My liver enzymes 2.5 weeks ago when I stopped all abx were 250, 5 days ago were 648, 3 days ago were 738, will retest Tuesday but am scared to death of liver failure. Any similar stories who ended up surviving, or words of encouragement?
Thanks, Eyal

The liver is the major "detox" organ of the body. It stores positive charges...glycogen and Mg to counter the negative charges (acids, toxins)that are released from the destruction of the cell walls of the keet. This is one "toxic" pathogen!!!
There are other "detox" things that can help support. Mg is one. The amino acids are another (to supply the nutrients to make glutathione). The B vitamins can help and believe it or not...the probiotics.
Milk thistle is recommended too.
Drinking lots of water will help pull the toxins out via the kidneys.
Saunas will help eliminate the toxins via the skin.
Epsom salt baths for 25 minutes (use a full 4# bag)with a 1# box of baking soda may help.
Activated charcoal (GNC)...follow the bottle directions... may help.
Lymph massage.
See the article on detoxing in the June issue of the magazine, Alternative Medicine. It's on page 55.
Discuss the above with your doctor.

have not heard of hepatitis from abx, but the firts response is an excellent one. milk thistle especially. I have been on abx for ten years and my liver enzymes have never been high. they should be I drank like a fish for 20 years. I also take b vit by IV, or IM, I take a vit cocktail IV once a week, I take oral and IV and IM abx, and have for years. I take a lot of supplements, drink a lot of water and decaff tea.... try those things and yes talk with your docotr by all means

Yep. Mom's LLMD called it "chemical hepatitis". She had to stop all abx and do liver support stuff.
It passed without incident and all was well. Numbers came back down.
Not to worry - the liver has amazing regenerative powers if you take care of it, it will recover.
At least you caught it! Imagine if you hadn't...
Take care.

Thanks for the replies!
Yes, my LLMD and gastro. MD are informed. Dr. H doesn't seem worried, my gastro (and other consulting dr's) is worried.
