When I got diagnosed with Lupus, my liver was practically failing. Hepatitis tests were negative and scan for fatty liver was clear. There was nothing else, no other explanation except that for the last 10+ years my liver was producing a rapid amount of enzymes for no apparent reason, other than that all my other organs were fine. The doctor couldn’t put it down to anything else, all other tests were negative and it was concluded my Lupus was affecting my liver.
I asked what I could do, it was in no way alcohol related and therefore a simple detox wouldn’t do the trick, my doctor suggested Milk Thistle.
So what is it? Well, it’s a plant. I wasn’t able to find it in Kuwait but I did manage to pick some up from a health store in Dublin. Miraculously after only a month of taking them, my liver doesn’t feel as swollen and blood tests are slowly coming back to normal.
Milk Thistle is great for a number of things; lowering cholesterol (my cholesterol was fine el7umdella), kidneys (those also fine) and even diabetes.
