Dr. Fobi:
The stomach is like the vagina in a woman. When she uses it, it works. She can go for ten years without using it, it is still there and then she can come back and start using it and with a couple of uses, it comes back to you normal. So it’s a reservoir, it’s similar to the reservoir of the vagina. It has the same type of organs, the same type of mucosa. It works as long as you use it. If you don’t use it, it does not completely shrivel away, it just decreases its amount of secretion.
