The source of this gentleman's problem is actually the liver/gallbladder. He isn't emulsifying fat properly. Therefore, this was only one component of the treatment. It was recommended that he take 9 tabs a day (3 morn,3 lunch,3 evening). If the theory on this product is correct, one would think that this treatment would not only be effective but also less strenuous than other protocols. Unfortunately, I have found little to no research on this product. I was hoping to spark some interest on curezone but it doesn't look like that is the case (ha,ha).
