I'm really surprised to read this. I thought I was the only one that had this happen. I used milk thistle on three different occassions and eachtime, I was hit with even more extreme symptoms to the point I thought I was going to tear my hair out with insanity.

I did not know if it was the milk thistle, or coincidence. But eachtime, I have been hit with much worse symptoms after using it for the day. I am scared of the stuff.

I realise though I was obviously on too high potency. I didn't get past one day of using it before I had to stop. It is not a good thing to recommend for a mercury toxic person, if the person is too toxic and their liver is not donig it's job too well.

There should be a warning about it and should be used in tiny doses at first until better tolerated, because whatever it does, is just incredible. As does lipoic acid for me also and garlic supplementation. I consider those three things to be outright dangerous to me. I believe this is because I am highly toxic, highly sensitive and all those three things can stir mercury up to the extreme it seems and what happens to the mercury if it's released in a large amount in a person already overburdened? When you consider hte liver is a storage tank for these toxins, and using milk thistle would overstimulate this and who knows what would be stirred up and released. Like opening a can of worms.

So I'll never touch the stuff again, or if I do, it will be very mild doses.
