Question about the hydrochloric acid reseeding

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Beyond the Sidewalks : One Thread

Earthmama I have a question about the HCl reseeding procedure you posted a couple of weeks ago. I understand that you step up one pill per meal per day until you get the warm tummy feeling. Then when you step down one pill per meal per day when do you stop? Do you go back down to zero or do you stop when you lose the warm tummy feeling? If you lose the warm tummy before zero pills does that mean you have to take that number of pills each day from then on? Does any of this make any sense?

OK, now I have the Righteous Brothers stuck in my head You've lost that warm tummy feeling, ohhh that warm tummy feeling.

LOL, I had the hardest time trying to explain this without it sounding amusingly confusing !! Guess I still need to work on it ! :)

Let me try to construct a scenario, and see if that helps.

Day 1: 1 cap with each meal --if tummy feels warm after taking one cap, you dont need HCL reseeding, so dont take any more. (this is highly unlikely, but certaily possible)

Day 2: 2 caps with each meal --if tummy feels warm after taking two caps, next meal take only one cap, and continue taking one cap with each meal until tummy feels warm, at which time don't take any more.

Day 3: (you've had no reaction to 2 caps) 3 caps with each meal --if tummy feels warm after taking 3 caps, next meal take 2 caps, and continue taking 2 caps with each meal until tummy feels warm, at which time take one cap with each meal, until tummy feels warm after one cap, then don't take any more.

Continue this upward procedure up to 10 capsules (apparently any more than 10 is too much acid) until your stomach has a warm reaction; that is your signal to decrease amount, and your tummy will tell you what you need to know. Some people, especially those over 50ish, may need to take 10 caps per meal for many days; some folks' tummies will tell them they need only 5 caps for several days, or 3 caps for a couple days will be some people's high point. Some people will need one cap with each meal for the rest of their lives cuz they just don't produce enough acid naturally anymore. Everybody will have a unique reaction.

Izzat any clearer ? I always strive to be clear as mud ;)

Oh, and remember if your tummy feels not just warm but uncomfortable, take a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water to sooth it.

And the product is called Betain Hydrochoride.

OK, I think I get it now. I won't be trying this just yet but I'll print this out for future reference. Thanks!

Well that is certainly interesting. I never knew there was such a thing.
