Any advice on Detoxing oneself?

[crimson coal]

I have ended a mass cycle with a kind of see anything in site and eat it diet. Well I have decided to completely come off and stay off of the juice and worry more about my heart than being huge. I have bought and been taking liver detox, colen clense, cranberry extract, etc and am feeling a huge difference in my mood and physical well being already. Is there anything else I should be taking other than what I have listed and a good diet? Mainly I want to rid myself of all my toxins and completely clean myself out. Any help is appreciated.

Milk thistle (you can also add PS for better result)

Milk thistle nutritionally supports the liver's ability to maintain normal liver function. It has shown positive effects in treating nearly every known form of liver disease, including cirrhosis, hepatitis, necroses, and liver damage due to drug and alcohol abuse. Milk thistle works due to its ability to inhibit the factors responsible for liver damage, coupled with the fact it stimulates production of new liver cells to replace old damaged ones.

Milk thistle has been proven to protect the liver from damage. The detrimental effects of environmental toxins, alcohol, drugs and chemotherapy may be countered with this valuable herb. The active chemical component in the herb is silybin, which functions as an antioxidant and is one of the most potent liver protective agents known. Clinical trials have proven silybin to be effective in treating chronic liver diseases and in protecting the liver from toxic chemicals. An injection of silybin is a proven antidote for poisoning with the Deathcap mushroom (Amanita phalloides).

- 1+ gallons of water daily
- Lots of Fiber
- Antioxidants (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, ALA, etc.)

ALA is one of the very best for the liver. Shoot for 600mg-3g per day. You can get it cheapest at:

(50g powder for $16 last time I checked)

or from Iceman on this board (20 cents per 500mg cap)

You can get r-ALA/Glucorell or whatever its called is available from the AF store.

When I got out of rehab the doctors all recommended Milk Thistle. My AST (liver damage test) was over 500. I took 1000mg twice a day. My AST was down to 130 on my next test. Can't say for sure how much of that was my liver healing naturally or the Milk Thistle. There aren't any contraindications, so it's worth a try.

Pretty much..yes.....I would like to lean down to about 220 as first step then go from there.

from what i have read on ALA it is pretty much the only thing that has been shown to reverse liver damage cranberry extract is also good
