Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed with borderline TMAU about 8 years ago after doing the choline load urine test. Like many of you, I wasn't born with this condition and tried everything including ingesting diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide with water. (in retrospect, not a good idea) I woke up this morning with "normal" morning breath and actually felt fresh and clean after taking a shower. I've been taking LiverCare (an Ayurveda formula) by a company called Himalaya Herbal Healthcare for about 3 weeks. www.himalayausa.com/herbalformulas/livercaretab.htmI can honestly say I have seen amazing results with these pills. I take 2 tablets per meal because I think our condition warrants an increase dosage. It claims to regenerate liver cells and increase the enzyme levels in the liver. And as far as I can tell, that's exactly what it's doing because my odor and bad breath have disappeared. The product is also called Liv.52 and you can order it online from almost anywhere in the world because it's earned a worldwide reputation for curing various liver disorders. I'd love to hear other's comments and feedback on this product. Good luck everyone and hang in there! Lots of love.

Hello Furaha,
Thanks for posting this info. Just like JoliePitt, I thought this was an ad too. Thanks for contacting people from the conference calls. They told me about you and all the things that you have tried previously and that you wouldn't lie and have nothing to gain by sharing. I did some research on the product and found it interesting. I have tried everything before as well. I did not buy this from the link you provided, my local VitaShoppe sells it too. Coincidentally, the clerk at VitaShoppe told me that its the best liver product that they sell and he uses it also. I hope I see great results too, although I am one of those who doesn't smell themselves. I guess I will have to read into people's reactions extra hard, he he. Well, I thought I would share with everyone the info that I received. Take it as you may. Believe me, I took one pill so far and Himalaya doesn't know me from a hole in the wall. I get nothing by adding to this post. I will let everyone know if it works for me after I finish the bottle of 90 pills. Take care.

congrats to you and thank you for posting this info. It is just what we need - people sharing info about products which work for them. I'll try and get this from the UK (though sometimes the postage is more than the product!)

Congratz Furaha, I am happy you found something that worked for you, and in a relatively short time. Please let us know if it continues to work, and if you are on the low choline diet. Best of luck to you Optimistic, I am praying for good results for you as well. I will be interested in hearing if it works out. By the way, are you on the low Choline diet?
Blessings EDI

Thanks for the info Furaha. I tested normal for TMAU back in 2001 with Colorado labs but positive for the DNA test with Dr. Preti; Which incidently, I just found out because my DNA will be one of those used for the NORD study. Anyway, I was told by Dr. Preti that I was a mild case and I thought this product would be worth my while to try since you are a borderline case. Well I am on day 5 and I have noticed a reduction in my odor overall. It's not completely gone but it has been greatly reduced. This is without changing my diet. As with these products in the past, the key is if the effects are long term. So I will continue and see where I am at 2 months in and update.

Are the Liver supplements still working for everyone?

Yes, I was surprised to one day get a call from Monell to ask me for my updated address ect. They told me they had gotten a grant and were going to use my DNA along with others who had their blood genotyped thru them.
The last time I talked with them was back in 2001 when I contacted them to find out if it was genotyped, and if I was positive or negative. The person I spoke with told me they had lost the blood sample I shipped to them. At the time this was some type of early research they were doing and they were not going to charge me for the genotyping. So imagine my surprise to get the information that I do have TMAU. I had tested negative with the urine test thru Colorado Labs and didn't know what I had. Anyway, I am fortunate to have it studied and I pray it leads to a cure someday for us all. In the mean time the info I get from this board and Maria's and the many others, both past and present, has been a godsend over the years. I learned about probiotics, riboflavin, using low pH soaps, shampoos, and many other things that have greatly helped me both physically and psychologically and have given me great hope. Many things would not have happened(The NORD study) if not for those who have created, maintained and contributed to our cause.

Just an early observation with the Liv.52. I've just been taking it a few days and I can't say anything about the odor, because I can't tell, but all of a sudden I seem to have become more "regular." Not sure if the liver pills have anything to do with it. Anybody else notice this as a "positive" side effect?
I've also recently started taking the TherBiotic probiotics, but had begun them before the liver pills and before this bowel improvement. Don't know if it's just a coincidence or if the liver could have anything to do with this but thought we might have a better idea if anyone else has had the same experience. Usually just about nothing helps me with this problem but something seems to be happening here! Curious if anyone else has had this experience???

I had to stop taking it because of bad detoxing. Itching, fatigue ect..
I contacted the original poster and they said the odor returned after eating choline-rich foods. They are going to try again by eating low choline foods for 3 months while taking it and then re-enter higher choline foods. They will probably post a response then.

I wanted to give an update on the Liv.52 supplement. I started taking this supplement back in February. I got through a little over half the bottle and had to stop. I was experiencing itching and fatigue. I knew that this was probably due to the detoxing that was going on in my liver. I have been overweight and have been diagnosed with a fatty liver 6 years now. I have struggled to try and get this weight off. I had a doctor appointment this week and after they weighed me they told me I had lost a good deal of weight since my last appointment, seventeen pounds in 2 months. I was shocked......... I haven't been doing anything differently other than taking this supplement. I now have several bowel movements a day now and it has definitely helped with reducing my odor. I do measure how much choline I take (weigh my food) and try to keep it down. These two things have made a difference in how strong my odor is. This is my personal experience and I can't say for sure anyone else would have the same experience. But my thinking is, this supplement makes you more regular and strengthens the liver, two things that are important in reducing body odor. I have been taking milk thistle for over 8 years and it has never has this effect on my liver that this product has.
