herbal treatment for liver

I found this. Any truth to it?

Herbal Treatments
The most commonly used herbs for liver problems include Milk Thistle, Dandelion Root, Licorice Root, and Chicory root.[12]

Milk Thistle [13] is the best studied herb for hepatitis, and has shown to help protect and regenerate liver cells.[14]

Herbal remedies can be fairly controversial.  I personally do use supplements to protect my liver but I am doing so against the advice of my physician.  I have no belief that supplements can cure me.  I'm just hoping to slow my progression.
