This page provides numerous research reports claiming the
listed herbs will repair the liver from hepatitis, cirrhosis
and infections of the liver. I do not make this claim of myself
but have collected research reports that make this claim.
See them below. The research
indicates that the liver can be repaired,
which is something current doctors do not know or recognize
even though this is reported by doctors in research labs.
It takes up to 20 years for new research to go from the lab
to the patent.
To heal the liver one must
eliminate all oxidants.
which are governed by Kappa
B, which is related to oxidative stress and Metabolic
stress all relate to items that must be repaired along
with any treatment for the liver. In fact Kappa B, oxidation
and Metabolic Stress are the primary causes of liver diseases
and infection. Cure them and you may cure the liver. You cannot
cure them or the liver if you do not eliminate oxidants.

This is by far the most impressive of the
herbs for the treatment of and prevention of Liver damage.
The main Chemical ingredient is Silymarin, which is thought
to be at least ten times more potent in Antioxidant activity
than vitamin E. Silymarin increases the glutathione (GSH)
content of the liver by over 35% in healthy subjects,
and increases considerably the level of the important
antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase in cell cultures.
Glutathione is responsible for detoxifying a wide range
of hormones, drugs, and chemicals. By increasing glutathione,
the liver has a greater capacity for detoxification reactions.

| Turmeric |
Proven to increase liver function and repair the liver
including reverse cihrossos. [Curcumin prevents the liver
enzymes SGOT and SGPT, commonly seen in experimental models
of inflammation. Curcumin is an active choleretic, increasing
bile acid output by over 100 percent. In addition to increasing
biliary salts, cholesterol, and bilirubin, curcumin also
increases the solubility of bile, suggesting a benefit
in the prevention and treatment of cholelithiasis....Combining
with Bromelain seems to enhance absorption. Since both
Turmeric and Bromelain have anti-inflammatory effects,
this may have an added advantage

One of the best effects of ginseng is its tremendous
ability to supress Kappa B which

I include this alternative medical page because
it has some good information. I take the information on reports
such as this then look for proven scientific reports to substantiate
their claims. Above I have included only the compounds from
this report that I could find proof from reliable sources as
it relates to the liver. |
