Questions about milk thistle and timing of flushes with the menstrual cycle.

[Guest guest]

I had gallbladder sludge, fatty infiltration of the liver (both dx

from an u/s) and elevated liver enzymes (the blood test that led to

the u/s being ordered.) After doing a few flushes, the ultrasound was

repeated and I still have the fatty liver but my gallbladder is clean.

My liver enzymes remain high.

I read that the herbal remedy milk thistle can help heal the liver,

and I'm wondering if anybody here has taken it. I bought a bottle of

milk thistle capsules. How often should I be taking it, at what

dosages, and how long should I continue? Should I skip the herb on a

day I do a flush?

If I do a liver/gb flush about once a month, when in my menstrual

cycle would work best? Any ladies have any input on this?

Great plan - milk thistle is safe & excellent for liver. I take 300 mg. a day,

divided doses of 175 mg. each. Vitamin Shoppe (online) sells a good product.

Have you noticed a difference since you started taking milk thistle?
