Milk thistle is good for liver detoxification. Its been so long since I've tried it... I don't remember how I felt after taking it. But I can give you a link to a forum that I belong to in MedHelp... I love this forum because IMO, it is very beneficial.. especially to those of us who have fibro & CFS. We often discuss infections, probiotics, diet, preferred choice of supplements and a lot more. Here's the link:
