Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Milk Thistle is a natural herb-- and you can get it in capsule or tea forms. What it does is detoxify the liver-- and with all the drugs we're on, it really helps keep those liver enzymes in check. I learned about it when a massage therapist whom I loved dearly was fighting the late effects of childhood hodgkins. She was one of the first 7 kids to ever get radiation back in the '60's-- and since they felt high dose radiation was the way to go-- she had severe scarring throughout her body. Her liver was in bad shape, due to all the meds, radiation, etc, and eventually she developed liver cancer. Her oncologist told her to take Milk Thistle as he had seen it reverse cirrhosis of the liver as well as cancer. By the time she passed away, her liver wass in excellant condition, but the cancer had spread throughout her body. I have been using it for years now, and even with all the immunosupressants, my liver enzymes are normal. And yes, I do have sarc in my liver. You can get Milk Thistle capsules anywhere they sell health foods, and as far as dose- it is water soluble, so what you don't need you pee out. I take 600mg tablets throughout the day, usually about 3000 mg daily. Sincerely, Tracie NS Co-owner/moderator Checking in Lots going on and not a lot of time to spend.. but I've had a couple more trips to the Emergency Room over the last 2 weeks and I'm getting pretty scared.. They all seem to agree that its "NOT MY SACOID" but they refuse to draw any blood because they say that that's the initial way to diagnosis sarcoid but not the way to test for a flare.. but yet again they can not tell me how to check for that.. I know that's total "BS" my MRI without contrast is negative.. I can't have the contrast because my renal profile is high.. that alone should throw up a red flag that maybe, "SARCOID" has now entered into my kidneys.. I am freaking out!! Tracie, you will be glad to know tha my diabetic doctor realizes I have fallen into the "Vanderbilt Hole" and I saw a new PCP on Friday outside the system.. she says all this could be my sarcoid.. but it could be Arterial Vasculitis.. that is causing my vertigo, the pain and the horrilbe ringi ng/distorted sounds in my r ear.. and my vision is horrible. she says if this is the arterial vasculitis and left untreated I will go blind.. OMG!! and get this.. the blood test that she drew was "crp" and "sed rate" the very two test that I have been begging Vanderbilt doctors to draw for months and they refuse... because they are certain that its not the sarcoid.. plus they also told me.. that "for you, there is no futher treatment for it" Now for the rest of the story.. my email is gonna have to change for a couple of weeks.. I've changed it in yahoo so I should be getting the emails ok.. if not my address is topdatster (AT) gmail (DOT) com or stopdat2005@ yahoo.com.. seems I forgot to pay the bill... and not being this far into the month I don't have the money to pay it till next month.. ohh yeah, please I am on disability and "WANT" to be.. "NOT"!! Could somebody please take me off this train? I want OFF!Sorry guys, for the rant.. as I've mentioned I think. I'm am freaking totally out.. can't get anyone to help me yet.. but hopefully I will soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
