Debbie's Xocai Story

A few years ago, a fell down three steps on black ice and landed on cement. The pain it caused in my lower back was excruciating. I had never experienced chronic pain like that in my life, and couldn’t believe that someone could live through that kind of pain.

I had compressed (bulged) two discs in my lower back, with arthritis in the three vertebras around those discs. I had fractures all over in the sacrum and sacroiliac joints. There was tremendous nerve damage, so much that to even touch the skin on my lower back, it felt like thousands of hot burning needles.

Surgery was not an option, so we spent over thousands of dollars trying all kinds of therapies, treatments, alternative therapies, decompression, sacral cranial therapy, etc. with no relief. When I would go to physical therapy, the tears would just flow continuously from the pain, and I couldn’t even get through five minutes of the simplest moves. I felt like my life was over. We have five boys, and it was a struggle to even make it through the day to be there for them. I was pretty much living in bed, because the pain was increased immensely the longer I stood, and I couldn’t sit without feeling like I was going to die.

After almost 2 ½ years of living life like this, a dear family friend introduce me to a Xocai healthy chocolate. My first response was that I couldn’t eat chocolate because I’m allergic to caffeine and the sugars that are in chocolate. She said I could eat this chocolate, because there is no caffeine in it, and no added sugars. I learned so much that day; one thing being that Xocai cocoa is an anti-inflammatory. So I decided to try it for awhile. There was nothing to lose.

After about 2-3 weeks of eating Xocai, the inflammation in my back decreased significantly and I was able to start moving around easier. I went back to physical therapy and learned how to strengthen my back. The nerves began to repair and heal. Now I do core exercises and walk every day. I eat a Xocai protein bar for breakfast, and generally 4-5 pieces of Xocai chocolate throughout the day.

My husband will tell you that after spending $6,000-7,000 on treatments, we were elated to spend $100 on a box of Xocai chocolate and have that be the thing that finally worked – Yeah! And it’s chocolate! The most craved food in the world!

I’m so grateful to the founder, Jeanette Brooks, for making it her life mission to develop a truly healthy chocolate (patented cold-pressed process, with no processed sugars, fats, waxes, fillers, preservatives or caffeine)! It’s so great to be able to eat chocolate again, and I am a firm believer that it helps with so many of our health problems - like chronic pain, inflammation, heart disease, lowers blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes (helps stabilize insulin), and many more.
