Liver Question...?
About 1-1/2 yrs ago I was diagnosed with Hep C. What sparked the whole thing was a doctor staying at a lodge we managed told me that I should have my enzymes checked since I was on a high
protein diet. He said 1 in a 1000 people get their liver enzymes elevated because of high
protein diets the other 999 benefit from the high
protein.
I got the test and they were really high. More tests ran and found that I have Hep C. Well......now that I am on a truly high
protein diet, I didn't have a clue before because I didn't log and keep track of all that I ate back then. It makes a difference!!!
About 6 months later I had a Liver Biopsy done.....OUGH!!!! Son-of-a-....... It was like being ran through with a sword. My Gastro doc told me that there were no dead, damaged, or dying liver cells. Just a little fatty at the time. This is a miracle considering I drank almost daily for quite a few years. I no longer drink.....at all! He said that drinking would be like throughing gasoline on a fire!
I got my enzymes checked last Friday and they reported that my
enzymes are basically normal except for my ALT (i believe that's right) count still being a little high but lower than it was. They also told me my Cholesterol is 130! I couldn't believe it!
Now that I've laid the foundation....here is the question.
I'm taking
milk thistle-1500mgs, Dong Quai-1000mgs, Licorice Root-1000mgs, and Alapha Lipoic Acid-1200mgs - to help shield my liver. Remember ...I'm taking Deca and Test Prop on this...my very first cycle. I always took the
milk thistle anyway but added the others because of my this cycle.
Will these help keep my enzymes down within limits.
Please only guys that have had some kind of experience in the area only.
Thanks Guys!!! Again!!
