There is no consensus among hepatologists about taking mik thistle, so for that reason I wouldn't do it.
That said, there are members here who have reported that their hepatologists had no problem with their patients taking it.
Some hepatologists say it's okay to take only before or after treatment itself and some say it's even okay to take during treatment.
I would definitely look to the advice of your own hepatologist in this matter, if you want to pursue it.
i have been taking milk thistle for years now... my ast/alt are lower than ever (just about normal) and my viral load has dropped also...
so i guess its doing something...
i also just started taking liv-52...
Also, milk thistle is generally a good herbal remedy, but again, it should be manufactured for dogs, not for human consumption. There are issues with milk thistle, so make sure you consult your vet and get their approval first. Milk thistle will not necessarily treat the issue causing the high liver counts, but it may help protect the liver from further damage.
I forgot to tell you after you go to mayo clinic review of milk thistle you go to the site that says Milk Thistle and under that it has Mayo Clinic and it does give a web address
www.mayoclinic.com/health/silymarin/NS-patient-milkthistle/ I tried it and can't get there so it is easier to just do it like I said.
I've been getter this pain on and off for well over a year now. Its in the centre, upper area of my abdomen. It's very much a dull, constant pain, and feels like something is inflamed. I always lose my appetite until it passes. I've never figured anything that triggered it, however drinking water and curling up into a ball generally helps. I would always feel it after drinking, and be rather hungover when I had drunk much less compared to my friends.
My experience with milk thistle was a miracle.Before starting the hcv treatment hubby took milk thistle just for a month and it reduced his alt ast levels from above 150 to 65 and 60......Dnt take heavy dose just 400mg a day and if it dnt give any benefits it will also dnt harm.......it's very safe............
We do have the right to express our opinions, with a few exceptions, health matters being one of them, that arena needs peer reviewed science. Did I miss something regarding milk thistle? The main point seems to be milk thistle "walls" off the live preventing it from doing its job.
I am planning on going back to get another blood test soon, however, wanted to share with the group that I started taking Milk Thistle about three weeks ago to see whether this might help lower my enzyme levels to normal. What I have been finding is that I no longer need to take the prilosec or zantac, there is something (or appears to be something) in the Milk Thistle that is both helping me feel better as well as well as lowering my need for prilosec or other antacids.
s Way Brand Milk Thistle, which - according to the packaging - contains 175 mg Milk Thistle extract (seed), 80% silymarin; and 180 mg Blessed Thistle (stern, leaf, flower). Is this safe? Is it helpful? Is there any kind of sensation at the liver site which indicates that you need to seek medical help immediately? I've read on the forum that some people actually experience bleeds. Does this manifest as bruising, or can it happen w/o any visible indications?
I was diagnosed with Hep-c and Cirrhosis on Jan.5th 2015.....both Chronic ? My viral load is 676 , my meld score is 12....I have no idea what any of this means ? I'm 54 years old ! I have no insurance and Ive been turned down from Medicaid 2 times...Which means No G.I. Doctor , in fact no Dr. at all but a Primary Doctor at a clinic here in Savannah Ga. ! He informed me he knows absolutely nothing about liver disease's etc.
