Liver cleanse while on a routine??

Hello, I would like the oppinion of some of more experienced girls here or anyone who has a clue - is a liver cleanse, eg. taking milk thistle, effective while you are on a routine?
I can't see why it wouldn't be. From what I know it's like this: milk thistle contains silimarin, which binds to cell membrane of liver cells and prevents oxidative damage, as well as it stimulates regeneration of liver cells. So it should be effective while on a routine as well.
Any oppionons on this? Thanks!

i think it helps

i dont think im really "more experienced" but i have been doing the colonix for the past two months while on bo and i think it has helped... i know i feel an awful lot better, i dont have the bloat i used to have, and i feel like the pills can really get processed.

i think the key though it to space it out. dont take something like milk thistle WITH your regular doses, but about two hours before or after. this way they dont counteract each other. i do that with my fiber and stuff and i think that is why i am still getting results...

i dont know if that makes sense, but i hope it helps a bit...

I think Chocmorsel is taking milk thistle as a part of her program

WU contains milk thistle too.

@Emmie - I agree, I usually drink milk thistle tea arround noon, so after my first dose an before my second and third. What sort of liver cleanse is colonix btw?

colonix

colonix is more of a whole internal cleanser, colon and intestines mostly but really is kindof a whole body (and liver) cleanse. the website is www.drnatura.com. it is all natural and actually has trace amounts of some of the nbe herbs!

it is expensive, as i have mentioned, but i think it is worth it. i am going to stop at the end of this box after going through two boxes and then save the third box to go through after i am done with nbe for good (well... maybe not FOREVER or anything... but at least whenever i get done with this regimine!).

hope that helps. ive posted on it before, so you can do a search, or just go to that site. the stuff works pretty well, but it is super pricey...

I take Milk thistle in my program almost daily as Anna mentioned. I was taking 175mg twice daily, then started taking 1000mg. I take that every 2-3doses. I do however take it with my herbs, and have been thinking about whether I have been counteracting the effects of herbs this way. Maybe then I will take it between my doses. I do remember trying to stop it about two weeks ago, and got this terrible headache, then assumed it was from increased blood levels of the herbs so I got back on it. I will take the advise though of doing it between my regular doses.

I never did a liver cleanse with milk thistle I did it dr.clark's way by epsom salts and olive oil/grapefruit juice. I actually got a lot of stones out this way. Does the milk thistle do the same?

Yes milk thistle detoxifies the liver.
