I quit because of what I read on this forum and since I got a 4 wk UND PCR I'm thinking I did something right.
Milk Thistle works (from what I've read-sorry no studies to quote)by protecting your liver from toxins. Interferon and ribavirin are probably, to an extent- a toxin and it is killing the HCV in your liver and in your blood. I think Milk Thistle would make it harder to do its job. This is my opinion.
A google search will bring up lots of information on this subject, including Andrew Weil's endorsement of taking milk thistle while on tx. Personally, I would adhere to a more cautious approach based on the CATIE research referenced above.
lat , long time , hope your well.
