My father is a General Surgeon, MD. He watches Dr. Berg's videos because he freely admits there was limited, very limited, nutrition and body chemistry offered during his education. I love my dad so much. Love Dr. Berg as well.

Milk thistle saved my grandmother’s life literally. She had hepatitis C and was very ill. She got better and went on to live more than 20 more years with no symptoms.

I was an alcoholic for about a year after my friend died. Recently another friend of mine told me he has liver cancer with 40% liver failure. I truly believe G-d sent him to me as a wake up call. I've used Kudzu to dramatically cut down on my drinking (6 beers a night to about 4 a week), and I've been using aged garlic, Milk Thistle, and Androdia Camphorata mushrooms to heal my liver. I'm 31 and I feel 21 again. I sleep better, feel better, and I save a lot of money. I saved so much I can afford to go on a cruise next year.

Your liver is the head custodian of your body. It may not be a glamorous job, but it's an important one. Treat it right.

I live in Scotland and Milk Thistle is a national sign for Scotland. We have plenty of it!

I think that one of the reasons Dr. Berg is so good at what he does is that he is driven by health and not the desease. By solution and not just the problem. Huge respect and gratitude.

I started taking milk thistle for severe fatty liver, 1 month later I had better blood test results for my liver, it was the only thing I changed at the time, it works

I damaged my liver with heavy alcohol use. I began to have very pale stools and it scared me. I stopped alcohol completely and started taking milk thistle, ubiquinol, and vitamin k pills, all which have been shown to benefit a damaged liver. Overtime my stools have returned to a healthy brown color and I feel great. I also began exercising (running) as well and I believe that helped too, along with some intermittent fasting at times.

I remember watching a video of yours about two years ago regarding estrogen dominance and how to regulate and balance hormones via milk thistle and dandelion root. Birth control only made things worse so I tried your suggestion along with my doctor's okay. 2 years later I go from heavy cramps and bleeding to minimal cramps and regular bleeding. I'm so happy something worked and has been😘🙂

A few months ago a random customer shopping in a health food store got into a conversation with me there, and told me to buy milk thistle. I figured, if a random shopper tells me to buy milk thistle, that must be good advice, so I bought a bottle of it.
Last night I was back at that store, and found pieces of whole milk thistle in bulk, so I bought some of that. Now this video tells me that the random shopper didn't steer me wrong.

Milk Thistle is a powerful and potent liver protecting herb. I had pretty advanced hepatic lipid dystrophy and Milk Thistle has helped me A LOT! The combination of healthy Keto and Milk Thistle had a tremendous therapeutic effect on my liver.

i started a fertility cleanse and milk thistle is for the first phase. I kid you not my skin is glowing! My period returned in just a week. I can recommend it enough!

[michellemoffett]

I was a caregiver and I gave him milk thistle long ago for his damaged liver and he ended up living a very long time. Fast forward to today. I got some organic milk thistle tea and drank it on an empty stomach during a fast and within 20-30 minutes I felt so much better with my fatty liver. It felt so soothing and I really felt it at work in that area. It felt so good I just didn't eat for a long time to make sure my liver got a nice vacation lol. I then looked up your video Dr Berg and it's so very interesting what you stated! A powerful herb!

Milk Thistle is miraculous. I accidentally came across this video but it actually turned out to be extremely helpful. In India it is available on Amazon. I preferred to use it in natural form. So I bought the seeds online, ground them into a powder( it doesn't become very fine. The texture remains slightly coarse) and every morning on empty stomach took 1 tsp powder mixed in a cup of hot water ( let it rest for 2-3 minutes before drinking) . The results are pretty quick may be in a week or so. And most importantly no side effects. Thank you Dr. Berg.
