Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Mel, Yeah, I'll go buy some of that Milk thistle. I've had a toe infected with fungus for years, so I'm starting to treat it. It might be related to why they like me. It would be cool if the person posted more about fungal cleanses. I read somewhere that rats can carry up to 18 species of fungus, one of them ringworm. Maybe the mites are somehow involved with the fungus in rat and bird nests and when they attack us, they infect us with the fungus or feed on fungus that's on us.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Howdy . The acronyms always throw me off at first, especially in the morning. I used the leaves of MT only, as I'm not growing this yet but plan to. I've not found this tea to have much flavor in normal use, even with the double bag. My herbal mentor used to say that if you can't taste it, you probably don't need it. The tangy KT overcame the MT flavors completely to me. From fooling around with other herbs though, I'd suggest using a little yerba or other leaf with it. MT brews in normal fashion and good time, unlike nettles which took us a week longer. I'd strongly suspect it to keep the medicinal qualities, but I'm not the best judge for this particular herb. Using MT seeds sounds like a good idea. The Herbal PDR only lists the seeds as medicinal. Have a great day, Mr.! > > Micah, > > I remember that sometime ago you were experimenting with MT. It would be great to know what happened. Did you feel that the Kombucha kept some of the benefits?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The sylimarin(not spelled correctly, I'm sure) in milk thistle seems to prevent absorbtion of the glucuronic acid in Kombucha, the same as it does alchohol. For this reason I do not take them at the same time, personally. Highly recommend the book " Herbal Defense " by Robyn Landis, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Only top secret government Kombucha archivists and people with personal experience. If you're planning to use an herb for other than tonic and taste purposes, it's a good idea to start off using it alone for a couple of weeks. Then you'll be better able to spot a difference in effect when using it with a medium like KT.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 That's a good advice. Thanks Micah. I do believe, though, that there is great potential for lots of discovery and benefit; combining healing herbs/supplements with Kombucha. > > > > > > The sylimarin(not spelled correctly, I'm sure) in milk thistle seems to prevent absorbtion of the glucuronic acid in Kombucha, the same as it does alchohol.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 When you Google it, it seemse to be printed with the " I " & " Y " in both positions In the title here http://www.phytochemicals.info/phytochemicals/silymarin.php and on bottom of page 1 here http://www.herbalsafety.utep.edu/herbs-pdfs/milkthistle.pdf though when you look at the Latin name " I " 1st then " Y " seems to be right. PERSONALLY I'd complain at being called a Silly Bum! DON'T answer that!!! .

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I read in an email in this group that taking milk thistle is a good idea for liver support, but I just read on another site that it can mimic estrogen. Can anyone shed some light on this?Thanks,Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
