Everybody can use a little Milk Thistle
I have been tired for a LONG, LONG time! I always thought other people just had more energy than me, but as I grew older, the tiredness and lack of energy got worse. Nothing was helping. I figured I'd burned out my adrenal glands, so I addressed that problem. Then I entered Menopause, and I used several good supplements to help with that. But the tiredness remained. When I got rosacea for the first time a few years ago, I remembered the words of my mother, telling me, "You are taking too many pills. You're going to ruin your liver one day. If you start noticing your skin having problems, it's your liver!" She said that at least 30 years ago. Ever since I was a teenager and young woman, I was taking aspirin for headaches. I also used ibuprofen, and one time, after using too much of it, I broke out with psoriasis on my lower body. More recently, I injured my back. Not thinking, I took too many pills because the pain was excruciating. After that, I was on pain care with more pills. My stomach became ultra sensitive during this time. And the tiredness was becoming unbearable. Then I noticed that once again, my face was starting to break out with small patches of psoriasis and reddish-brown itchy spots. Immediately, I suspected my liver. The only way I could somewhat keep the breakouts at bay was by drinking a TON of water each day. Even then, the patches never completely left. I told a nurse friend that I was afraid I had damaged my liver, and she told me about Milk Thistle. I researched it online and decided the Jarrow formula was a good one. Well, I have now been using Jarrow Milk Thistle for a month and it is miraculously clearing my skin of psoriasis and itchy patches. However, the MOST important thing is that I am beginning to have more energy! Suddenly, I cannot stay in bed for 10 to 12 hours on Saturday mornings. I'm feeling more rested, healthier, less depressed and ready to get up and do things. Thank God for Milk Thistle! It is inexpensive and it works! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UPDATE ON 1-14-2019 Hello everyone and Happy New Year. I've been reading over some of my posts and I wanted to tell anyone following here that, overall, the best things I did for myself was: 1. Take Milk Thistle for my damaged liver. My rosacea and psoriasis skin problems are now completely gone. 2. Take "Garden of Life" and "Renew Life" probiotics to heal my stomach lining (leaky gut) and improve my gut bacteria. I can digest foods very well after maybe 30 years of stomach/bowel problems. 3. Take Pure Gums of Spirit Turpentine with sugar to kill Candida Albicans in my intestines and body. It also helped my athlete's feet problem for sure. 4. Give up all sweets (no chocolate, candies, pies, cake, breads, etc) and "most" foods with added sugars (except trace amounts). Sugar is my drug, so I am proud that I gave it up. This reduced inflammation all over my body. My feet feel good--no itching anymore. Also helped cure athlete's feet problem. My stomach dropped a couple more inches. What a difference giving up sugar has made in my entire body!!! Wow! I very recently added coffee back to my diet (once in a while) but I use Stevia with some Lactaid milk to sweeten it. After giving up sweets, I can drink coffee like this and enjoy it completely. I don't miss the ton of creams and sugars I used to put in my coffee. If I had not discovered Milk Thistle, I really think I might not be here today. That's how bad I think my liver was when I started using it. I've gone off it a couple of times, but now I take 1 tablet every day and I will continue with this program. Today, the main issue I need to tackle is my thyroid. Pretty sure I have hypothyroidism. My sister had thyroid problems and I think my mom did too. When that's taken care of, I should be in pretty good shape
