Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hepatitis causes the liver to be inflammed and unable to function normally. In hep c, causes damage to the liver. Milk thistle contains a flavonoid that aids in healing and rebuilding the liver. It has been shown to lower liver enzymes and reverse damage. Milk thistle supports phase 1 detox of the liver, which is one half of the picture. It is important to support phase 2 because phase 2 helps the toxins convert to a less harmful toxin and move out of the liver and out of the body. The required nutrients for phase 2 liver detoxification are amino acids glutamine, glycine, taurine & cysteine. Also the phytochemicals found in garlic or cruciferous vegetables help with phase 2. Eating healthy is so important because is lessens the load the liver has to keep up with. Other nutrients such as SAMe, Alpha Lipoic acid, an amino acid complex, and Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) help protect the liver. courtney banner <yentrouc829 wrote: Hi Matt, Hey thanks for your response.I reallly do try to watch what I eat.But excersize in not in my schedule..But I agree, if I don't take the milk thistle for a day or so I just get so lethargic. I have increased my dosage of 2- 175 mg in the morning to also the 2 of them at night... Just out of curiosity, are you under a physican's care. I don't have any health insurance so it's up to me to treat it on my own.I try to do and learn the best I can. Again, thanks, courtney Matt <mjbrecording0011 wrote: Hi, I was diagnosed with Hep C about 6 years ago. Since then I have religiously taken 6 capsules in the morning and 8 at night. I have found this to be of tremendous benefit in additiona to eating correctly and exercising on a regular basis. I can't tell you to take it I can just share my experiance with it. If I don't take it I get tired and sick feeling. I hope this helps, Good Luck, , " pat_puma007 " <pat_puma007 wrote: > > , " yentrouc829 " > <yentrouc829@> wrote: > > > > I have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C a few years ago.
