Whatever you try, I think it's important to go slow. Depending on the state of your liver, a lot of toxins can be released and might be too much to handle all at once.

You might want to try proteolytic enzymes for gall bladder / liver cleansing. Serrapeptase, nattokinase...

Go slow- detox effects.

Detox areas that may benefit from proteolytic enzymes...: lymph, organs, plaques, the mucous membranes of lung and intestine.

I have also been doing some research and read up on some studies that used something called URSODEOXYCHOLIC acid and TAUROURSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID (a taurine derivative) which are basically bile acids. There seems to be some success with these medications in dissolving cholestoral gallstones and currently been studied for many other issues.
Ursodeoxycholic acid can have several other benefits where GI dysfunction is involved
