Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi there. A client of mine with Hep c is very concerned about qualities of milkthistle after reading an article on the hep c trust web site has any one any up to date information regarding clinical trials and hep c using milk thistle, and in what form. I have decided to start using powders (00)and making capsules, juices. www.hepctrust.org.uk I have seen her for years using teas and tinctures and she has always done well( ALT levels stable around 45-60) but she recently had a break from herbs and did a clay detox October (i had no experience or advise on the subject). She did a liver function test in December ALT levels (which show damage being done in the liver) had rocketed from the usual level of 45 up to 465 which is 15 times over the normal limit the nurse thought this may have caused damage to the liver as there has been some reports of high levels of lead and arsenic in soil clay has been collected from.??????? She is now back to 90 but feels very unsure about taking anything. I have asked my supplier for test certificates which is taking its time. Any advise in this area would be appreciated . Did the Shisandra in previous mixes keep Alt levels down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
