To Janjan23 from Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Philippines:
Milk Thistle is one of the best herbs for protecting the liver.
However if there is already liver damage there are only 2 natural products that will provoke the liver into making new healthy tissue. One is tomato juice and the other is German Camomile. Drinking 3 cups of German Camomile tea each day has been shown in lab tests to cause a liver to regrow healthy liver tissue as required. In one lab test, part of a healthy liver was removed and grew back with regular ingestion of German Camomile tea.

Hello - just wanted to tell you that I had a raging case of Hep C and was in need of a liver transplant. I did not take the drugs - I ate 80% organic instead - all juiced or blended foods, no meat, caffiene, no alcohol, only fresh juices and water for 3 months while taking high amounts of Milk Thistle and Alpha Lipoic Acid. I also had weekly colon-hydro-therapy (you can all do wheat grass enemas and take epsom salt baths) Within 3 months my liver started to repair and although some people call it "remission" - I have no symptoms of a cirrotic liver, no pain and no viral load when blood is tested... I continue to take the alpha and Milk Thistle and get massage and have regular colonics to de-worm and detox.Replied by Vincent (Boise, Idaho) on 08/29/2011
