I have stopped all of my antibiotics for over a week now due to my liver enzymes being elevated and just went for new bloodwork which shows that they doubled again. I am taking 4 capsules of milk thistle and IV glutathione along with NAC.
I am confused and don't know what to make of this. My ALT is almost 5x what it should be. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am so sick of living with this.

Are you taking any other meds? -- many pain meds for example would impact the liver.
Also have you been diagnosed with Babesia or any other coinfections?

Diflucan and some stomach meds like Axid can cause elevated liver enzymes.
If you are on pain meds, make sure there is no acetaminophen in it.

My levels went higher after going off abx. I took the standard milk thistle for 2 months. After approx 2 months, they went back to normal. My LLMD told me it may take a couple of months. Good luck and have patience

Drink fresh juice throughout the day, is my recommendation. Carrot/apple, greens, etc.. all very helpful in general, especially for liver health.
If problems persist, investigate coffee enemas, as many people on here can vouch for.

That happened to me...I was fine for 2 years on meds, went off and they became elevated. Came back down after a month. I think it was leftover detox

I am only taking blood pressure medicine and Elavil for sleep but I don't think this could do it. I was also taking cumanda and samento but no other drug. I hope they go down because they are almost 5x greater than they should be.
