Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/TIP02187 The Benefits of Milk Thistle Protection from environmental toxins begins with minimizing your exposure - avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke, eating organic, pesticide-free foods, and reducing your exposure to toxic chemicals are a good start. The herb milk thistle may also have beneficial, detoxifying effects: it is an herbal remedy with an excellent reputation for protecting and enhancing the function of the liver (the main organ responsible for processing toxins). Anyone who uses alcohol regularly, who takes drugs or medications that can harm the liver, who has abnormal liver function for any reason, or who works with solvents or has a history of toxic exposures should consider taking milk thistle. Look for extracts standardized to 70-80 percent silymarin, the active fraction, and take two capsules twice a day or as the label directs. Milk thistle is nontoxic and can be used for extended periods. "Get off your ass and take your government back." ~Rocky Ward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 There are way too many secret remedies on the market all of which promise to cure one thing or another. What's needed is not a hundred cures, each for one single thing, but simple, sensible, reasonable, easy, good nutrition so the body can heal itself.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Herbs are a part of good nutrition. One of the things that milk thistle does is to give the nutrition it needs to rebuild itself. Just as other herbs breakdown into various constituents and your body use them to keep the immune system operating correctly.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Your posts are helpful because of the environment we live in. If we lived in a balanced world, we would be able to get the nutrients from our foods, and we wouldn’t have to worry about pollution from our air, water, and foods, not to mention exposure to things like dental amalgams, etc that have been put in our mouths. We’re not there, so we need all the help we can get.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 well, I don't think you should leave. That was one opinion and the person didn't even say what he/she thought was "...good nutrition". I know people who think that good nutrition is that simple, traditional meal of a glass of milk, or coffed/tea, a steak, or piece of meat loaf/a hamburger, potatoes and a vegetable, with a piece of apple pie for dessert. Neither did the person say how one is to get good nutrition from nutrition deficient fruits and vegetables. Truth of the matter is that once so old the body doesn't heal itself from simple good nutrition, unless one uses the supplements of herbs to treat weaknesses that have developed with age and the interaction of the person (body, mind, and spirit) with his environment.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Rachelle/ Rocky, Oh, goodness. At no point did I suggest that you ought to leave or that your posts were unwanted. You see, I also believe that the right combination of herbs and supplements can not only save a person's life, but in the right balance can prevent life threatening issues from becoming a problem in the first place. From what I can see, we probably agree on a great many things. What I was pointing out is simply that there are too many micro solutions and not enough general solutions.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 It was one opinion, and was not an opinion intended to offend. You are right that I did not suggest how one should get good nutrition from nutrition deficient fruits and vegetables. I never even suggested that it was possible. In fact, for me to suggest such would be the equivalent of suggesting that one could build an operating car out of corn husks. It is simply impossible, and we BOTH know it. You are ~almost~ right when you say 'once so old the body...' After all, children are not old at all, yet a child's autism can be successfully treated (but not cured!) with the right nutrition. But your point about requiring supplements to allow the body to heal itself is definitely well taken. I suspect the confusion centers around the phrase 'simple, good nutrition'. By this, I don't mean unsupplemented eating of a balanced diet. On the contrary. I believe in supplementation strongly because I have seen the results in my life and in the lives of so many around me. What I am saying is that the supplementation should be simple, and should be based on what the body needs, rather than being complex and based on treating symptoms, like the conventional doctors do. A person shouldn't need a PhD in herbal research to have to figure out what to take or how to take it. Frank On 12/28/06, Ed Siceloff <siceloff wrote: > well, I don't think you should leave.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Milk thistle tends to increase production of glutathione, the liver's and the whole body's main detoxification and antioxidant support, but only if the precursors are available to do so. A lot of glutathione is needed in the cells in a disease condition to restore the antioxidant pool, a fact that is usually missed. Further, glutathione is depleted also by toxins and metals, especially chronic arsenic exposure via drinking water, a prevalent problem, so that needs to be considered too. Some US data on arsenic in drinking water is linked from this site: http://codebluewater.com One would need extra selenium to cope with depletion due to arsenic exposure. Undenatured whey and selenium, and to a much lesser extent raw food generally, will increase glutathione but selenium is still usually required. Milk thistle tends to enhance liver function but can not enhance one of its main functions, bile movement and correct purging of toxins to the stool, if hepatic ducts are blocked. This results in the unnecessary recirculation of toxin load. A series of liver flushes, one every couple of weeks, until no stones issue, is the key to successful liver function enhancement in a lot of people. That is the epsom salts-lemon-juice-olive oil " gallbladder flush " ; all three ingredients are necessary.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Thank you for clarification. In many of the things I've read, its a practice to eat well, paying attention to, as you say, basic nutrition. One may still have weaknesses because of possibly genetics, as well as relationship with environments. For that one adds to the diet the things that enables one to deal successfully with the stressors (environment as well as how one relates to that environment) in one's life. We are in agreement, obviously, with your clarification. Perhaps what you had previously written was just a little to terse with no explanation. Basic diet is a necessity. And one doesn't have to stay strictly with the basic, good, nutritional diet. One can still enjoy baked goods, candies, etc. But if paying attention to nutrition, one eats for nutrition and the things that become bad habits are only used in moderation. Often one ends up not even liking the some of the things like i just mentioned. The important thing is to eat so that you have energy to live. All symptoms of disease are merely "pain." If I keep hitting my thumb with the hammer, all the aspirin (or worse) in the world is not going to help. The root of the problem might be that I am blind, or uncoordinated, or the hammer is bent, or, or, or. Taking pain relief is treating the wrong end of things.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I agree we need foundational cures more than 1,000 fad foods; that's why I use the basics -- glutathione precursors, selenium, inulin as bare essentials, and vitamin D, E, and C. With a reasonable diet people get well on the basics alone, but ironically, the most important, inulin and the undenatured whey and selenium are the most often left out.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Mary I believe there are simple solutions available to us, but the answer lies with treating causes rather than symptoms. In my experience, there are solutions which work for one and all. While each of our bodies express deficiencies in many different ways, we all need the same basic nutrition. If you feed the body properly, then in most cases it's going to heal itself.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Ed, Thank you kindly for your response to my clarification. From what you've written we are, indeed, in fundamental agreement. You are right that what I originally wrote was a bit terse and incomplete. My wife and I (metaphorically and light heartedly) divide our eating into two groups. We have our nutrition, then we have our " recreational eating " . I think this idea fits in well with what you were saying. I absolutely agree with you about taking pain relief especially in the context of your definition of " pain " . The object should be to treat the causes (which most of the time is simply inadequate nutrition), rather than the symptoms. After all, like with computers, it's a matter of " Garbage In, Garbage Out " .

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Duncan, That's very interesting, but how do you know what these basics are? Also, how do you know what the proper balace is of the basics? In addition, how can you be assured of the quality of the products you are consuming? Finally, how much does all of this cost you a month?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Sure, Frank; some of the health basics are in my anti-aging protocol and my website. The handy thing is they have reversed fatal autoimmune disorders too. In a biologically supportive diet, you're essentially correcting what you can identify that was wrong; in most cases don't really have to dwell on balance, as the body takes what it needs. It's just food and detox, trace mineral and antioxidant supplementation, things like that that we're already doing. I use reputable products myself; you could query the respective manufacturers of whatever products you choose to see if they meet your criteria for quality. Maybe I can help; what were you thinking about specifically? My personal cost varies from between about $60 during maintenance and $180 per month during the anti-aging program, but could certainly go higher, probably to about double the second figure.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Duncan, I'd be interested to see what's in your website. I can't help but to be curious about products which have reversed fatal autoimmune disorders. On the other hand, I am not sure if I agree with what you said about balance in the diet not being important. In fact, I think the right balance is essential. Were it not so important, then why would detox be necessary in the first place? The problem is that the body does NOT always eliminate what it does not need, otherwise the toxins and so on wouldn't build up in the first place. To adjust consumption by seeking to correct what you can identify is wrong is doing little better than what the medical doctors do, which is merely to treat symptoms. Although I can see you're doing it through what you are feeding the body rather than by heaping medicines which only mask symptoms, you are still treating the symptoms only. Why not approach the question from a different perspective: That is to ask what the human cell needs, on the base level, to nourish itself properly. The reason I asked about the quality control for the products you're taking is that the supplementation industry is so very unregulated. There is a wide variety of purities found in the many products on the market. How many are produced according to pharmaceutical standards? After all, it's important to know what we're putting into our bodies. It sounds like your monthly supplementation costs are pretty reasonable. I also get the idea you get more for your money than most people.
