HCL SENSITIVITY TEST (AKA THE APPLE CIDER TEST)

(Determines presence of ulcers and whether HCL or gut healing is needed)

1. Mix 2 tablespoons of organic, raw apple cider vinegar in 4 ounces of water.

2. Drink before a meal (on an empty stomach).

3. If this causes any uncomfortable burning, do not use HCL yet!

4. If it does not cause burning, HCL supplementation can be used. Begin with one tablet or capsule of HCL per meal, then 2 per meal and so on. This should improve digestion. You may wish to increase the dosage to 3 per meal if there is still some indigestion. Your practitioner will instruct you which product to start with and how to find your bio-individual dose to take at the END or AFTER each meal.

5. HCL should always be used when traveling abroad to reduce the risk of parasites and food poisoning. Even eating a salad in Central and South American can induce diarrhea.

• NOTE: Start with 1 tablet of HCL at the end of the meal. If it does not cause burning, increase the dosage to 2 with each meal and so on. HCL aids in protein digestion, reduces foul gas and bloating, reduces constipation, helps in the prevention of parasites and improves overall digestion.

• NOTE: Ulcers generally cause burning when the stomach is empty, because the stomach acids have easy access to the lesions in the stomach lining. Eating will usually relieve the pain. If the apple cider vinegar causes burning, this indicates the presence of ulcers.

• Poor sleep can lead to ulcers, irritable bowel disorders, ulcerative colitis, etc., because the stomach lining, which generally heals each night during stage 4 (REM) sleep, is not rebuilding properly. Talk to your practitioner if sleeping issues are present.

• Ulcers-Gut healing nutrients taken on an empty stomach can assist greatly in the healing of the stomach lining. Pure chlorophyll, is Mother Nature’s finest healer of epithelial tissues.
