Fatty Liver =Bodyfat: Fatty Liver is Almost always synonomous w FAT BODY. Lose weight and lose Fatty Liver. Milk thistle is good for the liver, though it doesnt fix the source of the problem. Overweight, High BMI. No easy Pill Fix, just LOSE WEIGHT, eat Right

Ultrasound is better: US is more sensitive than CT in detecting fatty liver. Reports indicate that the seed extract of milk thistle, Sylimarin, has antiinflammatory effects and is also reported to improve non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (a form of fatty liver). As a natural products, risk of allergy is higher and large controlled trials are lacking so safety is less known. It also may dangerously interact with some meds
