Milk Thistle

[Mike J]

I just thought I would pass this along. I have had trouble with psoriasis for years. I went to a dermatologist for it years ago but all the topical steroids they gave me seemed to do was make my skin appear better but it didn't go away. I wound up not going back. My wife recently went to the doctor for a cold. They were concerned about her blood pressure & also did some blood work. The physicians assistant called her to tell her that she needed to cleanse her liver & suggested she take milk thistle for a while. My wife being who & how she is proceeded to research the stuff. She found several reviews from people saying it made their psoriasis go away.

When she told me about it I thought why not so I have been taking it for about a week & while the psoriasis is still there in places it has been reduced by half. I have been taking one caplet a day. After doing some research it appears the recommended dosage for me is twice that. I just thought I would pass this along as someone else might benefit. Here is an article if anyone is interested http://nootriment.com/milk-thistle-for-psoriasis/

Interesting. Milk Thistle is a big pest here in SoCal, but like many of our present-day pests, it was brought here as part of the doctor's "drug garden,"--the pharmacy of the past, in this case of Spanish missionary priests. And like many of its fellow herbs, it wasn't a myth!

i have hereditary high cholesterol. Statins were killing me, so I researched alternative supplements. I came up with Milk Thistle and Gugulipid. Without changing my diet much at all, my Dr. did a blood check and said that whatever I was doing, don't stop! That was about 10 years ago and I havn't stopped.

Just as an aside for some of you older gentlemen you might consider the herb saw palmetto as well. I've had an number of men report it helps the prostate.
