That is great Julie! My dog recently was given Denamarin for an enlarged liver. Have you any experience with that amino acid supplement? I’m wondering what even brought on the enlargement.
@BabyChili1......Yes my dog was on Denamarin for awhile but didn’t seem to help. I used the liquid extract which helped but not enough. Then went to the powdered form which she is currently is taking 3x a day with her food. We don’t know exactly why her liver levels were so bad. Could have been her food.., I switched to a homemade diet ... or it could have been her anxiety or both . She’s been taking Milk Thistle for 3 years.
After my triple bypass the surgeon said if my heart looked like my liver I wouldn't be here. I took MT for an alcoholics liver. Apparently worked well. It gave me the chance to beat my addiction. 1 year and going strong. Acomposate is working.
Great! 8 bought an expensive liver cleanse, then followed up with milk thistle which was more affordable. Nice to know its a key ingredient for detoxification and liver regeneration
I feel like a Silly marine watching this particular episode about this great herb.. Excerpts: Keep in mind that your liver filters out milk thistle very quickly, so repeated doses throughout the day are necessary to experience the most benefits. What makes silymarin in milk thistle a unique powerhouse for the liver? 1. Reduces liver and kidney toxicity 2. Used to help combat alcoholism naturally 3. Counters toxicity related to chemotherapy 4. Prevents liver fibrosis and decreases liver inflammation 5. Modulates insulin resistance and helps reduce liver fat 6. Neutralizes poison from poisonous mushrooms 7. Regenerates liver cells 8. Helps with depression 9. Reduces an enlarged prostate 10. Reduces varicose veins Thank you Dr Berg!
I tried the milk out of a milk thistle when I was younger because I wanted to know what it tasted like. It had a very mild taste, but someone in my family said it was poisonous, so I left it alone after that. Never again! After watching this video; I'm realising, that I need that stuff!
Hello doctor berg. I’m 40 years old and have fatty liver. You are so helpful and I’m trying to change my lifestyle, diet and drinking habits. I’m not sure I could ever do this without your Channel. Thank you x
Milk thistle is still used in the Netherlands against poisoning symptoms after eating the very poisonous mushroom the green tuber allemite. Milk thistle is a life saver
I literally just started taking this lol but I use the seeds I grind them into a powder & add it to my salad, smoothies but I like to start my morning off with it by adding it to my morning tea my main focus as of now is to keep my liver healthy, gut health & I also have been keeping my pcos symptoms in check too I'm on a healthy keto meal plan along with intermittent fasting I feel great healthy keto is a lifestyle for me & I love it❣
@@chipschneipps609 Are you dealing with hair loss? I'm a big fan of herbal teas so yes I just add 1 tsp. to my herbal tea but it is recommended that you add 1 tbs. to your tea or food a few times throughout the day I'm starting out with a low dose because I don't want to have any break outs from the detoxing affects from the milk thistle its best to get fresh seeds & grind them yourself I've done alot of research on milk thistle & its amazing for your liver I was really surprised to see Dr. Berg do a video on this because he already has a few videos on this topic
@@JuiceGame1987 yes i have huge hair fall, and my scalp is showing, i don't really know what to do about it anymore... If you have any advice on how to stop the hairloss and regrow my hair i'd be grateful.. So you put the powder in your tea and drink that powder with the tea or do you filter it?
@@chipschneipps609 I add it to my tea & drink everything but you can add it to your smoothes salads etc.. as far as hair loss I was having this issue too but it was because of high levels of stress lack of sleep & low vitamin D levels & Zinc (I had blood work done) so I take a vitamin D supplement along with Zinc I would suggest that you get blood work done to see whats going on that way you can take the right supplements to fix your hair loss, I drink Organic Bamboo Tea every morning its one of the highest forms of silica which is good for hair growth (Stinging Nettle, Red Raspberry Leaf, Spearmint, Dandelion Leaf ect.) I drink alot of herbal teas because there packed with vitamin c iron etc.. I add Hydrolyzed Collagen to my bullet proof coffee, also I take Trace Minerals we all need trace minerals in small amounts to give our bodies the minerals that we cannot get from our food I also take a Liver Supplement which is good for Iron etc.. I sprinkle Nutritional Yeast on my vegetable to get all my B vitamins its sad that we cannot get what we need from our foods the soil is dead so we have to be wise about what our bodies really need & one of the key supplements for hair growth & hair loss is MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) it is Sulfur just make sure that you get 99.9% Pure Optimsm along with eating alot of vegetables if your like me & can't eat alot if vegetables then make a green juice & add your powerhouse green powders to it, I can literally go on & on because I myself had this problem I hope this helps you out!!
Dr Berg is my doctor that my children know once the see his picture. Right from your video that explained referred pain on my right back into my neck, I have had a lot of benefits following your teachings and knowing what lifestyle changes to make, what supplements to buy. God used doctor berg to save my life. I thank God for the age of information and those that put valuable information out there, may we always find help at the right time always. This is one year of following your videos, the cabbage recipe and all. At first my husband laughed that I can't just lose weight (as it doesn't just work out) now he believes so much in my research and tells people about my success story and my doctor. Thank you Dr Berg.
Thank you Dr. Berg, I have just started my keto reboot I lost 50 pounds less than a year ago but I struggled due to insulin resistant I understand milk thistle is really good for you. I’m not sure how much to take for a person who is overweight. Thanks for all that you do ❤️
Thanks for your video. However I got a bad reaction from taking milk thistle ... vertigo ! I looked this up on a few different sites and saw that others had this reaction as well. If you have any other herbs or remedies to reduce liver and kidney toxicity please let me know. Thank you !
Hi Dr., Thanks for this about Milk Thistle.I was never much into herbal supplements until this.I have been taking it for several months and SWEAR by it. It has improved my fatty liver and other liver issues i was having. My liver and I thank you lol. Great herbal suppliment. I LOVE it and have seen a huge difference. Be well Dr.🤗🔥🧡
The thistle you show, in Australia is called scotch thistle, grows mostly in fields on farms. Milk thistle is more a domestic plant with no spikes and smaller yellow flowers. I hope nobody gets these confused . 🙂
Do you know if Scotch Thistle has the same benefits? Is Milk Thistle native to the US? If you know. I’m interested in knowing. And I agree this seems like an obvious point and should of been caught before making the video. When you say domestic for you mean that it doesn’t grow in nature that it’s been cultivated? Thank you for any assistance.
@@donnaml8776 Hi Donna, sorry I cant speak to the properties, benifits or uses to any of the thistles commonly known as milk thistle. Was simply pointing out that different plants can be known by the same common name. I think it important that there be no confusion in regard to which plant is being discussed. Wikipedia lists the milk thistle discussed here as; Silybum marianum has other common names including cardus marianus, milk thistle,[1] blessed milkthistle,[2] Marian thistle, Mary thistle, Saint Mary's thistle, Mediterranean milk thistle, variegated thistle and Scotch thistle (though not to be confused with Onopordum acanthium or Cirsium vulgare). This species is an annual or biennial plant of the family Asteraceae. This fairly typical thistle has red to purple flowers and shiny pale green leaves with white veins. Originally a native of Southern Europe through to Asia, it is now found throughout the world.. While the milk thistle that I refered to is; Sonchus oleraceus is a species of flowering plant in the dandelion tribe Cichorieae of the daisy family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Western Asia. It has many common names including common sowthistle,[2] sow thistle,[3] smooth sow thistle, annual sow thistle, hare's colwort, hare's thistle, milky tassel, milk thistle.[4] and soft thistle.[4] Sorry I can't post pictures here, but a search of the respective binomial name will show the differences. Hope this helps somewhat. 🙂
No...wrong. Milk thistle has big prickles on it's leaves, and the flower-thistles are reddish, not yellow. It does in fact look similar to scotch thistle, but can grow much bigger. It has milky splotches on it's green leaves.
Pubg Tumor , Apparently mixing different sources of protein in one day impacts our hair grays prematurely. So to keep my natural hair colour I have one day Eggs with veggies, next day Fish w/veggies, or Beef day, Pork day, ext.
have just started taking this in supplement form why am I so tirerd after taking it I had to stop for a couple of days but have taken yesterday and will continue today thank you Dr Berg for all your information , a big fan of your channel, love from west of Ireland
I think Dr. Berg was phoning this one in. What form? How much? Where to get it? Ok grow it in my garden - when to harvest, what parts are useful? That's okay I can research all that but some talk about doses would be nice.
@@christopherbelizaire4259 This is what I read: "Caution should be exercised when taking them together, as both Xanax and Milk Thistle are metabolized by the liver. This is especially true if you have a pre-existing liver disease like chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. You should not take them together until and unless allowed by your treating physician after a detailed discussion."
Is there a good resource that we can review to see what herbs/ vitamins may conflict with each other or neutralizes their effectiveness when taken together?

Was quite sad. Not waking up early and having waking issues inspite of eating really really well. The day I restarted milk thistle my sleep cycle has begun to normalise and I'm able to respond to the high levels of stress appropriately that I'm currently going through right now and not sleeping my way through the day to cope. Also my period which jad stopped for a month restarted (I have pcos but since last one year it's been regular as my body has healed after years of gluten and extreme stress issues)
I have taken milk thistle seed extract for 3 months, 150mg/day. And I found it increased the estrogen, which indirectly depleted the bile. Is there no such problem to take the whole plants? Thank you Dr Berg!
Hello Doc, i am an 36 year old alcoholic for about 20 years now. been off alcohol for 3 days now...thanks to your video, I just purchased Milk Thistle " Active Whole Spectrum Extract , non gmo , Gluten, Free,Vegetarian Capsules.. . Please let me know if i got the right one LOL, thank you !
schisandra and blood stream formula dr chistopher i would recomment milk thistle is ok but how you gonna clean your toxic lympatic system? and get your kidneys filtering? high berries diet also cut off prossesed foods dairy at least and limit protein
Dr Berg I’m including 30 drops of milkthisle in my am whole lemon, raw wheatgrass, matcha powder, moringa powder n electrolytes!!! Amazing benefits for so many things you pointed out. I also do 30 drops for my afternoon lemon drink Amazing herb. Thank you for educating us in the benefits of herbs! I love the nutritional and flavor to our palates from so many herbs in our cooking. You rock Dr Berg!
@Helping Humanity 🇲🇽 I bought the capsules, I've not taken them yet, if I had known about the liquid form I would've bought that instead because liquid absorbs quicker.
I have just started taking milk thistle tincture, also giving some consideration to purchasing some milk thistle tea also. I am rather overweight and have fibroids which I know have an effect on the liver so I have started taking measures along with a healthier diet/exercise.
@@deansusec8745 Don’t use the milk thistle made with alcohol. Alcohol it’s bad for the liver. They have liquid that I’m using that it’s not made with alcohol.
@@gigisdiamonds oh no. You see, Silymarin only insoluble in alcohol, NOT in water. You aren't getting any extract unless it's in alcohol. Of course, it's only a littel
@@deansusec8745 I wish I could share a pic. But since I can’t, I will give you the brand name and you can look it up. I know I’ve seen amazing results from this after I had surgery and my eyes showed jaundice and were bloodshot. I took it for three days and then went and had my I guess bilirubin levels checked. “Nature’s Answer’ is the brand and it says fluid extract built Sissel seed. 2000 mg on the bottom it says alcohol free. Please look it up and it feel free to get back with me. ✨🍃🌼🍃✨
I’m sort of kind of using it, but it dramatically reduces my urine flow to a trickle. I stepped it down to one capsule from the recommended three per day🤷♂️
Wow! Perfect timing again. How did he know I needed this?! I've been struggling with alcohol all week. Forgot about Milk Thistle in my cabinet. Thanks Dr Berg.
Good Morning Dr. Berg!! I just happened to see this video only now, however, this is what I really need for my liver - I've saved this link but will get back to you on email for sure. Blessings for all you do!!
Has anyone had side effects from milk thistle? I read it was good for menopause and overall health. I only took 1 pill a day, 175 for about 3-4 weeks. So not a high dose and very long. That is the only thing I did differently. I started getting muscle spasms. I did find a couple of articles that said some people did get that as a side effect but not much info after that. When I read reviews, I have not seen this complaint ever. So, Dr Berg or anyone else, have you heard of this or has anyone experienced this as well?
Didn't give instructions how to prepare it. I have a fatty liver and diabetes, so would live to try it. I have the white flower variety. Thanks so much
If you've taken a lot of antibiotics over the years then you should focus on your gut microbiome. The antibiotics affected the balance. Take a prebiotic eat and fermented foods.
Hi Dr Berg, I have endometriosis and I read online that milk thistle affect estrogen level and those who have disease like me cannot take it? Is this true? Thanks
@@sandrabulluck1896 dont use it for that use instead bacopa monnieri + lionmane mushroom ( doublewood or host defence) and aswagandha also lympatic cleance and there is other if you want for just prevention one herb is enough milk thistle is not a powerful for Alzheimer's & Parkinson's
@@sandrabulluck1896 I don't take it for myself, but as Dr berg said: it need to be taken more than once a day to feel the benefits, possibly at least twice a day. However, it is best to check with your Doctor, as each person can or cannot take a certain supplement depending on their health conditions.
@@sabrinaandhusband7791 nah those are are not hard problem tho i have not faced parkinson yet but i dont think its big deal takes a lot of time though and defenately i wont use milk thistle there so many powerful combinations and a lot of herbs to use and mushrooms that it get very expensive even for detoxing the blood lymp etc i wont use milk thistle on cirrhosis (few )proven bad in my experience compare to other solutions
Hello dr. Berg I love listening to your RU-vid videos . I learned a lot and I use that information to help my own body. Keep up the good work dr. Berg😂❤❤👍
Hello Dr. Eric Berg, I write less here but I am very fond of you, you are my first consultant on every health condition. I have a small question about Milk Thistle. Is it suitable/good for men? I didn't start yet... But on one someone else video, I listen that Milk Thistle is not good for men!. Please comment on this.
Yes. Having the ability to move forward and not quit is the key of life success. As long as you are learning and moving forward, new opportunities will always be out there for you. So thanks to ALLAH trust on ALLAH Nsk
What about elevated liver enzymes due to covid infection. Will it help? And how much do we take for that? Dr Berg please help and answer my question been waiting 13 days for an answer thanks Dr Berg.
And you're still waiting.....i treat c infection same as the flue. Plenty VC,D3, ZINC, Curcmin and hot chicken noodle soup. You'll be fine. It's the jabbd that are in HUGE trouble.
I take Farmhaven milk thistle on Amazon. 30:1 seed extraction 80% standardized silymarin. I usually do 1-2 per day is all depending on my schedule. 1 in the morning and another in evening with food. I don't go overboard with it. I'm no medical expert so do your research and probably talk to your doctor
@@gatopard77 I have. Early on when I started taking it I felt a little twinge in my liver. I know that can sound scary but it wasn't painful and lasted maybe a second. It wasn't frequent either so I knew it was working. I felt better overall in general. My bowels are better and consistent. It's definitely an improvement, especially when there's a good chance a lot of us have a fatty liver
Hello is the milk thistle help ? Please I have fatty liver, high blood pressure 😭 how are you now and how long you take milk thistle please share 🙏 thank you so much !
If you can't grow it. What would be the best form to take it? ie a tea? I have seen it in extract but it always contains alcohol in the ingredient list, does that defy the purpose? And finally I have seen fermented milk thistle is that an okay form to take it in? I appreciate your time. Thanks
Does “milk thistle” effect estrogen in women… & if it does, can that cause cancer in the womanly areas (ie: cervical, ovaries, breast…etc)?? I read about that somewhere, not sure if it’s true…. here I thought it helps prevents cancers.
@@I_am_nina Treatments that the doctor may prescribe, which act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory, so they work to protect the liver and regenerate its cells, and reduce the harmful effect of any treatment on the liver.
@@user-uq1nm3iv8i Milk thistle can be consumed as a nutritional supplement in the form of capsules or pills, and there is no ideal dose for this plant, but it is preferable to read the dosage on different products for it.
@@moustafa83hamada milk thistle along with dandelion root. Obviously your eating lifestyle has to be aligned with it which he continues to make videos about. Preferably low meat intake or none at all to give the liver a break from the high protein. IF and low carbs. Why mention what a doctor prescribes when big pharma has not healed anyone? Ginger is an antiflammatory that can be prescribed instead of the deadly pharmekia that fixes one problem but causes 5 others at the same time. I suggest those reading research functional medicine which is basically what Dr. Berg is leaning towards. We have everything we need on this earth and don't need man's lab created concoctions to heal.
Has anyone had BAD allergic reactions to taking this? I am so scared to take anything after having heart problems after taking wormwood/clove/black walnut in a supplement in April last year. I am terrified to try anything again after that. So has anyone had a bad experience with Milk Thistle? I only hear good..
Dr. Berg can you do a video on what herbs, foods and/or supplements that may be good for speeding up and slowing down the Phases of the liver? My phase 1 is apparently running like a runaway train I suspect due to leaky gut and my phase 2 is a tortoise
Good morning Dr. Berg, I had an ultrasound done on my liver. It showed that I had some fatty tissue, which I already knew, but now it shows that I have F1 fibrosis which I think is now some scar tissue. My question is, can milk thistle help me in any with these conditions? And if does in what way? Please let me know if this would be good to incorporate into my diet and exercise. Thank you and have a blessed day!!
i have reverse several cirrhosis atm reversing one advanced cirrhosis with hepatitis B you need to fix your diet and and clean your lympatic system (juices you make of organic grapes on blender other alcaline fruits no lemons or pinapples and oranges) and do 20% meat 80% veggies and especialy watery fruit diet for 1 month or more you wil lsee you skin when it glow (your face ) and its hydrated you are ready to stop get some schisandra (nature awnser with glycerin) and chanka piedra extract if you got high blood pressure get moringa extract but icant recomment more since i dont know what drugs you take ( i hope you dont take)
