My liver keeps getting unexplainable worse. My LLMD is running a bunch of tests for viruses that affect the liver.
Has anybody here ever had a microbe (from a tick bite) which caused liver function to suffer?
Thanks.
(BTW I'm already doing every possible therapy for helping the liver, including the coffee enemas, castor oil packs, and the common supplements.)

Parasites can affect the liver. When I started anti-parasitic meds my liver swelled up so much I could hardly walk. There is one called a liver fluke but I'm sure there are others that can affect the liver. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_fluke
Many of us are infected with worms due to lowered immune system and there may be a filarial worm passed from ticks. I don't know if the filarial worms affect the liver though.

Wanted to say the same as Terry,liver flukes can block your liver totally and also your bile ducts. Dr. K recommends biltricide.
When the liver is covered with them the liver cannot do any work. A two day treatment. Then you also can detox. You need no extra detox help, you have an organ for detox.

I just found out last night that my liver enzymes jumped back down to normal on the last test. This is after being elevated for a few months and constantly getting worse.
I cut out some natural supplements recently, and I wonder if that's the reason why my enzymes went down.
Lymetoo - thanks for the note about the antibiotics. Do you think doxycycline alone could raise enzymes? Has anybody seem this happen with doxy?
I'm still taking doxy now, so if that was the main cause, I would imagine the enzymes would still be elevated. I'm just trying to learn if it might have had an effect.

Lymetoo - yes, I've been constantly taking milk thistle. Isn't that supposed to be good for the liver? Does it harm the liver in any way?

what do you take for yeast nystantin or diflucan ?
when I take diflucan it raises my liver enzymes and my llmd said im the third patient of his this has happened to ?
alpha lipoic acid is another good tool for cleansing the liver it actually helps the liver regenerate itself !

Babesia , Bart was messing up with my liver but so did with my husband that came somehow positive for HEP B ( somebody had the same thing here in lyme net and I think Borrelia woke it up and he had liver enzymes high ), I have had pain in the liver but never had enzymes high but I know I had Co infections and parasites and only treatment and Liver flushes with parasite cleansings helped me.
By the way babs messed me up preatty good.I never got a pozitive test on babs but my son was lucky to get a pozitive on Microti and I got the pozitive cdc pozitive I mean in lyme and NEURO band 30 had +++ ( suggest is mucoplasma fermentas that matches the muscle testing and homepathic formula as pozitive for mucoplasma fermentas).Had it for 20 years since I got the first tingling and numbness with high fever .
