Alternative Medicine/Milk thistle

Question
QUESTION: Interested in the milk thistle: I have haemochromotosis - would this be a hindrence or help?

ANSWER: Hello Debbie,

For excess iron here are the supplements suggested.
Blood Purifiers
Spleen Activator
Milk Thistle time release
Chinese Liver Balance
Liver Cleanse
SAM-e
Tiao He Cleanse
Red Raspberry
FCS II
Female Comfort
Master Gland Formula
Pro-G Yam
Wild Yam
l-Carnitine

Obviously you would not need all of these. Many of them work to detox and cleanse the liver. I would suggest working with an herbalist to learn the one or combination of those which work best for you. On my website you will see a timerelease milk thistle. This is the one I would choose.

Others of these products help with hormonal issues.


You can order any of the above at my website at www.yourherbalhealthsolutions.com

I do offer phone consults as well.

QUESTION: Thank you so much for that input.....which after reading your reply gave me another question????  I am also going through nmenopause...which other would you suggest; I have had a hysterectomy about 15 years ago. Thank you for your time. Do you have any business associates that I can get these of in Australia?

Debbie

Answer
I would need to know specific menopause symptoms to be able to suggest further but many of the products suggested above are helpful for menopause symtpoms. That would include a client consult which I am not able to do as you are in another country. I would go to a health food store to get further help.
