Herbal supplements blamed for Texas woman's liver failure


Doctors believe a health supplement is to blame for a 23-year-old Texas woman's sudden, acute liver failure. “I have my life because someone gave me their liver and I’m just so thankful,” she told the news station. Goss’ doctor, Jeffrey Weinstein, who is medical director of Liver Transplantation and Hepatobiliary Services at the hospital, said that while the herbal supplements may be marketed as healthy additions to a diet, they are often unregulated by the FDA. Goss’ case is not the first documented instance of supplements causing damage to the liver and other internal organs. It was not clear how long Goss had been taking the supplements before she noticed her symptoms.
