Yea, I take them and I know people who've completed treatment(interferon) who still take them. There's no scientific studies proving they work. The main thing is a good clean diet, with minimal saturated fats and processed foods, and good clean living free from alcohol and drugs. 30 years is such a long time and there's so many contributing factors as to why some people get sick and some don't that it's impossible to say definitvely that these supplements do anything at all. In scientific studies, there's no proof at all in double random trials that they do anything, but I feel better trying something instead of nothing.

BillW - thanks for the reply. I guess the blood tests prove whether or not they work - assuming you don't have cancer.Take care - Ross5

Ross,

I just started taking Milk Thistle in October after I found out I relapsed. I'll be going to a major teaching university on November 13. I'll let ya know if it is doing me any good and what the specialists think of this stuff.

Missy - thanks for your reply. I'm confident that milk thistle is beneficial. I was just wondering about the Maximum stuff that's been hawked on the internet. All the best, Ross5

I take milk thistle and many other herbs and vitamins which if I tried to add them here I would be here forever. Just do your research and I will try to add more later. god bless. David

yes my alt level [ liver inflamation] has drastically improved since I started taking only 3 175mg a day, down from 132 to 91 in 3 weeks
