Hi all,

I'm on my second round of Meprom/Zithromax, plus IV Rocephin. Does the Meprom cause yellow skin? I can see it in my face, but the whites of my eyes are not yellow as they are in true jaundice.

Does anyone have any liver support tips? I'm afraid to do a "flush" right now, but am starting Dr. Klinghardt's freeze dried garlic and am considering caster oil packs.

If you think your skin is yellow, I really think you should call your doctor.

liver support , Milk thistle herb is a really good liver detox, but with yellowed skin its imporatnt to go to your dr right away as its s ymptom of the liver not functioning well.

the milk thistle will help liver function it can work pretty quickly if you take 4 capsules three times a day for a week you should get some results with it,
but i would also stay on the milk thistle as long as you take antibiotics , though you can , after the intitial week then only take two per dose
other liver cleansers include yellow dock, sweet woodsruff( hard to find), burdock root, dandelion is both a diuretic and liver flush ,

all of these you want to drink lots and lots of water to help the detox process in the body

try drinking a gallon of water a day and remeber to call your dr

Thanks to all that have responded.

The blood tests for liver enzymes were all ok. My eyes are not yellow, which is indicated in jaundice. Do I think my liver is stressed? Of course, which is why I'm ramping up the milk thistle.

How recently was the liver function test? Was your skin yellow when you had it done?
