Re: Toxic Metals and RT3 / liver

[Guest guest]

Stopping low-calorie dieting should help RT3; I don't know if milk thistle would

or not. It probably depends partly on the cause; if the RT3 is caused by low

ferritin, for example, I don't see how milk thistle would affect that.

" if the RT3 is caused by low ferritin, for example, I don't see how milk thistle

would affect that. "

Yes, that makes sense that if the cause is low ferritin cleansing the liver

would not help. But if the RT3 is due to a stessed liver due to eating an

extremely low carb candida diet, in addition to the die-off, then would it stand

to reason that upping the carbs so as not to be in ketosis and cleansing the

liver to unblock toxins released from the die-off would help rather than going

on T3? This is all provided the person does not hav low ferritin or cortisol.
