Artichoke is very good for Liver. For fatty liver disease, drink Carrot Juice 200 ml a day, will cleanse the liver even without your knowing.

I agree! Would be great if you could share the Dr & protocol they used here. Sounds great.

Incorrect! Carrot juice is pure sugar! That's the worst thing anyone can do!

Carrot juice has natural sugars but plenty of other stuff that promotes liver health.

Carrot Juice Administration Decreases Liver Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 and Improves Docosahexaenoic Acid Levels, but Not Steatosis in High Fructose Diet-Fed Weanling Wistar Rats (nih.gov)

DISAGREE - CARROT IS THE BEST

Replied by Brett RN from Hawaii on 10/11/2022

Note: It says: "...but not Steatosis..." (steatosis is fatty liver disease) Sooooo, high sugar juices, even "healthy ones like OJ, Apple, carrot, etc, are NOT what anyone with NASH should consume. I love juice, but once I was diagnosed with NASH (Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) it became a "NO-GO" to consume such high sugar liquids. Juices are EXTREMELY HIGH SUGAR (cup of OJ has about 5-8 teaspoons of sugar - 25 to 40 grams - depending on the oranges used and that is slow suicide in a glass unless you A: Just worked out hard or B: Just woke from a long night of sleep and break your fast with it. ln either case, NEVER IF YOU HAVE NASH, EVER).

Milk thistle was recommended by my doctor for high liver enzymes but unfortunately, I have an allergy to ragweed................so milk thistle not an option.

Hi Beverly,

Two other supplements that have shown benefit for NAFLD are Astaxanthin and Melatonin as I discussed here :

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease.html

If you need additional help, Berberine at 1500 mg /day in three divided doses of 500 mg each at breakfast lunch and dinner has also shown benefit as discussed here :

Here is a relevant quote :

' BBR alleviated NAFLD via mediating PPAR signaling pathways through targeting AKR1B10. This study proved that AKR1B10 is a novel target of BBR for NAFLD treatment and helps to find new targets for the treatment of NAFLD by using active natural compounds isolated from traditional herbal medicines as the probe.'

I’m allergic to Milk Thistle as well. Was your Dr able to alternate another supplement for this? Thx.

I am newly diagnosed with a fatty liver and gallstones. Thank you for this information on castor oil packs. I'm going to look into it. Have you gotten sick from the fatty liver or gallstones? What are you doing to treat the gallstones? Along with castor oil packs are you doing anything else for the fatty liver?

Replied by Mary Kat from Arizona on 10/30/2025

Hi, Marieg,

Try apples and apple juice for the gall stones. It worked for me. Apple cider vinegar might help, too.

Carrot seed oil...extremely beneficial. Pure, non-gmo, oil. Give it a try. Check it out for yourself.
