Avatar f tn But the BEST is Milk Thistle. I took Milk Thistle 1000mg 2 to 3 a day and I know that is what got my liver to heal as much as it could. Look up Milk Thistle and you will be pleasantly surprised with how much they are finding Milk Thistle is good for you.Milk thistle is sometimes used as a natural treatment for liver problems.

Avatar f tn I've been taking milk thistle for about 2 years now after doing some research about herbs and HCV. Its always been the same brand. GNC's standardized milk thistle 200mg. I can't say I take it everyday, maybe every other day and during those busy periods of time I forget to take it for weeks on end. What I have noticed is that milk thistle has a very prominent affect on my mood - almost to the point where google diagnosis made me think I have bipolar disorder.

Avatar f tn I had MILK THISTLE since than and my new ALT and AST as of July 27th are 37 and 23. Either you say its miracle that they got that low even thought my viral load 1.8 million per liter of blood. Or this milk thistle really works. Has anyone else tried milk thistle before and had improved results with their enzyme’s levels? And, What is the treatment for lower ALT and AST and high Viral load? .
Avatar n tn Why are you considering taking milk thistle? Do you have liver disease? Milk thistle hasn’t really shown much in the way of clinical evidence of being effective for treating liver injury.
Avatar f tn the best thing is to take all antioxidants, not only milk thistle and change food to all fresh organic, no processed food with chemicals
Avatar f tn Additionally, it may actually prevent the treatment from being effective. Bottom line is follow the tested and validated guidelines and drop the milk thistle.

Avatar f tn Has anyone used Milk Thistle for slightly elevated enzymes, and, if so, did it lower them? I've read and heard that Milk Thistle is very good for liver function, and, can protect and possibly even help the liver "regenerate", especially if the problem is "fatty liver." Anyone know or have experience with Milk Thistle? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Hi, Peteshine, nice to meet you. Sorry it has to be under these conditions but onward and upward, right? Following your standard healthy diet that's high in vegetables and whole grains and low in processed foods, red meats and sugars is a good bet. It can get more specific. Certain whole grains may be better than others, for example. gauf, from the Hep C board has a journal entry under his profile that discusses a liver friendly diet.
Avatar m tn Milk Thistle is a standardized herb and the recommended amount is 175mg caps or tablets 2 to 3 times daily. There has never been any proof that this stuff works and you can pick it up at most drug stores. That just means you don't have to buy it online as that could be pricey. What MT has been proven to do is make some ppl think that they are getting better, not. The HepC still progresses and does it's damage.
Avatar f tn I've read a couple new things on grapefruit. And the old standby of Milk Thistle. If anybody has any good urls on this, or info, or experience, could you post please? Besides wanting to start right away getting in best shape possible, I would like to give my body any chance for stopping possible progression.
Avatar f tn t know of any contraindications of meds and milk thistle, but it is wise to ask a pharmacist and/or go on line and find the drug interaction websites.
Avatar f tn Hi! I'm glad to hear the comment you posted about taking milk thistle and it helping acid reflux. I just started taking a a couple of days ago and it seems like I have less heartburn also. I have been only taking the milk thistle a few days so I don't think I'm getting the maximum effect yet.

Avatar n tn Can a person with fibrosis take Legalon? Milk Thistle? Can it cause any problem? Does it help reduce fibrosis?
Avatar m tn I am not an expert but will tell you that an increase in estrogen made me have SEVERE mood swings. Also, Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle are used to help you produce breast milk. I nursed three babies :) It's possible that this product will ENHANCE your milk ducts, making your breasts bigger. NOT saying you will leak milk. If it works...ingenious idea. Hope someone else can help you.
Avatar m tn ll give you information regarding Cirrhosis and your labs. Your viral load is not indicative of liver damage and is important if and when you should choose to treat the HCV. In terms of Milk Thistle, it's not going to hurt you by any means, but don't kid yourself into thinking it's the magic elixir for HCV and Cirrhosis, either. Read this article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK11896/ You really need to be under doctor's care at this point.
