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 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.

Avatar f tn I have some info on my profile about breastfeeding as a form of birth control. It's in my 'journals'. My midwife told me that estrogen free birth control is the safest while nursing. Estrogen can dry up your milk and if it doesn't, might cause issues with baby. Estrogen free versions include the paragaurd iud, the depo shot, and the 'mini pill' (progesterone only daily pill). I'd definitely decide what you want to do before baby comes!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn How long after you have a baby can you get on birth control?
Avatar f tn Are you sure about the Milk Thistle restriction while on Incivek? St. Johns Wort is prohibited, but I've never heard that about Milk Thistle...
Avatar m tn Some other popular herbs or food to help increase breast milk are Asparagus, Ipomea, blessed thistle, nettle, anise, dill, fennel, goat’s rue, raspberry, and alfalfa. There are a few other herbs but these are the most popular. Lastly, there are certain foods and drugs can cause a reduction in breast milk or make your baby not like the taste of your breast milk. It is best to avoid certain spices in large quantities. Spices such as Garlic, Sage, Parsley, Peppermint, and Thyme can cause problems.
Avatar f tn Add milk thistle to your daily routine. Milk thistle is an herb that protects liver cells and promotes their healthy regeneration. When purchasing milk thistle, get it from an established and respected health store or pharmacy. Drink more water. Water helps flush toxins out of the body, and toxins can bog down the liver and impair its function.
Avatar m tn 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.

2105146 tn?1334593783 Does anyone know if milk thistle is good, bad, or of no effect? I read somewhere that it is helpful for liver problems so started taking it. I won't see my dr. for almost three months so can't ask him until then.
Avatar n tn ve been searching everything I can and saw sites that say milk thistle helps protect the liver from damage. Just wondering if anybody is using this?
