I am away from home right now in another town having a bunch of tests done to find out whats wrong with me. I just found out my liver is doubled in size and looks really bad! I am not a drinker and never have been! Now my question, anyone out there had any problems with their liver that they used holistic medicine for and if so what was the compound you used and why did you take it. I really hate pounding my body with alll these medicines so I am trying to limit it to only the necessary!! They are sending me for more tests today and I will have more news , but I know there are alot of asian people in the forum and it is more widely practiced over there. I really believe in the eastern medicine (homeopathic/alternative) as I have used it in the past to get results when doctors couldn't So if you have something to share please do. Thanks Mr Crow
Milk thistle (silymarin) is very good at supporting the liver, there is a little bit of info about milk thistle on my site at http://www.newbeingnutrition.com/vitamins/milk_thistle.htm Other supplements and herbs which may help you are Cynara artichoke, dandelion root, liquorice the antioxidant vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, selenium, grapeseed and pine bark extracts.

Mr Crow, Just make sure the alternative medicine has had no divination placed upon it. There are plenty of alternative medicines out there, but you would not want any other stuff going on in your body that could make things worse for you. I hope things work out for you. My sister has been through a double mastectomy last year and my father died two weeks ago from melanoma. I feel for you and certainly hope things pick up for you. Col
I can tell you it is all I can do right now... going between each test ... I worry all week until I go for the test , then I worry for the next week waiting for the results. So I have to have some way to dump the worry... I dump it over to the Father because it will make me goofier than I already am. We are doing swimming as a family and it seems to help take the swelling down. I am looking into some herbal remedies for the liver and I will try one of them if they apply to my situation. I just know the body is a wonderful creation that can heal itself and I will give it all the help I can... just new to all this!
