediately, don't be scared, it only happens once. He catches the asthmatic without asthma only once and controls his asthma, he does not have attacks again.
    Some people find it azurumba, don't worry, take it every other day.
    Usually those are the things for which many people leave cocoa, they don't give it a chance to heal you.
    A kilo of cocoa is enough to regulate all diseases, but if you leave it after three months, the ailments return, you must take it so that I educate you on eating and your body becomes healthy, I have been here for two years and it continues to surprise me, I am 56 years old
    I have been in field research for four years and there are many people who are being cured.
    Cocoa is obtained from southern Mexico to Bolivia. Remember, it must be fresh, you cannot commercial cocoaꓼ commercial cocoa is manipulated, try to make it pure cocoa, but not from Africa.
    I hope with all the love in the world that it helps you, with just one person recovered it was worth it and I assure you, if you take it every day for 6 months, your life will change, I promise you, there are already many people. Be constant, it's just cocoa... studio.ruclips.net/user/videoKaVp2TTwfLw/edit
