Naturopaths are keen on caster oil packs to help the liver - my friend likes his coffee enemas (!), there's a few doctors using high dose phosphatidyl choline, and I've also done quite well on allergy research's organic liver capsules.
Seemed to be a gentle way to get glutathione when I couldn't take NAC etc..I suppose it's just trial and error, but being confident enough to stop something when you know it isn't working - I have developed a 'feel' for things over the last few years - If I feel unwell when I hold something, it's a good indicator it will do the same inside me!
Good luck
