Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Dana & ML,I was looking in my herbal reference book Nutritional Herbology: A Reference Guide to Herbs by Mark Pedersen and according to the milk thistle profile, milk thistle is used to increase breast milk production. So wouldn't it be safe to take while breast feeding? I also looked up "blessed thistle" which is what is found in most "mother's milk teas" and that does a similar thing but has nothing to do with the liver. I scanned the page from my book for you to check out. Let me know your thoughts, because if it is safe to use while breastfeeding I would love to start right away! For the tincture do you recommend any particular brand?To: erythema_nodosum_Group From: littlesumo@...Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 21:18:43 -0800Subject: Re: THANK YOU!!!! Dana,Oh, I forgot to say re: my recent reply... if you are breast feeding you should not take Milk Thistle. Wait till you are done.best,ml ML Gemmill ,,Pat,Kimberely and the group in general,Thank you sooooo much for your response. I am normally a pretty strong person but this is really hitting me to the core emotionally. My babies are 12months(still breastfeeding working on breaking her but she is determined to hang on lol) and a 5 year old. My life litteraly revolves around them. I am so thankful to have a wonderful husband who also wants me home with them. But i now feel like a burden to him. He works crazy hours and comes home to help out with cooking,cleaning and the kids and then me. I can not recall ever feeling so blue. I know people have it much worse than I and I try to remember all the things I am blessed to have.My knots had started turning purple after the e.r. visit of which they gave me 1000mg of solumederal but now some are turning red again and very hard is this common? I am currently taking 500mg of Naproxen 2x a day. I know the dr and others have told me it could take weeks and even months for this to clear up. I was just wondering during this time do they come and go?Thank you again for lisenting. Will keep all of you in my prayers,Dana Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection.
