A dear friend of mine had to stop meds due to elevated liver enzymes.

Any suggestions of how to do it naturally?

Thanks in advance. [Razz]

My daughters enzymes were 16x normal from taking mepron and biaxin.. She was very close to liver failure. It happened within 3 weeks of her last normal lab. it was the tipping point of her stopping all abx. She used only natural remedies to bring them back to.normal within 2 months. Among the things she used were: milk thistle. Dandelion root tea, fresh ginger tea with turmeric, pekana detox kit, wellness juice which consisted of beet root, dandelion and burdock root..

Youre welcome.. [Smile] just remind her to take it slow not too much all at once.. The dandelion tea was very beneficial and she drank that at least twice everyday.

I have had TONS of liver enzyme problems. IV glutathione pushes help, along with the following supplements: Hepa #2, Liver Protect, and ALAmaxCR.

Hope they go down!

I agree, glutathione IV's helped me tremendously with keeping the enzymes down. I think some of my elevations were due to Bart because Rifampin (which is notoriously hard on the liver) lowered my enzymes into a normal range and kept it there almost immediately.

I also like NAC, ALA and liver detox teas.

If you add milk thistle and alpha lipoic acid to your supplements, it should do the trick.

My liver #s got elevated at one point. One of my docs recommended eating lots of green vegetables. I did, and it worked. My #s were not that high but this brought them down without me stopping the meds.

Green veggies are good for you anyways so it's worth a try!

Milk thistle always gets mine back in check right away. As long as I take it twice daily, they never go up. I am on a LOT of meds and have been for 8 years and I love me some milk thistle!
