Watch: Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Drug-Induced Liver Injury

As summer heats up, so do I. Now, where did I put that trashy romance novel? You too?

In any event, whatever your pleasure, check out ....

Clinical Liver Disease Special Summer Issue: Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Clinical Liver Disease (CLD) is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about hepatitis C and liver disease. The journal is a product of the AASLD and published every two months. Topics in the July issue include; liver injury caused by dietary supplements, acetaminophen overdose, and drug-induced liver injury in Chinese herbal medicine, to name a few.

The reader will find articles with full-text audio, and other interactive content for a pleasant viewing and listening experience.

Although, unlike my novel "Valley Of Love Under The Bridge To Nowhere" the journal is void of any real romance, no heart-pounding sizzle or fantasy, only facts, not even a swoon.

I did however have a romantic moment with Dr. Maddukuri, after viewing his video with Dr. Bonkovsky. The good doctors summarize their May 2014 publication; Herbal and dietary supplement hepatotoxicity.

After finishing the video, I was rather surprised at myself. In the end, a very distinguished Dr. Bonkovsky won my heart, I was moved when he inquired about liver injury, and green tea extracts. Its the little things that matter.

Tonight, while drinking iced coffee, and reading Fifty Shades of Grey, I will let myself fondly remember Dr. Bonkovsky.

Supplements
