HI BEEFSTEAK:I don't think that the enzyme supplement(s) described are either a cure nor a hoax, "Bones".Some people who exhibit the symptoms of lost oral tolerance (ie: you get diarrheic-involved so called "IBS") can and will benefit from a supplement profile like this as one of the causal basis of lost oral tolerance can be inadequate digestive enzyme availability (I'll skip the technicalities of how this can happen, but it can be a problem for some people).Since you do not need to mortgage your house to try it, and if one has trouble with diarrheic-type IBS esp. with gas and bloating et al this may be worth a shot. Especially since you can hold them to this, posted on the order page: _____________________________________"Try Nu-Zymes™ for 30 days. If you are not completely satisfied with the results, return the unused portion for a full product refund. " ______________________________________Anyway....will help some, not others.MNL
