i talked to a PhD in biology and nutrition (or some combo of the two), and her specific area of work is in herbal homeopathic remedies. she told me that for liver care SAMe is
WAY overratted. She said that it plays a very minor role in aiding in proper liver function...she said milk thistle was way better and then she started rattling off a list of other herbs that i can no longer remember. I didnt know whether to believe her but she travels around the country giving lectures and seminars to doctors (md's/phd's), registered dieticians, nurses, etc. about natural compounds used as healing agents. so i put a lot of stock in someone who does this as her job. just from speaking with her for ten minutes i realized she knew a hellova lot more than me
