Teri-
I don't know about the cleansing, but I do know that thistle promotes healthy liver. It's frequently recommended to chronic alcoholic's for liver regeneration (??? i don't know if that's the correct term) but it makes sense. do they say anything about LC'ing being good or bad for this problem??

Has anyone ever had sucess with strict Induction during the week, and then 'semi LCing (40-50 carbs/day) on the week-end??
