Hello I just wanted to share this with you because I recently read that GARLIC ....fresh farlic...is the best antiobiotic and MOST effective as an antibiotic that a person could use. I have had many pain attacks which resulted from my having diviticulosis...which is very painful and what these attacks were about was that my intestines were infected...I have gone many times to the hospital and I was put on ivs full of antiobiotics and still didnt recover properly...even with all the medications and antiobiotics at the hospital and all those ivs. and I now have found a cure for these horrible attacks...I had the worst attack of my life and I got so nervous I decided to try this out so I took one small pice of fresh garlic and just simply swallowed it I waited like 3 minutes and drank a cup of warm...not hot...cup of apple cinnemon tea and I sat in a chair and I could feel this garlic going thru my whole system and I could actually hear all kinds of sounds from my stomach and I got over this severe attack within 20 minutes. It was like a miracle so now whenever I feel like I am getting sick or catching a cold or whatever...I take one small piece of garlic and I have noticed such a diff in my recoveryies I mean even if you are starting to catch a cold etc etc. So i would certainly believe that this wouyld help out your liver greatly. sincerely Maureen and good luck.....take care

What? I can't believe no one has mentioned a LIVER FLUSH!

I was floored when I first saw and learned about this. To be honest I was so shocked that I didn't personally TRY it for almost a year. Once I started to see what came out and what cleared up health wise for me...I was sold.

It's stuff you probably have in your house that you use for the flush. There are several recipes to do a liver flush. I like the Coke Liver Flush because let's be honest...it's easier to swallow (pardon the pun)! The BEST resource to learn about this is at www.curezone.com in the Liver Flush forums. People have even posted their pictures!

Good luck!

YOU can have a healthier liver. ;)

Plenty of fresh water ...
avoiding toxins in your environment drugs, pollution,pesticides ,etc etc I'm sure you know stuff to avoid

beetroot juice is a beautiful cleanser ..half half with carrot juice
Each and every morning drink the juice of half a lemon squeezed into warm water.
Yes you are right , garlic and onions are good liver support foods
Dandelion coffee is an alternative to regular coffee and has the benefit of being a liver supportive herb also

heal yourselfs suggestions are very thorough !!!

I would suggest seeing a herbalist to get a mix tailored to your personal requirements.. Sandra Cabot's book "the Liver Cleansing Diet " is a good place to find a program to follow if thats what you feel you need to do ..!!! Good Luck and god bless

Coffee enama is the quickest way to detox the liver. morning and night during a 3 day fast. 2 cups of very strong coffee made with purified water, lay on your right side for 10 minutes.

I just learned about Milk Thistle a little while ago from this site. I looked it up and it looks like it could help. I am going to get some myself.

Hi Llennell

Here are some ideas for a healthy liver.

Aromatherapy: Juniper, rosemary, and rose essential oils can all help stimulate liver function.

Detoxification: Liver function can also be impaired by a toxic bowel. For this reason, bowel cleansing and rejuvenation techniques may be very important. In severe cases, repeat the bowel cleanse once a month, or as needed, and stay on bowel nutrients for up to one year depending on the severity of your condition and your response to treatment.

Diet: Diet is extremely important in preventing and reversing all forms of liver disease, including cirrhosis. Eat a low-protein, whole foods diet of organic foods, including seeds, nuts, whole grains, beans, nuts, and goat or rice milk, and also eat plenty of leafy green vegetables. Avoid all alcohol and processed fats such as margarine, hydrogenated oils, and foods with these oils added, rancid oils, and hardened vegetable fats. Instead, use cold-processed oils such as olive. Also increase your consumption of foods high in amino acids and potassium, such as nuts, seeds, bananas, raisins, rice, wheat bran, kelp, dulse, brewer`s yeast, and molasses, and drink plenty of pure, filtered water. Avoid animal protein as well as raw or undercooked fish, and limit your overall intake of fish.

Also avoid all stressors on the liver, such as overeating, drugs of any kind, a highly processed diet (especially one high in processed fats, additives and preservatives), and foods high in animal protein, and accumulation of toxins from chemicals that have to be processed by the liver such as alcohol, drugs, acetaminophen, insecticides, and chemicals from rancid and processed oils. Toxins from Candida yeast organisms within the body can also contribute to liver stress, as can the use of contraceptives.

Herbs: Milk thistle is an excellent herb to help in the treatment of cirrhosis because it helps liver cells regenerate. It may be taken in the form of tablets or the non-alcohol extract called a glycerate. The dose is based upon the content of silymarin (the active ingredient of milk thistle) and so standardized extracts are preferable. The typical dosage range is 70-200 mg of silymarin daily. The herb Picrorhiza kurroa is not as well-known as milk thistle, but may have similar effects. Licorice can also be helpful. The Chinese herb bupleurum (chai-hu) may also be helpful, as can the herbal mixture of kutki (200 mg), shanka pushpi (500 mg), and guduchi (300 mg), with is used by practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine to boost liver function. Take 1/4 teaspoon of this mixture taken twice a day, after lunch and dinner, with aloe vera juice.

Best of health to you

Benefit of Milk Thistle for Liver Disease

* Sixteen prospective trials were identified. Fourteen were randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled studies of milk thistle's effectiveness in a variety of liver diseases. In one additional placebo-controlled trial, blinding or randomization was not clear, and one placebo-controlled study was a cohort study with a placebo comparison group.
* Seventeen additional trials used nonplacebo controls; two other trials studied milk thistle as prophylaxis in patients with no known liver disease who were starting potentially hepatotoxic drugs. The identified studies addressed alcohol-related liver disease, toxin-induced liver disease, and viral liver disease. No studies were found that evaluated milk thistle for cholestatic liver disease or primary hepatic malignancy (hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma).
* There were problems in assessing the evidence because of incomplete information about multiple methodologic issues, including etiology and severity of liver disease, study design, subject characteristics, and potential confounders. It is difficult to say if the lack of information reflects poor scientific quality of study methods or poor reporting quality or both.
* Detailed data evaluation and syntheses were limited to the 16 placebo-controlled studies. Distribution of durations of therapy across trials was wide (7 days to 2 years), inconsistent, and sometimes not given. Eleven studies used Legalon®, and eight of those used the same dose. Outcome measures varied among studies, as did duration of therapy and the followup for which outcome measures were reported.
* Among six studies of milk thistle and chronic alcoholic liver disease, four reported significant improvement in at least one measurement of liver function (i.e., aminotransferases, albumin, and/or malondialdehyde) or histologic findings with milk thistle compared with placebo, but also reported no difference between groups for other outcome measures.
* Available data were insufficient to sort six studies into specific etiologic categories; these were grouped as chronic liver disease of mixed etiologies. In three of the six studies that reported multiple outcome measures, at least one outcome measure improved significantly with milk thistle compared with placebo, but there were no differences between milk thistle and placebo for one or more of the other outcome measures in each study. Two studies indicated a possible survival benefit.
* Three placebo-controlled studies evaluated milk thistle for viral hepatitis. The one acute viral hepatitis study reported latest outcome measures at 28 days and showed significant improvement in aspartate aminotransferase and bilirubin. The two studies of chronic viral hepatitis differed markedly in duration of therapy (7 days and 1 year). The shorter study showed improvement in aminotransferases for milk thistle compared with placebo but not other laboratory measures. In the longer study, milk thistle was associated with a nonsignificant trend toward histologic improvement, the only outcome measure reported.
* Two trials included patients with alcoholic or nonalcoholic cirrhosis. The milk thistle arms showed a trend toward improved survival in one trial and significantly improved survival for subgroups with alcoholic cirrhosis or Child's Group A severity. The second study reported no significant improvement in laboratory measures and survival for other clinical subgroups, but no data were given.
* Two trials specifically studied patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. Duration of therapy was unclear in the first, which reported no improvement in laboratory measures of liver function, hepatomegaly, jaundice, ascites, or survival. However, there were nonsignificant trends favoring milk thistle in incidence of encephalopathy and gastrointestinal bleeding and in survival for subjects with concomitant hepatitis C. The second study, after treatment for 30 days, reported significant improvements in aminotransferases but not bilirubin for milk thistle compared with placebo.
* Three trials evaluated milk thistle in the setting of hepatotoxic drugs: one for therapeutic use and two for prophylaxis with milk thistle. Results were mixed among the three trials.
* Exploratory meta-analyses generally showed positive but small and nonsignificant effect sizes and a sprinkling of significant positive effects.
* No studies were identified regarding milk thistle and cholestatic liver disease or primary hepatic malignancy.
* Available evidence does not establish whether effectiveness of milk thistle varies across preparations. One Phase II trial suggested that effectiveness may vary with dose of milk thistle.
