Re: Milk Thistle - for disolving gallstones?

[Guest guest]

In searching through one of my herbal books, I have found that Milk Thistle

is used for all sorts of liver ailments, including the prevention and

treatment of gallstones. Has anyone used this? Has anyone experienced good

results with it?

Jay, yeah, I take it. Right now I'm taking Dr. Cabot's Livatone, which has

Milk Thistle in it. When I'm out of the Livatone, I still take Milk Thistle.

It's good stuff. I also have found out that in my case, magnesium helps.

Sometimes I take magnesium chelate and sometimes magnesium citrate. I get

magnesium caps from the health food store that's a Solaray product. I take 1

cap three times a day.

Thank you Dawn.

The information that you provided corresponds to what my herb books relate

but it is often difficult to extract what herbs should do, to what they

actually do. Milk thistle appears to be relatively cheap, and while I don't

have the symptoms of a liver disorder, one of my current focus's (foci?) is

detoxing my liver and cleaning up my GB. I feel that the heavy duty GB

flushes that I've been doing in the last couple of months have been very

beneficial and will be relating in a couple of days just a bit on my most

recent experiences I think that I'll do the MT for a while also.

Thanks again,

Jay

His number still show the infection, but he told me himself that he

feels fabulous. Dawn

Yes, I have a Milk Thistle herb combination that I use. It is

quite good. The benefits of Milk Thistle are fairly well

documented. I don't use it as faithfully as I should, however,

so am not certain that I am getting the full benefits...your

email may be just the encouragement I need to get back

with it :-)
