This is really in answer to MrB_123 question. However, this question pop's up from time to time.

It is a natural response to want to try and help your now damaged liver, but sadly there's no magical cure. Taking supplements, homeopathic or herbal remedies can end up doing more harm than good to not only your liver but your pocket too.

There are a lot of unscrupulous people out there who are just waiting to try and cash in on your poor health. Keep your cash in your wallet or purse, and have faith in your doctors and consultants.

Good Luck to all.

Thank you for that Richard. It's certainly knowing or being reminded that there are so many people around who try to gain money from us, you are right, they are unscrupulous!! Take care Lynne

Thank you Richard.

We are in the process of updating our response on Complementary & Alternative Medicines (CAM). Here is our current link;

We would always advise people to discuss the use of any complementary therapies with their own doctors to ensure they are safe to take.

Best wishes
