Well, this is not a 'technical' answer, but I have used Milk Thistle for years. There are no side effects, and the Chinese have used it for over 2,000 years for liver cleansing and repair. I get a blood test every year as part of my physical, and so far, my liver is HEALTHY! Which is pretty amazing considering the abuse it takes. Pollutants effect your liver also. Naomi Judd uses Milk Thistle and is in remission the last time I heard. It has proven to repair liver cells.

Answer 4

In Europe milk thistle has long been used in liver treatment and many trials have been run proving that it does do something to improve liver function..I have a question for you: are you assuming you have liver damage because you took nsaids(because there is not really a one to one correlation there)or have you been diagnosed BECAUSE there is an excellent drug that has just been available for a couple of years that is highly effective in treating damaged livers. I do not know the name but a friend of mine whose whole family dies with liver issues is on the drug and off the liver transplant list...

What It Is Used For
Milk thistle is believed to have protective effects on the liver and improve its function. It is typically used to treat liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis (liver inflammation), and gallbladder disorders. Treatment claims also 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
How It Is Used
Milk thistle is a flowering herb. Silymarin, which can be extracted from the seeds (fruit), is believed to be the biologically active part of the herb. The seeds are used to prepare capsules containing powdered herb or seed; extracts; and infusions (strong teas).

What the Science Says

There have been some studies of milk thistle on liver disease in humans, but these have been small. Some promising data have been reported, but study results at this time are mixed.
Although some studies conducted outside the United States support claims of oral milk thistle to improve liver function, there have been flaws in study design and reporting. To date, there is no conclusive evidence to prove its claimed uses.
NCCAM is supporting a phase II research study to better understand the use of milk thistle for chronic hepatitis C. With the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, NCCAM is planning further studies of milk thistle for chronic hepatitis C and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (liver disease that occurs in people who drink little or no alcohol).
The National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Nursing Research are also studying milk thistle, for cancer prevention and to treat complications in HIV patients.
Side Effects and Cautions
In clinical trials, milk thistle generally has few side effects. Occasionally, people report a laxative effect, upset stomach, diarrhea, and bloating.
Milk thistle can produce allergic reactions, which tend to be more common among people who are allergic to plants in the same family (for example, ragweed, chrysanthemum, marigold, and daisy).
It is important to inform your health care providers about any herb or dietary supplement you are using, including milk thistle. This helps to ensure safe and coordinated care.
