It appears you can help your liver repair by nudging its available glutamate.
I wonder if monosodium glutamate is a helpful glutamate source.
I have a friend who lost his wife to cirrhosis. He had it as well. They were millionaires before they were 40. They partied hard.
Anyways, Scott reversed his by diet alone. He is now a sobriety coach. Does it for free. Scott Freda. You can find him on YouTube and x and other places. Good guy.
A normal supplement that supports the liver people can usually take safely is Milk Thistle.
The previous end-all, be-all for the liver was ‘silymarin’, a chemical in Milk Thistle. Several scientific studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially a flavonoid called silymarin) protect the liver from toxins.
Not only did it protect the liver from deadly toxins, such as that found in the death cap mushroom, but it slowed uptake of such toxins, giving more time for the protective effect, and it stimulated liver regeneration by as much as 1/3rd.
The toxin mentioned is so destructive that there have been cases where after it destroyed a liver, and the person got a liver transplant, there was enough toxin left in the blood to destroy the transplant liver.
Talk about a great market nich. Hard Cider + Glutamate.
Does MSG count? Mono sodium glutamate. I cook with it quite often.
Thanks for the article. I will follow up with some of the researchers as a ESLD Patient who has had bouts of hepatocellular cancer.
Interesting study. Hopefully a course of treatment will someday be developed from this.
Have you watched this or heard of the Doctor? He is trying to develop vaccines based on T-cells instead of the virus model.
I bring this up because you seem to have a handle on health issues.
Glutamine is an all around good supplement. It’s supposed to help with muscle regeneration and gut healing as well.
bump for later
Thanks

I buy PPC PhosChol (PolyenylPhosphatidylcholine -900mg softgels - human form) for our rescue dog who has copper storage disease. Recommended by her liver specialist to help her liver heal.
