    So, how do you know if your liver and kidneys are functioning properly? What are the signs that you do need a doctor? (like the infographic shows)... I have a very strong aversion to doctors, so finding a problem at a 'regular' checkup is not going to happen. Are there mild warning signs/symptoms that show up before toxicity levels are dangerous? And, what would y'all consider good preventative care? I like that I stumbled on a thread that might help me figure some things out, so tia!

    I should note, I have had several (nurses) people in my family and church comment on my yellow complexion in the last few months, but I really believe it is because I started eating more orange/yellow veggies. Thoughts?

    Unless you have been eating tonnes of carrots you should go to your doctor because jaundice is one of those warning signs

    Definitely, skin yellow is generally a solid warning sign.

    No sorry I got messaged by a couple people saying that's dumb and all sorts of stuff. I wasn't referring to anyone on here. Thanks for all the advice guys!

    Sorry people are pming you. That's not right. Thanks for posting--you don't know how many "lurkers" are out there. They follow the forums, but don't post and you will have saved someone else from buying the stuff.

    Also do you have a hard time doing activities you could do easily before? Like do you get winded going up stairs and stuff when you didn't before? Friend of mine had kidney failure, he thought he was just getting sick or something. Go see a doctor if you haven't had a checkup in a while. For reals. Get some basic bloodwork done. You wanna be there for your family even if you have an 'aversion' to doctors.

    Yep, see a doctor. Do you drink alcohol or take a lot of medication? Are your eyes discolored too? My skin has a yellowish appearance, but that's only because I'm around the UV lights of my bearded dragon tanks.

    It may be the vegetables...an ungodly amount of them.
