Question 1

if my liver caused my eye floaters, can i clean out my liver and then will the floaters go away?

Accepted Answer

Floaters: Unfortunately, not. Liver disease does not usually cause eye floaters. Because of your young age, I recommend an ophthalmology retinal exam to rule out eye-related causes of floaters. Within the last few years, floaters have been successfully treated with lasers, but they are usually not treated if there is no retinal problem.

Question 2

how do you clean out your liver?

Accepted Answer

You don't: Forgive my frankness. The internet is full of claims that people need to "detoxify" their livers for whatever reason. People who feel unwell (often due to undiagnosed physical disease or emotional / situational distress) are told the problem is "chemicals" or whatever and are given weird protocols and horrible things to ingest that can end them in the hospital. Ignore this nonsense.

Question 3

how long so i do a liver cleaning?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: The liver has several functions, to support nutrition, to clean the blood and to make substances to support bodily function (proteins).  It can be damaged by drugs and alcohol.  The best thing you can do for your liver is to avoid being overweight, eat healthy, be active, minimal alcohol use, no illicit drug use.  Check your liver function tests when you get your physical exam.

Question 4

how to clean liver without medicine?

Accepted Answer

Clean of what?: A healthy and varied diet consisting of fruit and vegetables is all that is needed to naturally "clear" the liver. Avoiding excess of certain medications and drugs, not smoking and avoiding excess alcohol intake are also important. The liver knows how to clean itself as long as we're good to out bodies.

Question 5

how can you cleanse you liver and keep it clean?

Accepted Answer

You can't: Anybody telling you otherwise is either badly misinformed or trying to scam you. There are "liver purges" you can drink that can end you in the icu. We do live in a sea of unpleasant chemicals -- natural and human-made -- and the best you can do by your liver is to eat a healthy diet and stay physically (especially aerobically) fit.

Question 8

No need: You don't need to detoxify your body. Your body is designed to get rid of toxins. Companies that sell you detoxifying products are only after your money.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

How do you know: That liver is clean?  Ast may be elevated due to injury to muscle, including heart muscle and red cell lysis.  But the commonest cause of elevated ast is liver injury.  What is your alt level?  You may need to have additional liver function tests done to ensure that liver is really "clean".  Please consult your doctor.
