The Things You Absolutely Must Know To Avoid Liver Remedy Rip-offs

Warning: Do not buy any natural liver support formula from anyone without asking these important questions.

1. Are there published clinical studies of the formula in National Library of Medicine showing effectiveness at protecting, supporting and/or regenerating liver cells?

Milk thistle, the active ingredient in Maximum Milk Thistle, Liv. 52 and HO9 (Sho-saiko-to) all have favorable published articles in the National Library of Medicine database. You can access an entire list of the most relevant studies regarding Maximum Milk Thistle, here.

You can also go directly to the National Library of Medicine to read about published studies. Check out these links:

Read about the active ingredient in Maximum Milk Thistle-code name Idb 1016, and the liver (14 studies).

Or silymarin and the liver,  (687 studies).

Or silybin and the liver, (185 studies).

Or milk thistle and the liver, (103 studies).

See Liv. 52 liver studies (48 studies).

See Sho-saiko-to liver studies (165 studies).

If other companies can't back up their claims of liver health enhancement with independent clinical studies published in peer reviewed medical journals, then something is not right, don't you agree?

2. Are there published studies in the National Library of Medicine showing safety?

Don't assume that just because something is natural that it is safe. Demand proof. Any product that has had studies done on effectiveness should also have results showing safety.

If they have neither, then don't trust them.

Safety studies for our products can also be found at the NLM. (See the above study links).

3. Are there ongoing studies of the product based on previous success in helping liver patients?

If there are no current studies, why is the product not taken seriously enough by medical researchers? The key ingredient in Maximum Milk Thistle is part of two ongoing studies {See Study 1, See Study 2}, and HO9 (Sho-saiko-to) is part of two studies {See Study 1, See Study 2}.

4. Is it recommended by nationally recognized medical experts and independent health book authors?

Don't simply believe the people who are directly involved in the product. They could be lying. They have a vested interest in making their product look good. You need to ask for published independent opinions.

Maximum Milk Thistle has an entire page of references from independent experts, here. We can provide the same for any other product we recommend and provide.

5. Is the formula so valuable and original it is patented or trademarked?

If there is anything special about the formula or substance it would be protected. Otherwise it is generic and probably available for less money elsewhere.

Maximum Milk Thistle, Liv 52 and HO9 (Sho-saiko-to) are all protected by patent or trademark because of their original and proven superior formulations.

6. Is the formula certified to be produced under sterile and hygienic conditions?

Some herbalist in the back room of a Chinese restaurant might not be careful enough about the packaging process to guaranteed no contamination from bacteria, yeast, fungus, or bugs.

We have certificates of Good Manufacturing Processes at inspected laboratories or facilities. Any other credible manufacturers should, too.

Consider this, someone making colloidal silver in their basement could be using contaminated water, for all you know. The last thing you want to do is put even more strain on your liver when you are trying to help it to cope with disease.

Besides, colloidal silver sort of falls under the "panacea" or "snake oil" category, doesn't it?

7. Are all ingredients disclosed with the exact amounts of each specified?

Any product with unknown amounts of substances might be marginally effective, but it could also be dangerous.

Full disclosure for nutritional supplement formulas is required by the FDA. See http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ds-oview.html#regulate

What if the manufacturer is including an ingredient that is not always good for the liver? You have a right to know about all ingredients and their quantities.

If quality control is so lax that the manufacturer can't be sure of the amounts of each constituent, then you should not be buying their product.

All products we recommend and provide have full disclosure statements right on'their labels.

8. Are the claims too good to be true?

Beware of the panacea effect. There are people selling "snake oil" out there. If the product supposedly treats everything from athlete's foot to cancer, be appropriately skeptical.

Don't let lots of supporting testimonials from patients reassure you, either. There is no way you can know if the testimonials are true, accurate or representative of most people's experience.

Companies who push panaceas are taking advantage of the fear of sick people. We believe this practice is despicable. Be forewarned.

9. Are false or illegal claims made regarding the treatment of a specific disease or condition?

FDA regulations clearly state that manufacturers cannot make claims about disease treatment. See http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ds-oview.html#regulate

If someone says their formula will treat or cure Hepatitis C they are probably lying and they are definitely breaking the law.

If they are capable of blatantly breaking this law, what other dishonesty are they capable of?

Please note that our recommended products are said to protect and support liver cells. This is legal, it is true, and we have the independent clinical research to prove it. We also follow all FDA regulations regarding product labeling and representation.

10. Is the product overpriced considering the fact that it will not cure or eradicate the cause of your concern?

You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars a month to adequately protect and support your liver through natural means. You can, but you certainly don't have to.

We recently heard of a Chinese doctor in NY who whips up these herb pellets in his office and sells them for over $600 per month. The formula may be effective, but that price is absurd. I guarantee you I can recommend supplements for one tenth the price that will be just as effective.

11. Is it recommended by medical doctors in the US? (Has your doctor even heard of it?)

The Maximum Milk Thistle formula is recommended and prescribed by doctors and medical researchers in the US. So is Liv 52, and HO9 (Sho-saiko-to). And none of these doctors have a financial interest in the product.

We recently saw a website touting an oriental Hepatitis formula that had an endorsement from an American medical doctor as the key focus on the home page. There was no disclosure that this doctor has a financial interest in the company marketing this product. He is, in fact, a co-owner. So much for an unbiased medical opinion, right?

12. Is it prescribed by doctors in other countries (like Germany or Japan) where natural formulas are treated like any other powerful medicine?

Liv 52 is. Milk thistle is. Sho-saiko-to is. If any product you are considering is not, you need to ask yourself (and the seller) why not.

13. Is there a full risk-free guarantee?

If they are not confident enough of their own product to offer you a guarantee, how confident can you be?

We offer a money back guarantee on all products we recommend and provide.
