Hi all,
Not trying to stir the pot again. Here's something that just happened to me 2 days ago. I started going back to take a few of my homeopathy/ herbal supplements having stopped taking it for about 6 months. There is one particular one called Liva Tone Plus. This supplement has multi B vitamins, C , E , among other things like St Mary's Thistle, etc. The idea is to give the liver a helping hand since I'm drug dependant, my liver is usually on overtime trying to breakdown all the drugs I take.
Backup 6 months ago. I was dx with gallstone, and the pain was so bad that I stopped taking all my supplements. Anyway, the gallbladder is scheduled to be removed in July. I never thought my abdominal pain or gallstone had anything to do with my supplements. It was just a coincident that I came off it among with other supplements that I was taking including multi B, D, Mg.
Six months has gone, and I've been feeling a lot better, there hasn't been much attack on my liver/ gallbladder. My FMS condition is nicely managed. Pain level are acceptable, so I decided to slowly introduce all the supplements I was having previously. Multi B was the first to be introduced, it went ok. Mg was next... no problem here. Then on Sunday, I started Liva tone plus. By Wednesday night, I was having a massive pain on my abdominal area. On Thursday, I went and got a blood test. My GGT from my liver function test went from usual 160U/L (which is already high by acceptable level) to 1209 U/L, just for your reference acceptable rance is 0-60U/L.
My point here is beware of what you take, some homeopathy stuff can be quite potent, as I've recently found out. Am definately thinking twice now whether to believe naturalpathy or just go with modern medicine.
