My father has been in the hospital for almost two weeks because his liver has failed due to alcohol (alcoholic hepatitis). The doctors say there is not much they can do so we’ve been giving him alternative medicines like Goji berry juice and lemonade cleanse (lemon juice, maple syrup and Cayenne pepper). Does anyone know if these things could have an adverse effect on his health?
Thank you for your opinion Gary, the doctor told us he can’t give us his professional opinion on these things because he has no training on them, though he did say it’s okay to try them. So I guess we’re just reaching for the stars.

I have heard certain herbs like Echinacea should only be taken a few months before cold/flu season starts and not everyday all year-round, or otherwise, they are not as effective, as you build up some sort of immunity to its effectiveness.

Is this true for most herbs? Or are there other herbs that can be taken all the time – like Ginseng, Garlic, etc. as a daily supplement for overall health or Milk Thistle/Dandelion to cleanse/detox the liver?

While I am familiar with all of the benefits of herbs, and know about shelf-life, expiration dates, know that the FDA does not approve certain herbs, etc., I am still unclear about long-term use/effects. Can someone please clarify any known long-term use adverse affects of any known herbs?

Thank you in advance for your help/information.

After reading detailed reviews about people taking colon cleansers and seeing various sci-fi like things come out of themselves, I’m wondering if detox is really useful or not. I once took a 7 day Cleanse program from GNC, and I felt better after using it, but I don’t know if that had more to do with my healthy diet and exercise. I saw all these pictures of intestinal goop and while most research says that the liver can do just fine detoxing the body, what about the goop? All of that stuff can’t be good in the colon, but does it present dangers to ones health to take all that fiber and who knows what else? Technically, what would that in depth, complicated colon cleanse offer that say, a dose of Metamucil couldn’t? All those reviews said they got flatter stomachs, better sleep habits, etc etc etc… What is happening here? I find myself oddly interested in a program, but I don’t want to just be in the bathroom all the time, especially at work.

Thanks!

I have searched on the net, but all the links either refer you to a wonder health pill or someones book. While I appreciate everyone needs to make a buck, I am just looking for a simple, natural, home remedy style detox program. Thanks so much!

I am a mtf trans girl taking 6mg of estradiol per day. I am also taking a supplement called GLUTATHIONE. It is said to be very good for the skin and overall health and has the effect of lightening the skin. Being an anti-oxidant and an id in cleansing the liver, will it have an effect on the estrogen i am taking? Does the body read hormones as free radicals or some sort of toxins that need to be released if you are using anti-oxidants?

does anyone know if it is alright for teens to go in for a colonics clense, to be specific like a 16 year old?
They are also diabetic, so they dont have as many digestive enzymes, correct?
I was just wondering if it would help their overall health or a waste of money and discomfort.

I’m confused.. are their pills that you take for this? And if so, what are the best kind and where would you get them? I read that a colon cleanse (and other cleanses) are extremely beneficial to your health in many ways.

Has anyone tried the lemonade diet? If so, how much did you lose?
I understand that you could lose a lot of weight, but there is a way that you can slowly stop it and then when you get off, just eat healthy and exercise. I just want to lose weight really fast as I am going on vacation next week and have yet to lose the baby weight. And for the person who asked:
