Re: Milk Thistle, -breaks down to Reduced L-Glutathione in the Liver

[Guest guest]

Marta, You had stated that you had trouble taking Milk Thistle. I too

couldn't take it but was told by a smart Dr. to take Reduced L-glutathione,

as Milk Thistle causes in the liver to produce the Glutathione which helps

the liver to detoxify. It was the best advise given me. Some of us are not

able to break down the Milk Thistle so that it can have the liver produce

this substance. Prior to taking this I couldn't take antibiotics for an

extended period of time as my liver couldn't detoxify the metabolites. I take

two 150 mg capsules twice daily. It has been a miracle worker for me. I use

Klaire Labs product as it seems to work the best for me. I get the product

from NEEDS a catalog nutrient place their number is 1 (800) 634-1380. The Dr.

who recommended this protocol is a CFIDS DR. but it has helped with my Lyme

medication protocol. Food for thought...... Carol

Hi Carol,

Thanks for this advice, I saw my doctor today and discussed the fact that

I got cramps in my legs when I started taking the Milk thistle and when I

stopped, the leg cramps ceased. He still thinks it may be coincidental, so

I am to try to take them again...if it does give me the leg cramps again, I

will try the L-Glutathione. I printed out your letter to refer back to.

Curious, what side effects did you have when you tried to take the Milk

Thistle without the L-Glutathione? Before I call, can you tell me how much

it will cost for a month's supply?

Hugs,

Marta

Marta, It is not inexpensive I can't actually remember what we pay at needs

but around $24? The ones my Dr. recommended are from Klaire Labs and

N.E.E.D.S. Nutritional Supplements catalog has the best prices. Also they

often have a 30% discount on Klaire Lab, products. I get the 150 mg. of

Reduced L-Glutathione and take two daily. Needs # is 1 800 - 634-1380. The

Milk Thistle wasn't being broken down into L-Glutathione, therefore I still

felt toxic, very little energy, just wanted to lie around most of the time.

The Reduced L-Glutathione is already broken down, therefore the liver doesn't

have to try and take the Milk Thistle and convert it to L-Glutathione which

mine and many other sick livers are not able to do. Let me know how this

product works for you. The DR. who recommended it to me is a CFFIDS DR. But

my LLMD is now understanding how much it has helped me tolerate the

antibiotics. Regards Carol

Thanks Carol,

I am going to try it! Right now I am trying the Cordyceps and Magnesium

Malate, so far so good, my doctor suggested I see how I do on these before I

try to add the Milk thistle again, it may just be coincidental that I had

the leg cramps, and maybe I can handle the Milk thistle OK, anyway, I will

let you know what happens via this list.

Hugs,

Marta
