Guest guest Posted September 2, 1999 Report Share Posted September 2, 1999 Sara Milk thistle and dandelion are both safe for nursing moms .My newsletter #4 talks all about this. I decided to do dandelion because I don't think it's quite as " potent " as milk thistle, so because the baby didn't need as deep of cleansing as I did, I decided to go a little more gentle. (I'll do milk thistle when I'm done nursing) But the dandelion is good for babe too. Remember, even babies get toxins built up and filtered through their liver just from the air we breathe! Why not get a head start and keep their liver clean now - easier to get it in them now then trying to get a three year old to take it, because it's a bitter herb. It also is high in iron, which is also a plus for nursing. I take it in capsule form from a good quality company, like Nature's Herbs. Don't have any of my books to let you know what Blessed Thistle is for. Get the book " Prescription for Nutritional Healing " - it's a must! Excellent for questions on herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 1999 Report Share Posted September 2, 1999 i forgot to mention that lemon and olive oil together are a wonderful, gentle liver cleanse. 1 tablespoon olive oil to 1/4 of a lemon's juice. do this in the morning on an empty stomach and wait 1/2 to eat. I would do this for at least 1 week. - stacy -- On Thu, 2 Sep 1999 20:23:04 DeMaio wrote: >Sara > >Milk thistle and dandelion are both safe for nursing moms .My newsletter >#4 talks all about this.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 <<Hi Juni, Dandelion is good for your liver and it's on the O " HB " list.>> Roasted dandelion root tea is yummy! It's often used as a coffee substitute. I like to mix it in with Teeccino (another coffee substitute) as I find blending the two gives the most coffee-like flavor.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 To benefit the liver it is better to use just the plain dandelion root and steep for 10 mins then drink by itself. >From: " Waldman, Dianne " <dwaldman@...> >Reply-egroups > " 'egroups' " <egroups> >Subject: RE: Dandelion >Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 15:47:19 -0800 > ><<Hi Juni, > Dandelion is good for your liver and it's on the O " HB " list.>> > >Roasted dandelion root tea is yummy!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Moon: Thanks for the dandilion directions. I forwarded that message to our friend who takes the tablets religiously. Tree (Re Woodstock--we were among the fools who actually sent away for tickets. Got about 2 hs away on the NJ turnpike, which was a like a parking lot. We turned around and went home. Still have the tickets though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Hello, You know - I've done so much research with alternatives for hepatitis C - and I'm amazed that I've never read about Dandlion having a high iron content so I really do question this. I did write the woman that started the subject and didn't get a reply. I poked my nose into a bunch of my text books and didn't come up with it either? I do know that some herbs ie: yellow dock that is used for the liver do have a natural high iron content and I've avoided it. I will NOT be dropping dandelion out've my protocol until I can see that its high in iron in print. As dandelion truly helps with digestion which takes the stress off a challenged liver. Now, what has been suggested to me and that I take every day no matter what is something called COLOSTRUM Colostrum is a naturl immune stimulant - it stimulates our TCells that go after the HCV virus. And the fresher the colostrum is - the quicker its collected the higher an ingredient called Lactopherin is in it. Lactopherin is a naturl 'iron binding protein.' Why is this so important/good for hepC - well it works like a magnet in our liver - attracting iron and pulling it out've our liver and back into the bloodstream where its needed. We do need iron, especially women - just not building up in our liver. Just a suggestion. Feel free to email me anytime if you have questions. Have a great week everyone! Love, ===== I said to a man who stood at the gate of the year; " Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. " And he replied, " Go out into the darkness and put your hand in the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Hi Teri here I was talking to my Be In Charge nurse and she said Dandlion is very high in iron and that almost all dark green vegs. are high in iron and they shouldn't be eaten or taken in supplements if you have Hep C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Dear listmates, In the Andy's book, I read that both Chlorella and Dandelion are toxic for mercury poisoned person. I understand the reason of toxicity of Chlorella, but do not know why Dandelion is toxic? I heard a recomendation once to take Dandelion Root http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Dandelion-Root-500-mg-100-Capsules/545?at=0 for the liver support. Is it not safe? Why? Thanks in advance!

It was very helpful to my son, at the time he could not tolerate milk thistle. I guess his Liver Phase II was too slow then and accelerating Phase I did no good to him.
