Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi I was recommended to use milk thistle to support the liver while on medications like antifungals. Has anyone experienced with that? I would like to know how to give it and how often. My daughter is 3y 8m old and weighs 36 pounds. For your help thank you in advance.

Ximena The SCD™ Knowledge Base http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/milk_thistle.htm Milk Thistle Elaine writes Is it legal or not? I think the SCD™ will accomplish everything milk thistle does and will avoid the side effects including diarrhea, etc. But I have no expertise in herbs and some people swear that some herbs have accomplished amazing results. Considering that the report found on Medline came from controlled research under the auspices of NIH and STILL no conclusive answers, how can I give it my stamp of approval? I realize that most people want " black and white " answers from me. In this case, I cannot say it is illegal because it just might hasten up the process of detoxification of the liver. If you have been using it and there has been no diarrhea and you can see results, then use it.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi, our DAN advised us to give our 5 year old daughter, who weighs around 30 lbs, 5 drops of milk thistle twice a day. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi everyone! I'm new to being GF ... coping currently with getting over shingles (I wonder if it had anything to do with the cleansing effect of the SCDiet???) Now coping with yeast ... etc. [sigh] But I do know herbs (but not in conjunction with SCD). Regarding milk thistle, many, many recovering alcoholics have used it to help heal their livers and it has definitely produced good results for them. One person I know (married to my ex-SIL) even has had Hep C and it's kept him well thus far. Regarding the D effect of it ... well, since I suffer from C most of the time, that makes it sound even better to me!! ;-) Dede Discovered intolerance this summer > > Ximena Adrada xadrada@... > I was recommended to use milk thistle to support the liver while on medications like antifungals.

Now coping with yeast ... etc. >> Are you on SCD? If yes, how long have you been on the diet? I don't recall anyone reporting shingles when starting the diet. I had shingles last year during a period when my immune system was taking a beating. I have since added vit rich foods to help boost my immune system along with regular exercise. <<[sigh] > > But I do know herbs (but not in conjunction with SCD).

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi Sheila! I've been GF now for about 6 weeks -- started the intro diet on SCD about three weeks in -- then last week got shingles. I have Mixed Connective Tissue disease, take plaquenil - immune suppressant, plus low doses of prednisone - so my immune systems is ... well, basically, pretty screwy. This is the fifth time I've had shingles (first time was in the 6th grade - I'm now 58). I didn't follow the SCDiet religiously once I had shingles - but I did avoid gluten ... I live alone and I was (and still am) just too doggone wiped out to do a lot of cooking!!! Don't know if I feel bad because of still recuperating from shingles (I got on meds right away ... but the place of breakout was on my tummy - next to my belly button ... how ironic is that?), or yeast/yeast die off. But I feel bad enough to go to the doctor and go through a test. I've had so many of those lower and upper GI's -- the kind BEFORE they knocked you out. Had a colonoscopy last year - looked OK ( " come back in 5 years " ). So ... if I'm talking about doctors and tests ... you KNOW I'm pretty much worn down. Thanks for answering!!

Since you are on an immunosuppressant you may be more likely to have it. Consider talking with your doctor about ways to prevent it happening repeatedly. I decided one round was enough and after a really " stinky " year I weaned off all meds with doctor knowledge (immunosuppresants that were making me ill), started exercising daily, added in lots of vitamin rich foods, antioxidants etc. and addressed another issue that is sometimes linked with shingles - depression. Hopefully all of this will prevent a relapse. I was very lucky to catch it early this time and got the antivirals immediately. I'd rather not go through it again. <<I didn't follow the SCDiet religiously once I had shingles - but I > did avoid gluten ... I live alone and I was (and still am) just too > doggone wiped out to do a lot of cooking!!!>> I don't remember eating much but DH helped through the worst and I just dumped everything in the pressure cooker when I was up and about. <<Don't know if I feel bad because of still recuperating from shingles (I got on meds right away ... but the place of breakout was on my tummy - next to my belly button ... how ironic is that?), or > yeast/yeast die off.> > But I feel bad enough to go to the doctor and go through a test. > I've had so many of those lower and upper GI's -- the kind BEFORE > they knocked you out.
