Hi Crystal,

I'm not an alternative health practitioner, so I really can't say for sure. If the bottle says to discontinue if those symptoms occur then discontinue. Every body is different, and yours may require a natural cleansing procedure rather than something out of a bottle. I've included links to a few articles if you want to look into this more:

I started a cleansing program about four days ago, and immidately on the second day i started experiencing abdominal cramping and diarrhea. The bottle said to discontinue using if these symptoms had appeared. My mom started on the same day as i did and she didn't share my symptoms. Does this mean that my body didn't need to detox? or did i just have a bad reaction to it?

Hi Janet,

I'm so sorry to hear of your health problems. I don't have a for sure answer for you but have heard that Milk thistle acts by nutritionally supporting the body’s ability to maintain normal liver function. According to what I've read, it has shown positive effects in treating nearly every known form of liver disease, including:

• cirrhosis
• hepatitis
• necroses
• 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. According to some of the reports I've read, the detrimental effects of environmental toxins, alcohol, drugs and chemotherapy may be countered with this valuable herb.

I have been diagnosed with liver cancer. My question is: Can I cleanse my liver to rid myself of the toxic effect of the Chemo and Radiation? I am not going to have these hacks touch me ever again.

Often people who follow detox diets experience problems with acne as their bodies rid themselves of toxins. This acne can appear anywhere, so don't be alarmed. It should go away after the cleanse.

Could detox diets cause you to have acne in places you normally don't have it? Like on the buttocks?
