Just got my ALT back, it is now 120. I've been on ABX and other herbals for 2 months. How do I know which is causing my ALT to jump up so much? Doesn't seem safe...

Thats a tough one, what antibiotics are you on?

Are you on any liver supportive supplements like milk thistle, dandelion, liver detox teas?

Some antibiotics are more prone to causing issues then others. Many antibiotics are metabolised through the kidneys so those antibiotics are an option.

I have a question--what is ALT?
Posted 4/1/2014 4:19 PM (GMT 0)
I'm on mepron, bactrim ds, and azithromycin. Also currently taking liver detox pills, and drinking plenty of water. Also taking Dr. Jernigan's protocol, green vibrance, vitamin water c, lumbrokinase, artemisinin, glutathione, nt factor energy, probiotics, olive leaf extract, and l - lysine.

ALT is an enzyme that measures how well the liver is managing and removing toxins from the body. If it's high it means it's not doing a good job. Cut off is 40 I think.

Well I would argue that the most probable cause is the artemisinin, and the mepron. Are you pulsing the artemesia?

What does the dr think and how long have you been on this regimen?

Doctor is not too concerned ugh. ... He wants me to stop mepron and see if this helps.
