Have you ever been on Julia Chang's website? It is really good. Here is a link

to one of her articles:

I have read some of her stuff in the past, but I disagree with a lot of her information and recommendations. For example from the link you posted:

"Several herbs are mentioned as beneficial to the liver including Coptis, Gentian, Self-Heal and Scutellaria."

Two herbs I do not recommend are coptis (goldthread) and self-heal (prunella). Coptis is a berberine herb as are goldenseal, Oregon grape root and barberry. Berberine destroys the intestinal flora and can damage the intestinal lining after a few weeks f use. In addition these herbs drop the blood sugar and deplete the body of potassium raising the blood sugar. Self heal suppresses thyroid function. These herbs are best avoided especially since there are more effective and safer alternatives.

She also mentions using the gallbladder flush, which does not work:

I addition she has a section on what to do if the flush lodges a real gallstone in the bile duct. What she did not mention is that this can be life threatening and if it happens it normally requires emergency surgery so it is best to get to a hospital immediately.
