Re: Liver Function Test

The supplement is Rhodiola Rosea. It was really good from the start. With the help of RR I
1. was able to drop antidepressants I been taking for 9 mns.
2.my arthritis I been having for ages and which become very bad from all my treatment - just gone.
3.generally I felt really well, like never before.
It was said RR help in case of liver cancer.I took a risk as I hate to do nothing when something should be done as I haven't been having any treatment for weeks.
The fact that RR affected my LFT (and probably made ca in my liver worse - CT will show) I think is down to hormons. My ca is ER+++, and there is strong connection between RR and hormons as said it improves sex life( last thing I would think of in my situation).
It just shows we have to be very careful using those good supplements as they might give unwanted side effects depending on individual case.
Thank you for your kind replies.
With love
Galina

Re: Liver Function Test

Just to say I probably was wrong blaming RR, as blood test today shows ALT still increasing.
I'm taking Femara as well and so many factors might possibly affect those results that difficult to say which one is real cause.
