Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Thanks for the suggestion of Milk Thistle Tina! I just reordered the Pro Dophilus & Digestive Enzymes and decided to try the Milk Thistle. I signed up for the auto delivery program -- really can't beat the price & FREE shipping!!!!!! Their service is A+, ordered last time on a Friday -- stuff was here on Monday. Kind of silly -- but I like the containers they arrive in too!! The RA meds I'm on can greatly affect liver function (methotrexate) although my blood is monitored regularly for abnormalities, I want to make sure my liver is functioning well. I found a new doctor through another group -- (the N.E. Thyroid Groups) -- and have an appointment for July 7 -- it's a woman dr. that prescribes ARMOUR, and is on mine & Joe's health plan -- I'm very excited! I'll have to drive an hour and a half but I don't care! Have a great weekend -- hope things are calming down for you!! Is M home? got home Thursday ) milk thistle---this one works too---buy two get one free--- immunesupport.com ·Contains the potent extract silymarin for natural liver support ·Provides potent antioxidant protection ·Promotes cleansing of toxic agents from the body Milk thistle is a natural liver detoxifier that contains a powerful compound called silymarin, which has been found to defend the liver from many industrial toxins such as carbon tetrachloride, and more common agents like alcohol. Pro Health's Milk Thistle Complex includes Choline and Inositol to promote fat and cholesterol metabolism, and Vitamin C and E for improved antioxidant protection. The U.S. National Library of Medicine has catalogued more than 300 scientific studies of milk thistle and its active compounds. One study at a liver institute in France discovered milk thistle's two main actions. First, it helps decrease the conversion of the carbon tetrachloride into more toxic substances, and secondly, milk thistle acts as a potent antioxidant that inhibits these toxic compounds from harming healthy liver cells. It's hard to overstate the importance of the liver to our general health. The second largest organ in the body after the skin, it processes all nutrients, toxins, and any other substances entering the body through the intestines, lungs, or skin. The liver is responsible for detoxification, including the natural toxins in food, as well as synthetic chemical substances in food, water, and air. It helps promote balanced blood fat and sugar levels, and is essential to virtually every aspect of metabolism. It has been called the third most important organ in the body, after the brain and the heart. Heavy metals can cause liver toxicity and damage through the production of free radicals. Silymarin has also been shown to promote strong and healthy liver tissue. Pro Health's Milk Thistle Complex is the right choice for anyone looking for a complete liver support formula. Optimize your liver health and further cleanse your body by taking this potent detoxifier.
