answer:Yes, for about six months on advice of a nutritionist. A waste of money for me, but it never hurts to try. It’s pretty benign, in any case. (Aside: The nutritionist, after his wife left him and took their young daughter with her, put on 50 lbs. really fast. He was found, crumpled over a picnic table in his back yard, dead at 36 from a heart attack.)
