Skeletonflower - it sounds like you have a lot going on right now, sorry to hear. The only point I can chime in on is that yes, some of the Buhner herbs are hard on the liver/kidneys. I'm not sure what exactly you're taking right now, but I'm pretty sure Chinese Skullcap gave me liver damage (when I took it was the only time I had high liver enzymes) and Alchornea gives me kidney aches. I've found it helpful to google "herb name" + "hepatotoxicity" (medical name for liver toxicity) and/or "nephrotoxicity" (kidney toxicity) to see if the herb has been studied and there are known issues.
Do you think milk thistle could protect me from this?
