Here's some ideas...: The liver performs amazing functions but it is sensitive to injury. Avoid concomitant ingestion of drugs with alcohol, don't exceed recommended doses of prescribed &amp; OTC agents, take no supplements without a doctor's advice (many cause liver injury), no recreational drugs or "liver detoxes", minimize coincident known risks (e.g. Tylenol, (acetaminophen) more), &amp; explore alternatives with your prescribing doctor.

Question 6

hi sir ,coconut water good for liver & kidney .

Accepted Answer

Not bad: Coconut water is relatively higher in electrolytes, containing more potassium, calcium, and phosphorus.  So it is good for your health, especially if you need a good source of these electrolytes.  However, if you have kidney disease, you might want to avoid coconut water, because poor kidney function can cause dangerous levels of potassium and phosphorus.

Question 7

liver d tox tobacco, lemon, water?

Accepted Answer

...With tobacco?!!: Don't waste your time, money, or health--liver "detoxing" is snake oil!  if you indeed have a liver disease, see a specialist who can help design appropriate treatment for you.  Please read the many other healthtap answers that dissuade use of "detox" or "cleanse" products. Finally, do you really think ingesting tobacco in any form could be good for you?!

No: Your liver keeps itself clean. Drinking plenty of water is healthy for its own sake and to help get rid of the extra salt that's part of most processed-food based diets.

Question 9

hi, is there a water borne bacteria that can cause a liver diasease?

Not that I am aware: To my knowledge, water-borne bacteria do not cause liver disease. Hepatitis A and E, which are viruses, can be transmitted through water. There is also a parasitic infection called schistosomiasis that affects the liver and is water-borne.

Question 10
