Hi
Does anyone take Milk Thistle and did they have good results, any side effects?
At this point in my life, after being mercury poisoned and reading so many conflicting protocols, I am petrified to try anything to help myself. I do take lots of vitamins but I am afraid of herbs. I did have the one large mercury filling removed almost two years ago and still have a few very tiny mercury fillings from over 20 years ago in my mouth. I know my symptoms started in relation to that one big filling that was first repaired and then refilled with mercury before I realized the connection between the mercury and my health problems. So then I had it removed totally with a rubber dam(and the dentist was very careful to get all the mercury and not let me swallow anything). I feel somewhat better but still have some annoying symptoms such as ringing in the ears, pounding heart on and off and spurts of high blood pressure, slight feelings of pressure in my head from time to time, and also emotional upsets such as anxiety and depression. I also cannot take much stress.
I take, B vites complex 50mg, Vit C 1-2000, multi - Centrum, beta caratene, zinc 25mg, Co Q10 50-100mg, Vit E - 400IU, lately acidolphilus and pancreatic enzymes. The things I think I should take but have not done so are Milk thistle, essential fatty acids, amino acids and a fiber such as phsylium. I go once or twice a day but would like to go at least 3x to detox and I drink lots of water. I do not want to take any drugs such as dmsp, dmsa or whatever.
Any suggestions. I did buy Milk thistle but I am afraid to take it and I am also afraid to try alpha lipoic acid.
Is anyone else as leary as I am about taking things they never took before?
I do try and watch my diet re: sugar, white flour products and fried and fatty foods and carbos.
Any other suggestions?
