Hi Dave, I know the livers two favorite nutrients are phospholipids and choline, and EGGS have more lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) phospholipids and choline than anything else your likely to eat. Also... Coffee has been shown to lower GGT, another liver enzyme that indicates inflammation. You need the fresh brewed stuff, not instant, and the darker roasts have less caffeine than the lighter blends. I never messed around with decaf and I've read the chemicals the use to decaffinate coffee can be toxic so if the real deal doesn't rattle your cage too much I think this is best. Breakfast may be your most important meal of the day! What does the liver hate? Well besides alcohol, deep fried foods are mentioned more often than anything else I've seen, so you may want to avoid anything out of the fryer. Fructose is also often mentioned as irritating to the liver... I like ice tea instead of soda when I dine out and I really think this helps. The healthiest meals I can actually look forward to are a Chinese stir fry with some egg drop soup and an egg roll. Lots of veg, not so much meat. One of the biggest surprises I found food wise was when I read that "theanine" in green tea was very good at calming the anxious mind, and I found this to be true in a very big way. Green tea was my saving grace during my recovery, and I still drink it every day now. Try it and see if it works as well for you as it did for me! Hope things start looking up for you SOON!

Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
A warning to anyone still in command,
of their possible future, to take care.
