Liver Detox - Do you know of a good one?

Question

Would anyone know of a good Liver Detox or Cleanse that you would recommend. I have been surfing the web and have gone to my Natural Food store and they have some but I really want to hear from someone that has actually completed a cleanse and how you felt during and afterwords.

BTW - I have a bad liver due to a birth defect of my GI track and I keep getting Cholangitis which is a Liver infection in the Bile ducts. Oh and I have had a Whipple procedure done in '01 which removed the function in my Common Bile duct to keep bacteria from entering from the small intestine.. gross huh.

Anyway I am going all Natural, Organic, no perfumes, no drinking etc. and want to detox my liver at least twice a year.

Any suggestions??

Answer 1

Milk Thistle is a great liver detox.

Oral anabolic steroids are liver toxic and milk thistle is a great way to keep the liver in good order.

This link is for 200mg tablets, but I use 1000mg tabs. No side effects at all.

Liv.52 is another good option too.

Answer 2

You don't need to detox your liver, it will look after itself.

If you have a congenital liver defect, you especially don't want to use any herbal remedies or over the counter medication or prescription medication without the approval of a doctor who is familiar with you and your liver probems.

Many meds and herbs are metabolized in the liver and can cause problems for a liver that is not functioning fully.  The experiences of others, who have healthy livers, may not be the same as your experience.
