Dr. Weil's Optimum Health Plan
Andrew Weil, M.D.

Liver Disease

  • Decrease protein to 10 percent or less of daily caloric intake.
     
  • Limit dietary fat to 25 percent of daily caloric intake.
     
  • Eat lots of starches, vegetables, and fruits.
     
  • Avoid alcohol and tobacco.
     
  • Drink plenty of water.
     
  • Drink dandelion-root tea.
     
  • Try taking extracts of the seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum). This herbal remedy is non-toxic, and European research shows that it stimulates regeneration of liver cells and protects them from toxic injury.
