A member asked:

I started taking pharma thistle gold to naturally support and clense my liver, is it safe to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I do not know what pharma thistle gold is, but, nothing is needed to cleanse a liver, nor do I know of anything that will cleanse a liver. Taking "medication" of unknown nature can not only be useless, it may be harmful.
