I just got a notice that ProHealth is having an end-of-year sale. One of the items on sale is their liver detox herbs (Liver Detox & Regeneration).

How do you know if your liver needs detoxification? Has anyone taken this supplement?

I don't know about Prohealth's product. I do know that the cfs specialist Dr. Cheney recommends Milk Thistle (sylimarin) for liver support. I think ProH. sells that too.

If you take meds, it is a good idea to take something to support/detox your liver. I do cause I take a lot of meds and have for years.

Hi Spacee,

How do you take the milk thistle? Sounds crazy but I got some but I'm not sure when to take it. I have FM and take tramadol 2 tabs ev. 4-6 hrs, usually 3 times during the day and take Cymbalta 30 mg, Soma and flexeril in the evening.

I don't know when to take it, I guess I should take it away from the meds but don't know for sure. I'd appreciate any suggestions?

Thanks.

twice a day. One in the AM and one in the PM. I don't know about Prohealth's supplements as I have tried them yet. I got my Milk Thistle from Whole Foods.

I noticed that taking the Milk Thistle helps for the cleaning out the bowels as well as a great support from the meds that I take.

Take Milk Thistle at least two hours from your meds, before and after.

Take care... :-)

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll start it tonight.

Hi,
Anyone taking meds needs to detox. If you live in a high pollution area, city, you need to detox. If you use alcohol you need to detox. If your exposed to heavy metals you need to detox. I could keep going but I'm sure you get the idea.

Take care,

Taking in pm with meds. Will take it at dinner.

Also liver detox is needed for a fatty liver which is cause by our American Diet.
But I think the total diet needs to be changed too. Fresh fruit and veggies every meal.

Googling Fatty Liver Diet gives info.
