Look up drug herb interaction studies here:
There is a wonderful book praised by an NIH researcher as being objective and thorough. Herb, Nutrient and Drug Interactions by Stargrove/Treasure/McKee printed in 2008 tells you which nutrients/herbs interact beneficially as well as non-beneficially
Milk thistle interacts with very few drugs and increases the uptake of chemo and radiation therapy for cancer patients while reducing toxicity and side effects, according to the book
Ultimately the choice is up to your doctor, stick with his/her advice. Doctors should have computerized d base interaction info.
Herbs that block toxins from entering the liver:
Milk thistle (by far the most powerful) schizandra, ginger somewhat
Herbs that detoxify the liver: There are many this is only a very partial list
Further reading: Natural Therapy for your Liver (book on AMazon by phytotherapy authority)
Best, CI ps Latin name for Milk thistle = silybum marianum if you are looking it up on the site above. Enter milk thistle to search box, but Latin name will come up. Click on Latin name and follow leads to interaction studies.
