Preventive Strategies in Chronic Liver Disease – (11-08-01)



Preventive Strategies in Chronic Liver Disease

This is a review article that touches on the superficial ways to address improper liver function. Of interesting note is the long list of very common drugs that are hepatotoxic. We need to start viewing pharmaceutical drugs for what they are–toxic substances that, while having limited beneficial effects, can have a broad range of side effects that can be worse than the condition originally treated. Although the list of herbs in this same category is also long, the herbs listed are not very common. Also of note is the author grudgingly supporting milk thistle. Research and anecdotal information supporting the use of milk thistle to protect and restore the liver is abundant.
