Guest TinasTroops Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 In my readings I see Milk Thistle is good to give to help the liver during Chemo. There is very little mention of how much (I pushcased 250 MG) to give, before, if to give during chemo and or after Chemo has finnished.

TheFullHouse Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Saint gets it for liver support because of his seizure meds. He gets 1 1,000 mg. capsule a day.

AngelWhispers Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 After tons of research on milk thistle and wanting the very best for Flippy, I use Marin. It's the concentrated version of milk thistle and is regulated, and it contains Vit. E for her immune system. Because it does contain Vit E, I stop the Marin 4 days before and 4 days after chemo, and/or when she's having blood draws because Vit E can cause anti-clotting. Luckily Flippy only has blood draws on chemo days. Flippy also gets Sam E once daily and during the 8 days she doesn't get Marin; she gets Sam E twice a day. Flip is also on a raw diet that I think helps also. Not sure but I'd like to think all my hard work is doing her some good. Flippy's liver values have stayed perfect for the past 5 months, and the oncologist didn't think Flippy's liver would make it through the full 6 month protocol. She proved him wrong and only has 1 more dose of the nasty liver killing drug. Quote Denise & Strider, Blake, Fields, Frank, FlippyDoo, and Momma Gail.
