If your liver is already way overloaded and sluggish I found there was no point killing off candida and releasing more toxins - that just completely overwhelmes the liver even more. I found the best solution was to provide as many nutrients as possible - vits, mins, aminos to help kick start my liver and clear some toxins out (before you release any more). You can find yourself in one big vicious circle if you keep overloading the liver. I would work on your liver and bowel (cleansing) and building up your system first otherwise you may weaken yourself more. With leaky gut your liver is very compromised...there are lots of good liver supports out there that can help.
