I never took the LivaTone tonics. Here is something I just read //www.curezone.org/forums/m.asp?f=626&i=1155 It explains that we should clean the liver of obstructions before we try and detox with herbs. I think that beginning Liver Cleanses right now would be much more conducive to liver health than preparing with a liver tonic. Cleansing the liver releases an enormous burden off your body and allows it do detox comfortably at it's own pace. It would be much better to remove the cause of your livers troubles first than to try and force it to cleanse with herbs when it may not be strong enough. A detoxifying diet would be much more effective if combined with Liver Cleanses because the liver would be better able to keep up with the newly released toxins. You would be much less likely to have a healing crisis which could further overburden sick organs. The only thing you really need to do to prepare for a flush is to cleanse the colon and possibly the kidneys. Other than that it would be best to begin flushing immedietely. Good luck and happy flushing!
