I don't seem to see anyone out there using milk thistle for hep c - Please try it if your labs aren't too bad-before trying that awful interferon stuff (that's really just chemo therapy) I take good quality (mine is from the Eclectic institute and I get it at our local Co-op); I take 600mg(4 in am & 4 in pm) and my lab levels have stayed fairly low & much the same for over ten years.
Except 1 time when I started drinking for a while - Hey, I was getting some $100 bottles of red Wine from a closed place and it was too good to pass up & I would have been ok if I'd quit when they ran out;I was only drinking 1 - ok some days 2 glasses after work.
Anyway I've been back on track for over a year - at least not drinking. I take meds though, for pain and depression and we all know our livers have to work with all the processing but my labs are still stable and I truly believe it's the MILK THISTLE!!!!! It isn't cheap, but neither are meds; and NO SIDE EFFECTS from thistle. That's right no side effects and no interactions. My Dr has started recommending it to others and I have heard other MD's are too. Try it- I promise more than they can with interferon. Hopefully yours, SharonH
