We know this because toward the end of the fever she was crying in pain & I was in a panic being home alone with her it being midnight. She complained of pain in her belly & all I thought was gallbladder. We still used this one last drug store option but had mostly switched to homeopathics & herbs by this time but I was needing something now & did what I regret. However, it was the final straw for our reliance on these over the counter nightmares. Three blood works later, and 9 month's, her liver was healed, & the only herb we used was Silymarin (Milk Thistle) which is used by race horse owners for their horses. Simply put, it works to heal the liver. <br /><br />Any time you take even one aspirin or the like, you have damage to your liver. If you do rely on these sources, you must take Milk Thistle or Blessed Thistle to keep your liver functioning properly. Long term Milk Thistle is safe for the rest of your life. Daily intake. If you avoid these harmful drugs, you will be that much more ahead of the crowd. There are safe alternatives.<br /><br />Arnica is one of the homeopathics for headaches, Calcarea Carbonica is another for migraines, http://abchomeopathy.com there is feverfew & the pill form is Mygrafew. Lots of safe alternatives, you just need to decide you want to do better than just grabbing the tylenol. <br /><br />By the way, if a child gets hold of a homeopathic, there will be no harmful results. That's the one blessing of homeopathy.

You will find that taking BT will increase your milk and make it enriched, while giving the baby the gentle benefits that you receive from it. I'd take the BT in a capsule form, because it is quite bitter. Red raspberry can be taken as a tea with some honey if you need it, though, as I stated, my Red Raspberry post, my children will drink it without any sweetening. <br /><br />Jamie- look for the botanical name Cnicus benedictus on the bottle or from the supplier. Milk Thistle is Silybum marianum, however the name is often used for Blessed Thistle. It can also go by Holy Thistle. Milk thistle has some of the same properties.dontfencemein1979https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317791989209512204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572845064353806814.post-72006675988557441382010-12-29T12:16:44.363-05:002010-12-29T12:16:44.363-05:00Is blessed thistle and milk thistle the same thing...Is blessed thistle and milk thistle the same thing?jamie cumbridgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572845064353806814.post-89466142739117547062010-12-29T12:14:21.045-05:002010-12-29T12:14:21.045-05:00So I can take them both when nursing?

There are several things, Red raspberry being my favorite, that help with acne. Both are safe for pregnancy, but the optimum time to cleanse is after breastfeeding and before conception, so keep that in mind.dontfencemein1979https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317791989209512204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572845064353806814.post-58814186690856613512010-12-29T09:33:58.786-05:002010-12-29T09:33:58.786-05:00Very interesting post.
