Beth, the best and quickest way to catch you up on my story is to let you read it for yourself:

As for how much and how often I take a supplement, I listen to my body, I allow myself to be lead by the spirit of God.  I've taken herbs for years, instead of medicine and I've found that my method works for me and I trust it.

Early on with the liver issues, I realized I had a burning sensation all in my ribcage and wondered if it wasn't some sort of infection or inflamation.  I went back to garlic which I'd sured to CURE severe sinus infections and headaches.  I took what I felt I needed, when I felt I needed it ... not meaning to sound like a wise guy here, I promise ... sometimes I probably took 9 capsules, maybe even more in a day, sometimes I didn't take any.  The constant was 1250 mg capsules.  Then I added Genesis Today's 100% gogi juice.  Within a few months, I knew it was working well for me along with the other things I was doing ... diet and cleansing.  After the "hot spots" went away, I "talked" to MH here or in an email about having had eczema on my hands and now having the same sort of hot itchy feeling in my ilver area.  He knew exactly what I meant and recommended his Itch/Liver formula for me.  I think I've bought 5 or 6 bottles of this formula over the last year and have 1 1/2 of them left.  I have no more eczema on my hands and my liver feels like a new liver.  I'm finishing the bottles of Itch that I have and don't expect to need any more of it.

If you feel that you are combatting an infection issue with your liver, try garlic ... eat it fresh, add it to salad and your juices and take a supplement.  It's food!  How much is enough?  Let your body tell you.

Try gogi berries in whatever form appeals to you.  Gogi is a superfood, and the highest antioxident value in one source on the planet.

Try pure, wild Turkish oregano (MH has it) and take it sparingly ... this is an essential oil and for self-experimenters only.  It's hot as eternal blazes!!!!!  I started by taking 1 drop in a tablespoon of omega 3 oil and have worked up to 4 drops without paying any attention to the heat anymore.  I put 1 drop in every gallon of distilled water that I pour up into my glass jug and MH puts the stuff in about every product he makes and I take several daily.

Try olive leaf tincture, a natural antibiotic (like garlic) that doesn't wreck your PRObiotics. I put about 10 drops of this in w/the oregano in my omega 3 oil.

If I haven't answered all your questions .... feel free to ask more.
