Hi Debbie,

Welcome. Where do you live in Arkansas? I went to college in Fayetteville. My

son lives with his Dad in Mountain Home.

are good for pancreas function. I bought some milk thistle, but have not

begun taking it because it is good for liver and has not mentioned the

pancreas.>>

Selenium needs Zinc and copper to facilitate it's function. Milk thistle does

primarily improve the function of the liver. It is important to remember that

when the pancreas is injured or having stress the other organs attempt to

take over the functions of the pancreas. Therefore, it is very important that

you remember to nurture and nourish all of the organs in your body,

particularly the liver. I take each one of these herbs. I have had a partial

pancreatectomy and total spleenectomy. The nutritionist and the pain doctor I

see both stated that my liver needs these herbs due to the extra workload

that the liver will be doing.

thanks karyn - about information on herbs

it makes sense that your entire body needs

to be assisted - not just your pancreas.

did all of you start out like i did with

your illness, gradually getting more frequent?

i am from central arkansas, just outside of

Little Rock in a little town called .

just a couple of miles from the geographical

center of the state.

if i feel up to it - my husband and i are

going to hot springs tomorrow to launch a sail

boat for weekend or one-day retreats. quiet, slow

solace on the water.
