Looking for Milk Thistle testimony ? ?

[magic32]

I think the following two statements are relatively exclusive, which explains my seemingly (at first sight) contradicting responses.

True its a god damm joke!!!
DISAGREE, AND HERE'S WHY:
MT'S REPUTATION, DATING BACK TO ANCIENT GREECE MIND YOU, IS THAT OF A VERY SPECIFIC, YET GENTLE LIVER CLEANSER AND FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I'VE FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE. ONCE WHILE SEEKING TO BETTER ACQUAINT MYSELF WITH VAR’S INDIVIDUAL MULTI-FACETED PROPERTIES, I RAN AN INCREMENTALLY (ONE WEEK APIECE) CYCLE OF TIERED DOSAGES (40/50/60/70/80/100). SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE I EXPERIENCED WHAT MANY REPORT AS A SERIES OF TINY RED FOREARM BUMPS THAT PROGRESSED DAILY FOR THREE DAYS. EVEN THOUGH VAR IS MILD, AS I WAS ON NOTHING ELSE, I ATTRIBUTED IT TO MINOR TOXICITY. A FEW BRIEF INTERNET SEARCHES QUICKLY VERIFIED THIS SUSPICION. I BEGAN MT ONLY, AT 1500MGS ED AND THE BUMPS RAPIDLY DRIED UP AND DIMINISHED OVER THE NEXT TWO AND HALF DAYS UNTIL COMPLETELY GONE, AT WHICH TIME I CONTINUED MT AT 500MGS UNTIL CYCLE'S END.

Show me a study on mike thistle.
AGREE, AND HERE'S WHY:
QUITE LITERALLY, BECAUSE I CAN'T. SOMETIME AGO, I RAN EXHAUSTIVE (WITHIN MULTIPLE MEDICAL LIBRARIES) LITERARY SEARCHES FOR BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY (META-ANALYTICAL) CLINICAL STUDY DATA TO SUPPORT AND CITE MT’S HEPATOTOXIC COMBATING PROPERTIES ONLY TO BE FRUSTRATED IN FAILURE. EVEN THE MOST POSITIVE STUDIES YIELDED ONLY ANECDOTAL FINDINGS.

CONCLUSION:
I think both individuals and studies alike simply seek too much from MT, hoping for a tough and INDEPENDENT hepatotoxicity combatant rather than the gentle and very specific cleanser that it actually is. Ironically, like the Var on which I used it, MT's most appropriate application is within a cocktail of other like products.

Similarly and in support of its complimentary effect...
