Can alternative therapies 'cure' my liver?
The liver, the body's largest solid organ, is responsible for detoxifying many of the potentially harmful substances that can pollute the body.
The liver also plays a critical role in many other body processes including energy production, digestion, and nutrient storage. However, lifestyle and environmental factors, especially the diet, have the ability to damage and weaken the liver.
This can sometimes be detected on blood tests, and this seems to be true for you. Fortunately, the liver has enormous capacity to regenerate itself - given the right circumstances.
The liver's capacity for healing and recovery means that simple lifestyle adjustments can be very effective in restoring health to the liver, and the body as a whole.
The cornerstone of any liver-friendly programme is a diet that makes relatively light work for this organ. The diet should contain an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Not only do these foods tend not to tax and stress the liver, they also contain an abundance of nutrients such as vitamin C and carotenoids (e.g. beta-carotene) which can support liver function. Organic produce is best as this is relatively free of potentially toxic herbicides, pesticides and fungicides.
Foods which contain a lot of either fat or protein should be downplayed in the diet, as they require quite a lot of chemical processing in the liver. The main foods to avoid are fatty meats such as beef, lamb and duck, dairy products and unhealthy hydrogenated vegetable oils present in many margarines, processed and baked foods.
Foods that contain artificial additives such as sweeteners, colourings, flavourings and preservatives should be also be minimised in the diet. I think your doctor is right to suggest that you avoid alcohol, as this is generally toxic to the liver.
However, I suggest you avoid caffeine too, as this is also known to stress the liver.
In addition to these dietary changes, you might also benefit from taking something to 'strengthen' your liver. Perhaps most widely used as a general liver tonic is the herb Milk thistle.
This herb has a traditional use that dates back more than 2000 years. The herb contains a complex of bioflavonoid molecules known collectively as silymarin.
Silymarin appears to have the ability to protect the liver cells by reducing the take-up and enhancing the removal of harmful toxins.
In practice, I have found Milk thistle to be very effective in restoring health to an ailing liver. The normal recommended dose is 200 - 400 mg of silymarin per day.
