Give your Liver a Treat
Potent
Liver Protector
Milk Thistle is a potent liver
protector. It has been used for
centuries to treat cirrhosis,
chronic hepatitis, and alcoholic
cirrhosis. It can inhibit the
production of the virus that
causes hepatitis, stimulate the
immune system, and actually
restore damaged liver cells.
In Germany it is part of the
standard treatment for many
liver diseases.
Toxic
Breakdown
The liver is the largest and
most complex solid organ in the
body, with an incomparable
chemical structure capable of
breaking down a variety of toxic
substances and rendering them
harmless. Its purpose is to
maintain, regulate and protect
the life of the cells. This
vital organ is also the main
storehouse, which holds fats,
sugars and proteins coming from
the digestive tract. It is
responsible for the secretion of
bile needed to aid the digestion
of fats, the formation of blood,
metabolic processes,
detoxification and the
production of heat.
Toxic
Degeneration
Since 1969, Milk Thistle
research has proven that this
unique plant can actually help
the liver cells to repair and
regenerate themselves. Milk
Thistle contains significant
flavones, which protect some of
the intra-cellular components of
liver cells from lipid per
oxidation, and its benefits are
shown to be considerably more
powerful than those of Vitamin
E.
Remarkable
liver healer
Hundreds of scientific research
papers highlight Milk Thistle,
also known as Silybum
Marianum, as one of the most
potent liver healers, protectors
and regenerators known to man.
The seeds of this remarkable
plant yield a nontoxic extract,
Silymarin that enhances the
metabolism of liver cells and
protects them from toxic damage.
It has been proven to be an
outstanding hepatic and provides
the simplest way of decongesting
the liver, inhibiting the
production of the virus that
causes hepatitis, stimulating
the immune system and regulating
the production of lecithin and
cholesterol.
Milk Thistle
actually restores damaged liver
cells
Tests conducted over 4 to 8
weeks on patients with alcoholic
liver damage showed that
supplementation with Milk
Thistle not only halted the
damage being done to the liver,
but the livers in these patients
actually showed significant
improvement. Milk Thistle aided
regeneration and healed
previously damaged livers - all
while the patients continued to
drink as they normally did.
Tissue examinations from
clinical and laboratory studies
have found Milk Thistle to have
beneficial effects in treating
all of the following conditions:
Chronic Hepatitis, Jaundice,
Alcoholic Cirrhosis, Liver
damage, Bile stagnation, Alcohol
and chemical induced fatty liver
disease.
Hepatitis
Treatment
Hepatitis C accounts for about
150,000 new cases of viral
hepatitis in the United States
annually and 10,000 people die
from it each year. Right now the
U.S. Public Health Service
considers hepatitis C an
epidemic. Patients with
hepatitis are treated with
either interferon or steroids.
Neither of these two treatments
has an effective cure rate, and
both of these drugs have
horrific side effects. When all
else fails, the liver is
removed. Hepatitis is the
leading reason for liver
transplants in the United
States. Hepatitis is a
relatively new disease in
Western countries. It has,
however, been a major disease in
Asia for centuries. The Chinese
have been treating hepatitis B
and C for years with a
combination of herbs that
studies have shown to be
effective 50 % of the time.
Usually patients show
improvement after three to six
months of treatment, with no
appreciable side effects. If
you're at risk from hepatitis,
one of the herbal supplements
recommended to be taken daily to
strengthen your liver, is Milk
Thistle.
Crucial
Biologically
Diseases of the liver affect the
well being of the whole body.
However, the liver may suffer
damage for a long time before
its deterioration is noted.
Nowadays, most livers have to
cope with huge quantities of
chemicals, noxious wastes
including coffee, alcohol,
cigarettes, medicinal drugs,
radiation, air pollution and
artificial foods. Stress also
upsets the liver's function. Anyone who drinks, and
especially those who are heavy
users of alcohol, as well as
those using pharmaceutical drugs
or undergoing chemotherapy would
be well advised to take Milk
Thistle. Milk Thistle is safe
and non-toxic. It has no recorded side effects
and may be taken indefinitely.
