The Toxicity Questionnaire
Serious harm to the liver caused by drugs, and by
the combination of drugs and other substances is an important public health
problem. As Americans ingest combinations of prescription and
over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, dietary supplements and alcohol,
the possibilities for harm and liver injury increases. Many of these
products are chemicals that are processed and detoxified by the liver. These
chemical processes may produce substances that injure liver cells in some
people and result in impaired liver functioning. The Toxicity Questionnaire
is designed to aid the practitioner in assessing a patient or client's
potential need for a liver detoxification Program.
