Michael -- Digest Number 1492-Liver

[Guest guest]

Milk thistle is worth a try under the circumstances. I've never heard of an

adverse reaction from it.

 

Also, try cooking with star anise and fennel. A very pleasant solution. The

most respected Italian cooks will bury a couple of fennel seeds deep inside

meatballs. Star anise is a nice salad spice.

 

Many people diagnosed with CFIDS, CFS, Fibromyalgia, and a couple of similar

conditions have damaged livers. That seems to be part of the problem, but

within allopathic medicine tests of liver function are not very accurate or

comprehensive. You would generally find a better diagnosis within Acupuncture

or Kinesiology. Might be a good idea to consult one of these practitioners,

given the history you mentioned here.
