Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I would immediately cease taking any supplement that had this reaction. Milk thistle can be toxic to some. Absolutely do not continue taking something that causes this reaction. You could end up much worse than you now are.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Dearest Beth: When things go wrong in the support group, it causes stress for the "Sick Women". I too have had nausea all day today. This is what they want. Please do not let them destroy what our Patty has put in place for us....A Safe Place. I was planning to leave this site, but told me that is what they want. What do you think? I have my own group of sick women and I would never want anyone to hurt them. Just stay close with the women you trust...love you....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``` Milk Thistle and Grape Seed Extract Hi Everyone, I started taking milk thistle and grape seed extract yesterday. Everytime I take it, I get a splitting headache. I was also having strange pains in my liver, spleen and gallbladder area. Is this normal? I was in bed most of the day today sick as a dog. Sick meaning extremely tired and weak in my legs. Before dinner I drank some Flor Essence. For some reason that made me feel better. Does this make any sense to anyone???? Beth S.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Dearest Beth: I'm sorry, but I thought that I had sent the message to you, but it was in a draft. This is the right one and I'm so sorry that you had a bad day yesterday. Our friends did not come because of a severe storm in their area, they will be coming next weekend. It is so hard on me to have family or friends over because I wear down so quickly. Friends are so important, they can help to cheer us up. Honey, please be happy because everything will go back to normal.This has happened many times before and it will probably happen again. I have women here who call and leave nasty messages on our phone. Most of these women are not even in my group! There is a group called ASBI and you should see the insults there, they have been beating on our Ilena for years. I do not know how she can take it, she is a very strong lady....bless her heart. Take care Beth...love you....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Re: Milk Thistle and Grape Seed Extract Which one? This one? Don't mind me. I'm having a blonde day. Thank God my id problems are cleared up. I really think that it was caused by that 'Carolyn' person last night. She sent me a message to my personal e-mail account that contained a link with pictures of Linsey Lohan. Why I clicked on it is beyond me. I'm usually much more cautious than that. Once I clicked on it, that is when the id problems began. Crazy people out there! I'm going to bed, I'm soooo tired! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 beth Those sound like herx symptoms. that is why I said it is best to start one supplement at a time and go slowly. Herxes can be quite strong. I herx by getting a severe headache, vomiting, hurting all over my body and feeling overwhelmingly fatigued and brainfogged. I think you should try one thing first. Drink lots of water and wait until symptoms subside before taking something again. Hugs, kathy --- In , " Beth S.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hi Kathy, The lady in the health food store told me to take 2 of the milk thistle. After I got so sick, I cut back on just one. Headache wasn't so severe and went away pretty fast. The fatigue is pretty bad but well worth it if it is working!mikat828 <mikat828@...> wrote: bethThose sound like herx symptoms. that is why I said it is best to start one supplement at a time and go slowly.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 - Beth that is good to hear. I have a hard time tolerating milk thistle among many other things! It is however, an excellent supplement and I highly recommend it. It is very protective to the liver and detoxifying also. Good luck Hugs, kathy -- In , " Beth S.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'm hoping it works for me. I waited a bit too long to start the detoxing process but I guess it is better late than never.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Beth I know the feelings. Sometimes I wish that I could just go away for a month to some detox place where all I had to do was concentrate on detoxing. As you said, there is always too much going on and there is never time to feel like crap which I do when I detox. So I never really push as hard as I could because I can't just suffer from terrible symptoms for days or weeks at a time. And yet, I know that I need to keep pushing the detox. It is a delicate balance! Hugs, kathy > > > Hi Everyone, > > > > > > I started taking milk thistle and grape seed extract yesterday. > > Everytime I take it, I get a splitting headache.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi Beth, Yes, this makes a lot of sense. It sounds like you are very toxic and really NEED to detox. Take it very slowly, taking very small doses to start until you tolerate them well and gradually increase up to a full dose. Also, drink lots of water. Kenda Hi Everyone, I started taking milk thistle and grape seed extract yesterday. Everytime I take it, I get a splitting headache. I was also having strange pains in my liver, spleen and gallbladder area. Is this normal? I was in bed most of the day today sick as a dog. Sick meaning extremely tired and weak in my legs.
