Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your ultrasound report explains the cause for elevated liver enzymes. Going on a detox program is futile and is not going to aid the treatment of this problem. You need to be treated for the fatty liver. Only then will the liver enzymes come to normal. The treatment protocol for fatty liver needs to be followed meticulously for at least 6 months. Then only can one expect recovery.
With regards
