Stay away from fried food and lose weight if you are overweight! A fat body is a fat liver! Such a bummer. Exercise is also important.

I'm glad you mentioned the Milk Thistle. It has been a big help to me and I have not read of any side effects. I have read that the ancient Greeks used it for liver problems! Of course, one should check with the doctor to make sure it will be okay to take it. My doctor said he didn't think it would help but it wouldn't hurt. He was surprised when my liver enzymes came down. I believe it was the MT but he wasn't convinced.
