milk thistle dose shile on

[babyear]

An interventional radiologist at the hospital where my wife works recommends to his patients with decreased and/or compromised liver function to take milk thistle along with whatever medications he's prescribed for their recovery. This doctor is world-reknowned, so that's good enough for me to use it, especially when taking orals. 960mgs daily divided into 2 doses.

I think he meant the milk thistle. If not, he should be shitting out his liver any minute now!

I'm a phlebotomists dream. I get my blood work done every time my quarterly taxes are due. Usually just a cbc, but that is enough info for me. I ordered two cbc's from lef.org, ($35,ea) to do an experiment with liv.52. last year. I had stopped taking milk thistle about a year previouse so that would not be a factor. I do 1000mcg of b12 everyday come rain or shine.
So the stage is set, I have two scripts for cbc's in hand and am going to not change my diet or any other aspect of training/supplements/supersupplements for one month.
Here is what I discovered, liver value on first test was high, SGOT was 46, range is 0-40, and my SGPT was 48, with a range of 0-55.
One month later, my SGOT had dropped to 33, and my SGPT was 40. Looks like liv.52 works for me. I do not represent, endorse, get paid for etc.. Liv.52, just my own test. Of course scientificly there could be a million factors such as solar flairs, the taos hummm.. etc. that could possibly have an effect I did not take into consideration.
My dose of liv.52 was three pills a day, with food spread out through the day.

Dude you can find the Walgreens or CVS or Generic brand for quite a bit less.. Granted its still about 15-20 bucks for half a months dosing. I used it for a while and never noticed the mood effects, I even super dosed at 1000mg 3x a day.. I did have a wonderful liver profile though when I went to get tested..

SAMe to me is all hype.. In the UK they use it as a substitute for prozac/xanax.. I wouldn't waste my money on it..

1000mg am, 1000mg pm of milk thistle while on should be more than enough.

I am only taking 365mg of the similayin extract a day. I am wondering if I should bump it up while on HRT.
