Is this recommended on a juice fast? I hear it also serves as a pretty powerful laxative, but its known to have a tremendous effect on the bowels in terms of cleansing. I could use both at the moment I think, but is there fiber in the juice or any extra work for the liver/kidneys?

You're not supposed to take it for a long period of time, so let's say once or twice a week during my fast. Would this be wise?

As for Milk Thistle, if I juice the actual plant/herbs will that have the same effect as taking a liver supplement. I'm getting a liver supplement online and it's on its way, but I've read it's best during the first few days so I was wondering if I picked up some Milk Thistle and juiced it for now if it would have the same effect or not? Can I even juice that?

Thanks!

Lionchaser, I hope someone answers this bc I just read about all of the amazing benefits of using aloe vera and have the same questions. I don't reallly think that it could hurt, but still, I'm not totally sure.
