Re: Milk thistle, I'm confused

[Guest guest]

Milk thistle is not a chelator, it is liver support. It increased bile output

from what I hear. Completely safe to take with amalgams or with other supps.

I take what's recommended on the bottle as a daily dose. I have liver issues

myself. We give the kids half the adult dose.

Subject: [ ] Milk thistle, I'm confused

 

I still have the amalgams. Do I use milk thistle or not? Does it chelate the

mercury, moving it around and will make me sicker and so I wait to use the milk

thistle till AFTER removal of the amalgams or do I use it before? I need

something to support my liver, but I don't want to chelate it yet due to the

amalgams still in. If I can use it BEFORE removal, how much is good to use? I

have the dropper kind, not capsules. It's 2,000 mg per 56 drops.

Oh, also, would I take this say 2 hours away from a current medicine I take so

it won't pull out that med I am on?

Any help on this would be appreciated... I can't figure out if is a chelator

like alpha lipoic acid???

TJ,

Thanks for your response My bottle says 2,000 mg is a dropperful. And it says

there are 15 of those in the bottle. Is that about how much you take daily...

2,000 mg?

Also, I was reading a site on dosage for milk thistle and they say:

" Glutathione; a vital substance for the detoxification of the liver. In one

study, milk thistle use raised the glutathione levels in the body more than 30%;

this in turn meant that the liver was more effective at cleansing the body and

eliminating toxic substances. "

So, since I am doing the low sulfur / thiol diet and not supposed to have added

glutathione, I'm wondering if the milk thistle is good for me then???

find out, because my son needs to stay close alert on gluet..figurs

You might want to ask a Naturopath doctor.
