That's definitely part of it - no doubt, but I felt like I was digesting
food better and able to maintain my weight much easier. Before the cleanse
it was a struggle just to maintain despite paleo (with an occasional slip)
and exercising 5 to 6 days a week. I will say that starting to supplement
with HCl after the second cleanse made the biggest difference. Now the trick
is figuring out WHY my stomach is not producing any/enough acid to digest
food properly. I am scheduled for an endoscopy but since it is being done by
a conventional thinking gastroenterologist (who had never heard of HCl and
was suggesting Zelnorm and Nexium - OY), I am not sure it will do much good
other than finding out if I have H Pylori or cancer. Not that those aren't
important things to determine, but any treatment he recommends will be drugs
which I am not about to take. Sorry - I am getting too much off topic.
