Many have seen a doctor and have had  liver tests, but no problems have shown in the pathology results. And yet they  suspect that their liver is playing up due to some of the symptoms they&#8217;ve been  having. Generally these symptoms are yellow whites of the eyes, fatigue, irritability, anger, insomnia, and a feeling of being hung-over or seedy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Treatment &amp; prevention program<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dietary changes are a must to take the load off the  liver.<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate fatty foods, alcohol, recreational drugs, red  meat, cheese, takeaway food, smoking and fizzy drinks  containing colouring and preservatives.<\/li>\n<li>Refer to the diet for  health and vitality  and include the following juices daily for  six weeks: two raw fruit and vegetable juices, particularly freshly squeezed  orange and pineapple with a touch of ginger. Also try carrot, beetroot, celery  with a touch of spinach and ginger.<\/li>\n<li>Drink lots of filtered water throughout the day, at  least one to two litres. (Do not use tap water.)<\/li>\n<li>Drink herbal teas  during the day, such as peppermint or my Triple E or Summer Delight. Dandelion  root tea is also great for the liver. Limit coffee to one a day or none at all  for six weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Stop alcohol for at least six weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Exercise three times a week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Supplements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>St Mary&#8217;s thistle (Silybum marianum) is  great for the liver. This herb assists regeneration of the liver cells and also  has a unique ability to protect the liver against toxins. I always advise men  to take this herb if they are drinking alcohol on a daily basis, or if they are  taking recreational drugs. Take one tablet two to three times a day until the  liver symptoms are better and you have more energy and vitality.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A complex vitamin B tablet once daily.<\/li>\n<li>A broad spectrum anti-oxidant to help eliminate free  radical damage.<\/li>\n<li>Two omega 3 and 6 oil tablets a day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A herbalist can make  up the following liver tonic.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> St Mary&#8217;s thistle 30%<\/li>\n<li> Dandelion root 20%<\/li>\n<li>Globe artichoke 20%<\/li>\n<li>Bupleurum falcatum 10%<\/li>\n<li> Liquorice 10%<\/li>\n<li> Peppermint 10%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take one teaspoon twice a day, or three times a day if  possible, in a glass of water. I advise my clients to stay on  the tonic for at least six weeks and preferably twelve weeks to see the positive results. Note: With viral hepatitis a tonic may be needed for three to  six months.<\/p>\n<p>If your consumption of  alcohol has risen, take one teaspoon of the tonic for two to three weeks after excessive drinking. I also prescribe a liver tonic for those men who have stopped smoking and using recreational drugs, to help their body remove any remaining toxins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wzzzz\"><font style=\"width:1px; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; height:1px;\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/327.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yraistauxau Ringtone<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/143.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vedoomoh Album<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/487.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yfnoibranoud Album<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/488.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesloohoiq Album<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/97.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eznaublotro Sound<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/2.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ceizvoimai Download<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/207.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trivimihnai Download<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/19.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nodvootepo Album<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/359.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bykleivyc Ringtone<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dmacmedia.ie\/kps\/customers\/85\/rin\/61.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ezeigleij Sound<\/a><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of the men who come to see me in my practice ask how they can maintain a healthier liver.
