Guest guest Posted May 27, 1999 Report Share Posted May 27, 1999 Hi Bernard, I can only give you my experience with Milk Thistle. I read a few months ago that it helped protect the liver from toxins, or anything that could damage the liver's cells. I had been taking is now and then, but I started taking it every day, along with Dandelion Root, and each monthly liver enzyme test since then has been better, almost to normal, even before I started my interferon. I know Milk Thistle can't cure Hep C, but if there's any chance of it protecting the liver from harm, I'm all for it. Take care, Marie in Fla.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 1999 Report Share Posted May 30, 1999 Hi everyone! Does anyone know the dosage for the milk thistle? My doctor doesn't really know. He said to ask the pharmacist but maybe someone here may know better...also the dandelion root? Thanks for your help! in Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 1999 Report Share Posted May 30, 1999 Scooby, Just go to: http://www.drweil.com Search for hepatitis c. He say's you should follow the directions on the bottle! Or...take two capsules twice a day! That's what I use! Two twice a day! I have noticed some activity in the liver area since taking the milk thistle for a few day's now! Kinda like some foaming/gas action going on in the liver! Has anyone experienced this activity while using milk thistle?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi all and hope everyone is starting off this new year well. I stick my 2 cents in all the time but I have a question for more experienced bandsters. First off I was 4/17/06 and have lost 62 lbs. My band is filled w/3ccs. I have been loosing slowly and steadily and have been having minimum problems for the last six months(last fill). My question is: Can you be at a sweet spot for a period of time and then it no longer works? I thought for sure I'd stay here for the rest of my life, but I've noticed food obsessions creeping in slowly. I can eat more and I think about it more often. Slowing down even more than usual isn't working and am waking up hungry!. I know I need a fill but wondering when do you stop getting fills? Do you need tweaking forever? Just when I thought I knew how deal completely this happens! Thanks all!! PS: Once you get a fill does it remain exactly or does it dissipate at all?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 > > Once you get a fill does it remain exactly or does it dissipate at all?> I'm three years out and I lost my " sweet spot " several times, meaning I needed more fill. I believe the number one reason is fat gets stored around the organs and probably there was some under my band when it was placed. I've seen videos of the band surgery and it's tough enough to place the band without trying to scrape away fat from underneath it. I went to Bodies and saw a cross section of an obese woman. There were fat stores everywhere packed around her organs. Anyway, I believe as my body used up the stores under my band, it got loser and required more fill. One time there was an air bubble in my band and when they went to check how much fill was in there, they found less. That only happened once, fairly early on. I've had about seven fills, I think. About a year ago my Doc tried to take me to 2.4cc and that was too full then. But later 2.4 was fine and now, I'm at 2.6cc. Hope this helps. R.
