My cholesterol is high, liver enzymes high, estrogen high, low thyroid, weight going up...all the signs that my liver is sluggish. My LLMD has me on Liver GI Detox by Pure Encapsulations and has prescribed castor oil packs nightly, and up to 2 coffee enemas a week. Is there anything more I can do? I already eat really healthy. It seems like such a hard thing to fix. Especially when I have no idea how the hell it got so messed up.

For Lyme/co-infections I am on Alinia (parasites) and going on Albendazole and mimosa pudica soon (also for parasites). That is all I am doing to treat right now.

how long have you had the liver issues?

When my liver enzymes climbed, my LLND had me stop all treatment until they normalized.

What were you on - ie medications when the liver issues started?

Forgot to mention - my LLND had me switch from milk thistle extract to Pekana Apo-hepat.

My liver enzymes normalized after a few months.

You have some other issues though. ( high cholesterol ...)

Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs, as I'm sure you'll have read up tonnes about the best foods and herbs to be consuming, but here's some key ones if you aren't already incorporating:

Liver(!), beetroot, chia seeds (soaked so they become gelatinous), aloe vera, apple cider vinegar, green tea, lemon juice, leafy greens, cucmber, EV olive oil, turmeric, coffee (if tolerated), Dandelion, burdock, milk thistle, and lots of filtered water.

r-ALA and NAC brought my values down.

Liver detoxing can be more difficult for some people. Sometimes its genetic, there are quite a few genetic deficiencies related to liver phase I and II pathways. You might have this.

I have some of these genes and the regular liver detoxers did nothing for me.

The only thing I found that worked noticeably was D-Limonene.

I used Jarrow 1000mg gel; tabs one each evening, , it even states for liver on the bottle $10 for 60. Try it. Your LLMD prob wont know what this is..

@Girlie I don't know how long but I wasn't on any medications prior to this. They started out of nowhere. I really need to be treating right now because my health is declining a lot.

@ceebs: I do take a liver supplement (beef liver) but I can't tolerate eating it (not due to flavor just histamine reaction) and I've heard that's best for your liver, as like treats like, but I haven't noticed much after being on it a few weeks.

@acarined I have those two in my supplement so hopefully that will help

@astroman I've never heard of that, I'll write it down, thanks. I've gone thru liver detox cleanse things before and they just seemed to go right through me as well.
