Question 1

thirty-four yr old female. really tired a lot. blood work is all good.  could my liver be the cause? liver detox? does your liver make you tired?

Accepted Answer

Liver tired: Yes but has to be bad liver disease and would show out in blood tests.

My first guess would be antihistamines but need more details.

Question 2

why does sometimes it look like my stool is tan colored and other times it looks a little darker. i do drink heavy and started taking liver detox pill?

Accepted Answer

Color of stool : Usually depends on what you have eaten but can depend on the health of your organs too. If you have not had a physical lately it would be a good idea bringing your concerns upto the doc.

Question 3

does liveraid liverrite work ?i heard it detoxes your liver so you can lose weight as well as be healthy

Accepted Answer

NO: There is no such thing as a detox. The function of the liver is to filter the blood already. There is a common misconception that you need to "cleanse" the liver. This is not true. It is not the same as washing out a filter in your car or vacuum cleaner. 
There are NO over the counter supplements which do anything to help with healthy diet/weight loss/ cleansing.

Question 4

how can you best detox your liver?

Accepted Answer

Detox: The best way to detox your liver is not to take any of the herbal things they recommend for detoxing your liver. Some of them do more harm than good. You don't need to detox your liver. If you drink a lot of alcohol, stop drinking and that will be good for your liver.

Question 5

liver detox - what is a good product to choose?

Accepted Answer

No such thing : There is no such thing as a liver detox. The best way to take care of your liver is by not drinking alcohol excessively, not overeating or being obese, and not taking other  unnecessary medications.

Question 6

what websites or recipes can help with a liver detox?

Accepted Answer

No "liver detox": There is no medication for "liver detox"  besides controlling the underlying condition and symptoms that caused the liver disease if you have it. I would see a liver specialist to help you determine what is the best course of action is since liver disease, especially cirrhosis can lead to many complications that can be managed with certain medications.

Question 7

what could i do to find out if liver detox is working?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't: You won't know if it's working because "detox" doesn't work. Your liver does not need detox.

Question 8

are liver detox supplements bad for you?

Accepted Answer

No: This is a very general question as there is a great variety of liver detox supplements and some are certainly much better than others, but the whole point of liver detox supplements is to improve health (while making money for the manufacturer). They generally contain herbs like milk thistle and dandelion that are safe and effective. For best results choose ones that have organic herbs.

Question 9

days the liver takes to detox?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: Detox from what?  The liver is a natural factory that packages and gets rid of a variety of chemicals, some of which are toxins, others are totally harmless.  I am not a believer in this idea that our bodies are chock fulla toxins we put in, and that fasts, enemas, cleanses and a variety of herbs "detoxifies" (removes the toxins).  There is virtually no scientific evidence for any of this.
