I have gone through most of the thread but I missed a few pages so I apologize if the question has already been asked. But is this supplement capable of reversing fibrosis once it has occured elsewhwere besides the liver and lungs? Theoretically if it can do it in those places it should be able to do it elsewhere but the studies showed a blocking of fibrosis as opposed to a reversal? I ask this, because if so, it seems like this could be useful in the reversal Male pattern baldness. (If this is the case, a combination of topical caffeine i.e. Solban, this product and either mianserin or ketotifen could possibly stop and hairloss till the microbiota is adjusted to eliminate gram negarive tlr4 activation and allow reoxygenation of the scalp by de-fibrosing the galea. The defibron could aid in the de-fibrosing with red light and massage. The soban inhibits the effects of DHT on the follicle. The ketotifen to block TLR4).
Also, perhaps the effects people are seeing in the gut from this could be from increased bile acid secretion, if taken internally, creating an anti-bacterial effect in the small intestine (in conjunction with the liver benefits as well)? Perhaps some of the endotoxin effects are from this as well, due to the killing of the bacteria from the bile acid leading to the release of endotoxin and the absorption with the fatty acid as a "lipid-raft" via the chylomicrons to the liver.
Here are some studies on SFA actually reversing liver cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse, even in the presence of continued drinking.
