My liver is overloaded with toxins and I've been told to take milk thistle, which is made from rag weed. I read that taking this would aggravate my hay fever symptoms. Does anyone know of any alternative to milk thistle? Thanks.
Natural or prescription? My Dr prescribes me cholestyramine. An old cholesterol lowering drug.

Ditto. I love milk thistle. If I miss my sleep I get joint pain and milk thistle totallt banishes it. It must nuke some inflammatory cytokine or other. I like to take it to assist my liver since I take so many supplements. Since our health care system does not help us with vitamins and natural remedies, we try thinks ourselves, and it is my insurance that my liver won't be hurt.Re, milk thistle. I have used it (not sure of any effect), but it did not aggravate my hayfever.
