ernrol Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Milk Thistle REPORT By Ernie Puckett This is a report on one of many supplements that I take. Each report will contain: What it is, How I think it helped me. Dosage I take, with links to info on dosage if available. What I would recommend to my children to take as a supplement A link to The Sloan Kettering site if the supplement is listed there. You may have to agree to the conditions then click on the first letter of supplement, and scroll down to the supplement. If you have already been to this web site before it will take you right to the supplement. Some supplements may interfere with chemotherapy or radiation. This site is a good source for that information Other interesting web sites where I found valuable information, with links to research Brand name and manufacture and link to where I purchase the product. This is the best price I have found. Most of the web sites are also selling a product and may be bias, but they still contain good information. The Sloan Kettering site has no interest in selling products and I consider this unbiased. By reviewing this report and the clicking links you should be able to make an intelligent decision whether this is something you want to take. For additional information you can Google the supplement in your browser. ALL SUPPLEMENTS/HERBS SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH YOU DOCTORS BEFORE YOU START TO TAKE THEM. I showed all of mine to my oncologist. Don’t forget to add the most important item_ PRAYER Milk Thistle, Milk thistle is an ancient medicinal plant used to purify and protect the liver How I think it helped me, I think it may help prevent damage to liver that may be caused by the Tarceva. It also may help prevent cancer. What I take today, I take Ultra Thistle 1080mg Silybin Phytosome a day. I have just recently started taking this supplement. It sounds like a good one for cancer patients to take so I have added it to my supplements. What I would suggest that my children take as a supplement, It would not need to be taken unless there is a good reason. like a weakened immune system. I don’t think that it would hurt to take it either.
