Liver Detox

The liver is one of the body's main cleansing organs.

As we attack Lyme and Co's, much "toxic debris" is created when the bacteria/protozoa die...and much of that toxic debris gets filtered through the liver.

Since treatment often takes many months (or longer), it makes sense to take things to support the liver and keep it clean.

I haven't done a liver detox specifically (my PCP checks my liver function as part of my monthly thyroid followup and my liver numbers have always been good).

However, per the advice of many ILADS LLMD's and my own, I take milk thistle to support my liver.

Milk thistle is a very good herb to use to protect and support the liver, but there are a few that are allergic to rag weed and so allergic to milk thistle (like me! It's in the same family of plants), so I had to use a liver/gall bladder flush that my doc taught me to use that is all natural and that I still used at least twice a year still.

If anyone wishes to see what it is, just let me know - it's helped keep my liver going strong for several years now.

I think glutathione is a great supplement for liver detox. It's one of the few supplements that I feel is noticeably beneficial for me. Haven't had issues w/ liver enzymes either when I was taking abx.
