milk thistle/liver question-clarification

[Guest guest]

Hi-I think i need to clarify my question. I have had

chronic headaches and have taken large doses of

Excedrin. I need the milk thisltle to help my liver

because of this. I actually need some substitute for

the pain of the headaches while I do the total body

cleanse, but am not sure what that would be and would

love any suggestion. I am also wondering in what

dosage should I take the milk thistle and in what form

to help fix the damage i am sure has been done by the

large dosages of Excedrin.

Hi Betty

For your Liver, I would suggest 420Mg per day, taken in two dosages. My wife

was on this dosage and reduced her Viral Load (Hepatitis C) signifincally.

As it is a food, it will do no harm (not sure about if you are pregnant

though!).

Kind regards

Jeff

ps. Please do not take MT with Echinacea, they are not combatable.

I think you need to identify the cause of the headaches.

Hi Betty!

 

I took Darvocet for my version of Migraine headaches for about ten

years. It came to the point that I required more and more for relief.

I got so bad I would take as many as ten (100/600)in twelve hours and

still no relief. Eventually I developed an immunity and allergy to the

acetaminophen in the Darvocet. The proproxyphene was making me fuzzy

brained also. My headache rebound was extremely hurtful. My face would

swell up and itch terribly. My lips would be ten times their normal

size. My immune system would fail because it was working on the

acetaminophen poisoning.

 

Since then I've found out that 2400 mg acetaminophen (that is four

Darvocet) in 24 hours is the maximum anyone should take. But if this

is done for many days/weeks the amount allowed daily lowers to reduce

the rebound and allergic reactions.

 

I cannot take NSAIDS (aspirin, Motrin, etc) because they drive my high

blood pressure out of sight. I've tried tramadol with no success

either. My tramadol side effects are terrible sleep dreams and

inability to settle down with no relief from the pain.

I had to take Milk Thistle to regenerate my liver from the

acetaminophen poisoning. I took four 250mg capsules a day (commercial

caps from DoctorsTrust.com. I buy my bulk herbs from

SpiceDiscounters.com and fill my own capsules).

 

[A bio-feedback practioner told me a story: If your body finds that

its production of pain from hurt is being reduced your body will grow

new receptor paths to assure you are having pain to diagnose the hurt.

A visual of this would be to hold your finger tips together in front

of you and drop two or three fingers on one hand to show the pain

reliever. Then have someone else put their hand/fingers next to your

dropped fingers and that will be what your very smart body does by

adding receptors that will be immune. Thus creating a vicious cycle.]

 

In the last few years there was an acetaminophen scare going around

because a young women died from acetaminophen poisoning. This came

from my Migrainuers' forum's I belong to.

 

I broke the cycle using bio-feedback (relaxation) and the mental idea

that I would not succumb to the pain anymore (mind over body). When I

feel the pain coming on I just say out loud " I do not need this

headache and I will not let you put me down today " . Sometime this is

hard to do because of the pain but after repetitive use it becomes

almost second nature and having to take any pill for relief is gone.
