Milk thistle for radiation damage


Milk thistle for radiation damage


Wild milk thistle when fully grown they can get huge. I have seen some 6-8 feet tall and 15-20 feet wide. Milk thistle is a super herb and has been used by ancient cultures for thousands of years.


Theophrastus (372-286 BC - a botanist and collaborator of Aristotle who wrote Inquiry Into Plants) recommended milk thistle root mixed with honey as a cough medicine. The leaves can be eaten as a pot herb either raw like a salad or blanched but all the thorns must be carefully removed from the leaves first.


Milk thistle as milk thistle seed liquid and milk thistle leaves eaten as greens or leaves, stem, seeds steeped as an infusion tea is best known as a Liver and Gallbladder healing herb and used for jaundice, gallstones, cirrhosis, and as a blood cleanser and tonic for the Liver, Spleen and Gallbladder.


Milk thistle improves digestion, increases appetite, increases breast milk, and eases a headache. It not only protects the Liver from toxins but can actually help regenerate it. Milk thistle seed tincture is known as a protector from wild poisonous mushrooms. When used on a regular basis it protects the Liver from the damaging effects of radiation, chemotherapy, hormones, organochlorine and other environmental poison pollution, and free radical damage.


Milk thistle seed liquid has the ability to increase glutathione levels a metabolic enzyme by 35%. Glutathione was originally given to soldiers during war to protect them from radiation. 

Milk Thistle is a very safe herb with no contraindications.
