It is purchased less than one month ago and used only a handful of times. My production needs outgrew it really fast. I can ship to New Zealand provided you pay for…"
Jonathan Simpkins replied to Kat's discussion Fermented cacao beans-bar"it seems like some of you guys have gotten into this argument before and are sounding defensive about whether or not chocolate is healthy. just to be clear, I want to say that my experience is that chocolate which is made from organic,…"
Jonathan Simpkins replied to Kat's discussion Fermented cacao beans-bar"What is that gob of yellow slimey mass they lipo out of peoples bodies? Is that fat? No. It is blocking the lymphatic system from drainage, it is not stored in lymph nodes. I recommend you read Parasite Rex and humble…"
