[Nightshade]

I had some of these other supplements listed (like milk thistle and skullcap) because I had been reading that it's helpful to maintain liver health by keeping it clean so it can continue to handle the high doses of PM. If anyone's can comment on how necessary that may be, I would be interested to know if it helped or hindered progress. I am still relatively young and haven't pushed my liver too hard beyond a handful of nights of hard drinking back in the day if that helps any.

Due to chronic health issues, I've been taking milk thistle for several years, but I'm concerned about it possibly having a negative effect for NBE. According to this article its properties as a "phytoestrogen" could make it harder to absorb estrogen

Because there estrogenic effects are so weak, they actually exert more anti-estrogenic effects on breast tissue by occupying estrogen receptors thereby blocking the effects of stronger estrogenic agents including estradiol and pesticides.

I would like to hear from others on this, but I'm considering taking Dandelion Root instead for liver based on one of Lotus' old posts (it's a few years old so I'm not sure if there's updated info on this)

Dandelion root - Good for detoxing the liver, and upregulates estrogen receptors so your body uses the estrogen you are putting in.
