More about the Anti-Estrogenic Diet
Thanks Rach for your imput... those were precisely my initial thoughts... so I kept digging!
This diet asks people to take an supplement that is also brand new to me... 175 mg - 350 mg of milk thistle... on the magazine, they recommend Nature's Way... but there are several brands...
Also, I looked up the product and it's been reported to have protective effects on the liver. They are typically used to treat liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and gallbladder disorders.
Other treatment include:
- Lowering cholesterol levels
- Reducing insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes who also have cirrhosis
- Reducing the growth of cancer cells in breast, cervical, and prostate cancers.
- Milk thistle is also used in many products claiming to reduce the effects of a hangover.
- Milk thistle can also be found as an ingredient in some energy drinks like the AriZona Beverage Company Green Tea energy drink and Rockstar Energy Drink.
I'll keepyou posted!
Thanks again for your comments.
By the way... Anna, who lost 102 lbs in 4 months, has not reached her goal weight... she started at a size 20... and 104 lbs later, she was a ten... she is still working on it (I think).
