V is right about his take on stomach acid (HCL), and you aren't wrong with your observations about MH and HCL. No one is perfect. Just as ML has some wrong ideas/concepts on health, so does MH. I suffered from a "turned off" pituitary glad for my whole life. I had almost non-existent testosterone, HCL and l-arginine production, among other things. I was able to bring them up to normal levels through homeopathics, which took over a year. Before my treatment I needed to take 5 HCL pills to replicate what my body should have been producing normally. I talked to MH about this and he told me in essence that stomach acid was evil (and that is a big paraphrase). He is dead wrong. V nailed it perfectly in regards to HCL. If you aren't producing enough HCL you are f*cked. No way around it. No one is perfect, and that includes people dispensing health advice. As my AK told me, take everything with a grain of salt (and he even meant the advice he was giving me).
