- A young man, 25 years of age, develops jaundice and brain failure and dies within a week of his symptoms. What killed him? A scientific approach and inquiry led to the diagnosis of green tea extracts-induced liver failure, which he was prescribed for hair growth.
Health supplements, known as herbal & dietary supplements are consumed by millions of people world wide for disease prevention and cure.
- BUT, there is a sinister side to the herbal and dietary supplements industry. Not only they are not tested for effectiveness and safety, in the United States alone, the cause for liver transplantation has exponentially increased only because of increased use of herbal and dietary supplements.
In this episode of The Liver Doc, we discuss the common herbal components in your daily use supplements that can cause severe liver injury, liver failure and death

Hello doctor, hope you’re doing well.
Firstly, Thank you very much for doing what you’re doing.
Can you please tell whether Forever Living products especially the aloe Vera gel (comes in yellow bottles) which they ask customers to drink on regular basis are safe for consumption or not?
My friend’s father (perfectly fit and in his late 40s) had been drinking these bottles since past one year and last month he was diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer. I suspect these products which they market as ‘herbal and natural’ to be one of the causes for this life threatening disease.
Thankyou.
Using Aloe Vera internally has no conclusive benefits and has been associated with cancer risk and cancer causation. Please see this paper on the risks www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6349368/
@@TheLiverDoc is follihair safe
Please bring out the truths about chia and flax seeds
@@TheLiverDocYou promised a video on vitamins and its effectiveness and its been a year after your video on herbal supplements,i dont see it in your channel.

Thanks for your public service. It takes incredible grit to speak the truth in the face of populistic backlash.
Made an emergency call to my sister and all family members to stop hair supplements till vetted for toxicity.....thanks a lot .....i short of words for gratitude
Dear Abby, first, thank you for your service - this is an invaluable gift to society and I wish your work finds more traction amongst general public. thanks!
Doctor, you are doing a wonderful job. With the current political/cultural scenario exposing "natural medicine" quackery and speaking on the behalf of Modern medicine are quite risky and you need some good amount of braveness to speak up. Kudos to you!
"They try to reduce weight with herbal supplement and end up with new Liver".... Liver Doc
Herbalife Nutrition's product is very good, I have also tried it and then associated with it, it gives 100% results and it is not a medicine
Such life saving information. You are crusading against misinformation in its age. Can't thank you enough sir! More power to you!
excellent vid! very clear. you're performing a great public service, thank you.
Very helpful video, keep up the good work doctor.
Thank you for putting out all this information!
Really appreciate your time and work!
Thank you Doctor for this very informative, useful and enlightening presentation.
Great content. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! Found you on Vimoh's channel first. Very informative, scienxe based content.. In additopn to what not to do, I suppose you will be creating content about to what to do to improve your chances of keeping the liver healthy.
Thank you Dr for sharing such vital information.
Thanks Abby. Highly appreciate your efforts for public health. Hope we will have more videos from you. Also waiting for your speeches in club house rooms like Kaipps Café, Lucy, Science Brigade .
Shocking and sad to see ignorance of ppl. Thanx for this initiative.
Thanks Doctor Abby, well explained 👏👏👏
Doc you are a showman sir.... So much tension ,suspence and cathartic video.
Really an eye opener... Thankyou Doctor eby🥰🥰
Thanks doc, very informative...
Brilliant !You are doing a great service Dr. Would suggest to refer or name some studies as as you explain. It will take your pitch to the next level. Please also make a detailed video on homeopathy medicines.
Thank you for the video and Twitter posts.
I went to an actual allopathic doctor with my dad, who was hooked on ayurvedic stuff and refused to get medical help for bleeding sores on legs.
I complained to the dr and asked him to put some sense into my diabetic dad, and convince him to go for clinical research and evidence based medicine rather than pseudo medicine.
The allopathic dr, quotes we cannot completely discredit ayurveda, for some stuff like jaundice we don't have any cures. 🤦♂️ (Not making this up! 💯 real)
I was in such a state of disbelief, my dad does the methi decoction too. This was told by a relatively young diabetes specialist in a posh area in a metro.
I wish we had more doctors like you. You are the real hero!
🔥🔥as always doc!
❤️🔥🙌
Librandu jindabad🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Dr Abby.. hats off to you. You seem to be leading a one man army against this herbal industry and lot of misinformation.. people like you are the need of the hour. Hats off to you..
The effort you take to make these videos and educate people is highly appreciative doctor
You are a brave man doc... keep going
Great work respected sir🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the knowledge you share 👍
Abby sir mbbs graduate here . Thank u for making these videos . U are making videos to actually help people thank u . You have no idea but u are doing god's work here. Sir a request can u also request a neprologist or make video on u know these herbs or supplements affecting kidney as well. Let people know the truth.
Please keep posting good videos
Outro superb!
Thank you very much Dr.
It's very good for some of my non malayalam speaking friends too.
Great info sir. I'm prescribed to use CURLZVIT and DUTASTERIDE for hair growth. Need your opinion on these two. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Brilliant video sir
💯❤️
Thanks a lot, great information. One quick question is Sat-Isabgol (Psyllium husk)Natural Laxative is ok to take ??
It's safe to use
But not regularly
Improve fiber intake in daily diet
Liver detox simply means flushing out your existing liver and getting a new one!
💯🔥
Hello Doctor. I have a query regarding the usage of Orlistat. Would it cause any liver damage? I have reviewed several studies prior to taking this drug and there’s no documentation of hepatotoxicity except a very few cases. It’s is available as OTC
Great vid. Is black pepper safe?
Having hair is good but it's not indispensable than liver and kidneys...your video will make us ensure whatever supplements we take are SAFE
After watching your videos, I stopped to take ayurvedic medicines (migraine). And now i am taking treatment from a neurologist.
That's the scientifically proven way.
@@TheLiverDoc if only suppressing the symptoms is proven way then worst way.
@@mrcricket2763 How do u know wht medication she is taking ?
It's the gen population taking drugs over the counter , for symptomatic relief without prescription like taking ppi , nsaids over years , also responsible for antibiotic resistance .
For migraine , u hav frm triptans to monoclonal antibodies , also for prophylaxis .
This is a great video considering most people who take supplements do it on anecdotal evidence so this would work really well
Thankyou for the great information sir, iam using Fenugreek paste ( external) for hair growth .sir can you plz tell if there is any side for it
External use is considered safe.
Thank you for your brilliant work!
I got a face wash from Tony Moly which has GREEN TEA (FERMENT) EXTRACT and I'm quite concerned about using it after watching this video. Is it safe to use externally?
External use is generally considered safe for green tea extracts.
Hi been watching you on twitter. I was advised Follihair capsules by my dermatologist. Is it safe. I am a patient of ulcerative colitis and proctitis. Under remission
Thank you for your great work, Dr Philips. After you published on Orthoherb, I made someone stop taking it (their rheumatologist in a major metro had prescribed it!). I do not (and have not) take any herbal supplements. I do have a question - what about "herbal" teas that Organic India or Vahdam sell? I saw your video on green tea (extract). Have you ever tested tea "infusions"? At least Vahdam sells dried leaf - e.g., peppermint leaves come in a tea bag. Organic India's tulsi tea is also dried leaf.
I drink infusions to avoid caffeine intake. It also helps keep my water intake up. Frankly, something like peppermint's also refreshing (placebo or not). But after seeing your videos, I worry a lot.
This video is amazing. I hope it reaches every advocate of herbal cures. It is so unfortunate that in the era we now live in where we can demonstrate clearly that these practices of ingesting unrefined herbs are toxic, we still have a large section who champion such nonsense. This video will immensely help all those who are yet undecided and are being defrauded by alternative herbal cure salesmen/women. More power to you
Good to see you in comment section sir 👍
Thanks Aditya. Hoping to make more as time allows and also updates for you very soon!
The Man Who Knows Too Much !
Thanks ☺️
Doc out of topic, what GPU do you have in that beautiful CPU of yours?
Hello doctor.
Please tell me whether cod liver oil capsules are necessary or beneficial. Is it a drug or a supplement?
thank you so much
Dr. Thank you so much. You are doing very good service. Pls continue your great work. I had a surgery and after the surgery the doc gave me a supplement with green tea extract. Thankfully as all indians have a bad habit of not completing the medication I stopped taking it for which iam very thankful.
I found out about your channel through Vimoh and I must say it's been really helpful and that too for educational purposes. I have been taking an ayurvedic supplement for drowsiness and lethargy (my blood test reports were fine, I don't have any deficiencies) and after watching this video, I checked its ingredients and found out that it contains both ashwagandha and giloy. I will discontinue this medication now.
I am so happy that I found this, I genuinely try to get my close friends and family to understand the pros of modern science and I just get these apathetic looks and "your" science does not have all the answers. I just feel like the asshole whos trying to convince my friends to not use homeopathy for their kids. Just feel validated right now.
Dr.. ALL hair growth supplements i see are using ECGC, grape seed extract.. any solution? :(
Thanks Doc
Hlo abby sir kiya Amla use kar sakte h
Okay, my Thyroid health has gone down as I started consuming some of these herbal supplements, ashwagandha, giloy and garcinia, particularly, because I did not know.
Is it possible some of these effects are born out of adulteration and not the pure plant?
Is external application of Aloe Vera on head for hair growth harmful?
Sir any side effects of vitamin supplements also
Sir,Herba life protein supplement can use? Please answer
Thanks a lot 🙏🙏.
Can you also please suggest if there are any actual supplements that ARE benificial? For example if I take common multivitamins like Becadexamine or A2Z, are they useless?
Healthy persons do not require supplements. Supplements are for those who are under nourished and have deficiencies that are documented.
@ doc- what about shilajit ? Also are there any safe supplements that ine can take like b12, fish oil, multivitamin ?
Doc is right I took shilajit with aswagandha for 1 month results grade 2 fatty liver. 2 month before my liver was perfectly alright suddenly came fatty liver after consumption of shilajit I stopped this in 2 months liver came back to healthy stage
Thank you sir
Hi doc. I went to a well known dermatologist for hair growth and he recommended Hair Growth supplements for a product known as Hairfact for 3 months. Shockingly it has green tea extract and I have taken tablets for 1 month. I chanced upon your video here as I follow you on twitter. Please let me know if I need to stop the supplements. He has also prescribed lotion for minoxidil and finastaride.
Very valuable information regarding the use of supplements and herbs.We appreciate and admire the commitment and integrity you have shown in exploring, exposing and explaining the facts and truths based on thanks a lot.,a great service to the society
Dear Sir,
Thanks for the informative video. However, I have a question regarding turmeric... Most Indian sabzis include turmeric. Is it still harmful to consume in such quantities over a long period of time?
I am using aloe veera and used green tea bags for rubbing on face only, can u tell they good or bad for pimples ?
External use is safe, but there is no evidnece that these are effective for pimples
Thank you doc for your , unfortunately when i looked at the contents of a biotin+ supplement(swisse) i can see it contains green tea extract. I have only taken about 30 caps . Will that be harmful? How much of these will cause serious trouble? Any thank you very much for the info, i will be careful in the future , not to take these kind of suppliments.
You can immediately stop it, no harm will come your way. In some, continuing these for longer duration leads to adverse events
looking forward to this one
the only supplements i take currently are creatine and a multivitamin(occasionally) and might add in protein powder later on
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these as well
This is on mostly herbal supplements. I'll do one on proteins and vits soon....
@@TheLiverDoc Eagerly waiting doctor. Also make one on treating Insulin sensitivity.
@@TheLiverDoc pls do on creatine as well
And any trusted brands of Whey ?
Thank you doctor
Doc I took whey protein for about one week at age of 39. I started having loose bloody stools. Initially doctor took it as infection. But later colonoscopy was done and I was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis. My question is, it whey protein supplements responsible for it. Its been a year now.
You should consult colorectal surgeon for that
Is Follihair Tablets safe?
Is milk thistle safe to use for liver?
thanks doc🙏
Doc , so we need to avoid these as supplements but can be used as direct or use in cooking such as turmeric ?
Cooking is perfectly fine.
Does arjun chaal has adverse effects?
Also doc, recently i visited physician for being underweight. He prescribed ensure and zolfed tablets (which contain green tea extract). Are they safe? What about long term usage?
czcams.com/video/uh6fXx9HTmA/video.htmlsi=MzLdzMtrCAmu-pw3
Sir, what about Fenugreek seeds we use in idli dosa batter ???
Thank you for sharing this crucial infirmation. However, I would like to know your views on Vitamin D3 and Omega 3 fish oil supplements. Are these safe? Thanks in advance.
sir, what about using vitamin E , evion 400, vitamin D, mega 3 the omega oil supplement, is it safe.
Any thing in excess is harmful,take it under ur Dr consultation
Doctor please make a video on anabolic steroid and its effect in liver.
Sir say something about Green Coffee Bean Extract ? is it safe ?
The outside green part of aloe Vera, I have been told. Is high in latex. Many of us have latex allergies, so I don’t touch anything with aloe vera
What are those 3 glass bottles behind you are?
Thanks Doc for making these wonderfully informative videos. Had a question. Are we harming ourselves by using turmeric, methi and kokum while cooking or is it only the extracts that we need to stay away from since they contain a more concentrated dosage of the harmful compounds
Waiting ❤️
Is milk thistle suppliment is safe??
A law should be enforced so that these health supliments should be put to clinucak, toxicologicaland chemical tests for the safety of the oeople 🙏
Dr, appreciate your effort to conscientise and educate common person like me on do's and don'ts for a healthy life. I have a question on the consumption of Indian Mint (Pani kurkka) boiled water for cold, running nose, fever etc. Does it actually help? There's a popular belief that it helps immensely
There is no scientific evidence that it does
@@TheLiverDoc Thanks
Truly useful video! 🙏
what about rooibis tea...i read a report a couple of years ago where a young man had liver injury due to drinking it.
Some herbal teas are liver toxic. Chhaparal, Roobios etc fall into toxic category.
Sir I have a question, I have had fatty liver due to alcohol. After 4 years of heavy consumption of alcohol daily, my symptom was total loss of appetite and didn't feel like drinking even water (all this didn't happen 2 years back when I used to drink) . Three months now on daily use of Heptral 400mg+ Evion 400mg . Now all my liver functions are normal and ultrasound too. Should I continue to consume these medicines?
I mean should I be taking these meds for more period to restore liver function further?
Evion is also not required if you dont have chronic liver disease. Heptral is expensive nothing.
Heptral marketers 🏃♀️🏃♀️
Sir what about using man matters gummies??
Sir...i use .. omega 3 .. supplement...is that....ok.. please 🙏🏻 reply..sir
Is L arginine is good or bad?
What about gokshura?
True many doctors especially skin and eye specialists prescribe such health supplements
Can you make a video on how doctors instead of being guided by their experience and evidence recommend stuff that is religious or cultural
Yes, Understand
Thanks Doc...
For saving my life..
Would have gone to buy meds prescribed for tinnitus. I checked and it had Green tea extracts.
Please avoid green tea extracts based meds 🙏❤️
