Most livers stay clean without trouble; they are self-maintaining. All you have to
do to let your liver clean itself is to treat it kindly and not overload it with toxins
to filter out of the blood.
Don't drink too much, don˙t take more than recommended of your medications, wash fruits and vegetables before eating them, and if you are exposed to toxic substances (for example at work or in the course of a hobby), wear your personal protective equipment and wash when you are done.
Be aware that acetaminophen (Tylenol) will damage your liver if you take too much _ never take more than recommended on the bottle or advised by a
doctor.
Other toxins that can damage your liver include some herbal supplements
(kava, ephedra, skullcap and pennyroyal), poisonous mushrooms (always
know your mushrooms and know their look-alikes!), and many industrial chemicals.
If you work with chemicals at your job, your workplace is most likely required to keep a binder with details on those chemicals and the recommended protective equipment. Read up on them and make sure you are protecting yourself adequately; if your boss does not provide that protective equipment, make a stink about it, because you could be saving your co-workers' health. Aerosol sprays, insecticides and fungicides, can also be hepatotoxic.
You might also want to get vaccinations against hepatitis B and/or A. They
are optional, but if you are a health-care worker or have ever worked with human blood or tissue, you will have been required to get a set of Hep B shots.
Hepatitis B is a blood-borne and sexually-transmitted infection which can damage your liver, and more easily prevented than treated. Hepatitis can
be transmitted through sharing needles, getting a dodgy tattoo, or sharing razor blades and even toothbrushes.
It is more contagious than HIV, but like HIV it can be prevented through use of
a condom.
Drinking too much is the most common way to damage your liver. But occasionally, obesity - especially combined with rapid weight loss - can
cause fatty liver disease, or cirrhosis.
If you are overweight and want to lose weight, it˙s best done slowly and gradually. Crash diets are bad, m'kay?
If your liver is unable to maintain itself, then that requires a doctor˙s attention.
Since people, their organs, and how their organs glitch out are all unique,
it takes a doctor examining you and doing required tests to figure out what
is wrong and how to encourage your liver to work properly again.
It˙s not something you can do over the Internet.
