Non-Approved Liver Treatments: Call for Information

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS is collecting reports of first-hand experience (positive or negative) of "alternative" (notrecognized by U.S. mainstream medicine) treatments for liver problems -- such as glycyrrhizin (from the licorice plant),silymarin (from milk thistle), alpha lipoic acid (also calledthioctic acid) and others. This information could be used to help design a clinical trial to see if any of these popular treatments have measurable benefit.

If you have information, contact Denny Smith, AIDS TREATMENTNEWS, P.O. Box 411256, San Francisco, CA 94141, or fax to415/255-4659, or email to aidsnews@aidsnews.org. Or call 800/TREAT-1-2, and leave the number and time best to reach you.
