The condition doesn't have a name-- it's just liver enzyme polymorphisms.

Polymorphisms are variations in the gene-- some percentage of the population has

the less efficient form of each gene. I happen to have 9 of them. The test was

done by Genova Diagnostcs, which you can find online. The report they sent with

the results was very thorough. For each polymorphism they detailed what things

I couldn't process well, what the likely effects of this would be and some

suggestions for offsetting it.

I do avoid things known to be hard on the liver, or take smaller doses, and I

take a lot of milk thistle and other liver support herbs, as well as a lot of

anti-oxidants. With conventional medicine I definitely take smaller doses since

they stay in my system much longer.
