I noticed folks talking about lemon in water (which reminds me I'm supposed to consume the juice of one in water during the course of the day), and milk thistle. I haven't seen anyone mention shizandra berry extract. It is supposed to be very good to help rebuild your liver but is not to be taken if you are still drinking. I read about it on Dr. Wiel's website. Tastes horrid. Just thought I'd throw that tidbit out there.

Well, AL actually tastes horrid too. Of course, after a few you no longer taste it really!

Health food store. It's an extract. Little brown botle with dropper type of thing. You mis a dropper of it in a little water and swirl it around in your mouth and swallow it. Actually I use a more than a little water because i consider the taste so vile. But if it helps my poor liver I'll do it. Sometimes if a store doesn't have what I want, I have them special order for me.

No I'd never heard of it either, do you notice any improvement ie do you feel 'cleansed' or different in any way?

You can make lemonade with real lemons and sweeten it with stevia, a very sweet herb. I bet that is good for the liver.
Anyways, it is yummy.

I think my liver worries me the most about this too much alcohol thing. I worry about my health, but don't do too much about it. I take supplements, eat really well, exercise daily, but I still drink. It's almost hypocritical. Without the element of alcohol, I would be really, really healthy! What's wrong with me?

cowgal,
I think every morning will be my last morning feeling horrible. But by the time 6:00 pm comes, all resolve is gone. I worry how pickled I am inside. That's why I feel like a hypocrite, preaching good eating and exercise to my family. I do that, but there's this other poison entering my system that zaps the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. Normally a person with much resolve and willpower, I feel helpless over this aspect of my life. My two adult children do not abuse alcohol, thankfully and I doubt they will. They see it for what it is and enjoy it only in moderation. I'm happy for them. I've also warned them too, my parents never did that for me because they didn't see their drinking as a problem. But it was and I wish I'd recognized that.
