Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I think is a scary thing that doctors very often don't agree. I have been studying the rise and fall of homeopathic medicine. It is something I was very mislead about.(I don't think milk thistle is homeopathy, I'm just giving an example) It actually was at one time becoming very mainstream in Europe. I was going to take milk thistle, but in the end I was too afraid and didn't know who to trust. I'm very glad it has worked well for you, . I'm quite sure that you are the best judge if your own bodyn and if it were causing you harm, or not helping, you'd know.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Good. I've been kept busy this past month at work. We prepped for and had our Operational Readiness Inspection. I had been working twelve hour shifts for almost a month in prep for that. So by the time I got home from work I would read the posts but was to tired to do a lot research or post. I'm glad that's finally over. Now things can start getting back to normal! MaC robwalkingeagle@... wrote: Well, now there you are. Haven't heard from you in a dog's age. How are you?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hello Group, I have been using milk thistle almost daily for 2 years. I have found that it does help, especially with inflammation.
