Chocolate

[Guest guest]

>>> Got a question I have taken my daughter off dairy, but I am a

bit confused. Does that include chocolate? I know they said

allergies to cows milk, and cheddar, and swiss cheese help narrow it

down for me.

If you are eliminating all dairy, that would include chocolate milk.

But as for chocolate candy or chocolate bars, it would depend on the

product. Milk chocolate usually contains milk (if it is real milk

chocolate). But dark chocolates usually do not. So check the label.

Cocoa does not contain milk if you want to cook with that.

were you giving him milk chocolate? I found that when I gave my son Dairy

free/Gluten free brownies, they contained sugar or high fructose corn syrup. He

was so aggressive after eating these. So when you talk about taking away

chocolate - it might be the dairy or the sugar....

I now give my son dairy free/sugar free cookies and he seems to have no

problem with these. There are two brands that I buy.

1) ph's sugar free cookies taste great (not gluten free)

2) The Smarter Carb - they have chocolate dipped biscotti that are

sugar/dairy/fat/and gluten free

Our son gets a red blotchy face after eating chocolate. If he eats a

lot of it he will have bad behaviors for about a week afterwards.

> Hi Guys~~

> It seems we've finally taken Kristian off of chocolate completely

about 3 weeks ago and I'm telling you, we've seen quite a

difference. His behaviors are AMAZINGLY improved, NO tantruming in 2

1/2 weeks (a record in our house), plus...a BIG plus...sentences,

he's been talking in several complete sentences daily!! Before this,

he would use need based one to two word explanations. He told me

today he wanted " to go to Mother Earth to get some brownies " (guess

that chocolate craving takes awhile to diminish). Just wondering if

any of you have seen the same results?

Are all you folks referring to chocolate in any form-- like cocoa?? We

obviously don't eat milk chocolate but I do buy the chocolate Dari-Free and

use unsweetened cocoa powder in recipes. Another new ingredient for me to

eliminate........??

Do you think its actual chocolate causing problems or high sugar

content often associated with chocolaty stuff?

Groan......I'm sooo tired of food issues. Can't I just put my son on

an IV? (being sarcastic, its late)

Thanks Helene and no, no milk chocolate, usually dark chocolate, etc. Thanks

for the tip on cookies. I'll check them out.

You could definitely add a sweetener to this and make it more palatable.

If it's milk chocolate, consider the dairy. In any case consider the caffeine.

How does it affect him? Depends upon the chocolate it may be the added sugar?

Chocolate has argnine, an amino acid which can aid in the application of

viruses!

Just an idea....

Chocolate can increase dopamine levels, and I've seen it induce agressive

behavior where testosterone levels were already normal and high. For me,

eating chocolate used to be like a mild version of taking ritalin or adderol

(which I no longer needed after mercury chelation). It calmed my mind, but

made me feel cocky and agressive. Here is some info about chocolate.

Cheers,

The cocoa bean is about 31% fat, 14% carbohydrate and 9% protein, rich in

the amino acids tryptophan, phenylatanine, and tyrosine that are

norepinephrine and dopamine precursors. The 400 chemicals that have been

identified in the cocoa bean include: polyphenols (6%) including pyrazines,

quinoxolines, oxazolines, pyrroles (tannins), pyridines, and the fiavonol

proanthocyanidin; the amphetamine-like phenylethylamine; the methylxanthines

theobromine (2%) and caffeine (1%); and 2% salts and 1% acids. The

polyphenols explain why chocolate does not become rancid without

refrigeration, despite its high fat content. Similar chemicals are found in

red wine, grapes, tea, onions, apples, and citrus fruits

Chocolate is high amine. I have amine links in the middle of this page

In Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD by Dr. Shaw, an anti-

candida diet by Bruce Semon cuts chocolate in the first stage.

According to him, chocolate is dried with fungus and also contains a

chemical similar to a yeast metabolite.

Something else to consider:)

Chocolate contains theobromine, another xanthine similar to the ones found in

coffee. Chocolate sometimes contains coffee.

What kind of behaviors are you seeing? Hyper- kind of behavior or

allergic/vomitting kind of behavior?

People who love chocolate are often copper imbalanced. I have to

take molybdenum and zinc to help balance by " chocolate " issue.

Above all find him organic chocolate..it might be lower in aluminum.

that people who suffer from Alzheimer's are encouraged to stay away

Try a tablet of Alka-Aid. It's a dry tab so a little hard to swallow.

I used to chop it up and stuff it in an empty capsule.

If your son doesn't swallow capsules, he could drink some Alka-Seltzer

Gold. (It has to be the Gold kind.)

Thank you very much, what does this do for the child? I'm curious, I have never

It is high amine, which for some kids has a similar reaction as high

Sometimes No-Fenol helps, other times not.

The only advantage of dark chocolate is as a source of Magnesium which many people are deficient in. see www.mgwater.com

Other food sources high in Magnesium are millet and kale.

Hope this helps, mjhStart the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Chocolate/cocoa also contain important polyphenols. mjh
