My GGT in liver blood tests were 400 u/l. After taking ALA and Milk Thistle, they have dropped to below 90 u/l in 6 months.

I am suffering from high liver enzymes currently and a pharmacist friend told me to look at this NIH study on herbs among other things that could be contributing to it. If you click on each herb that you may be taking, it will explain any concerns or toxicity.

Also think overuse of my asthma inhalers...........albuterol and Symbicort are contributing.

Extremely High Liver Enzymes Remedies

Extremely High Liver enzymes, Ferritin LVL, CRP

My husband recently had extensive blood labs done beyond the regular ones which we had to insist be tested. I picked up a copy of the results and discovered several extremely high results on the ones indicating possible sudden death from my extensive research. Evidently, his PCP had not even looked at the results. Due to his PCP being out of her office we can get an appointment for a month. What should we do?

Here are the labs I mentioned as being dangerously high:

  • CRP, hi sensitivity 4.3
  • Ferritin LVL 586
  • GGT 133
  • cholesterol 275
  • LDL 152
  • Homocysteine 15

I was curious................can someone verify that turmeric and green tea are actually good for high liver enzymes. I read just the opposite along with aloe vera. They can cause the situation to worsen.

My 2 cents.

It is probably not the herbs per se if they were tested for millennia, but its quality, preparation methods(concentration), and the treatment protocol. Also, one size doesn't fit all. An herbalist would monitor your symptoms, response to a treatment and have medicinal quality herbs.

In FL for example an acupuncturist before getting a license to practice must pass an extremely difficult test (among others) on herbology. Many acupuncturist treat patients with herbs. FL has extremely stringent requirements for Licensure as an Acupuncturist.

It is extremely difficult to find not just organically grown herbs, but the herbs what grow in its natural habitat, preferably wild grown, not cultivated.

So doing a detox is one thing. Knowing what you are doing is another. I recommend not to self-treat if condition is chronic or complex, or a patient is of an advanced age or a child.
