I heard that high fat diets put a strain on your liver and kidneys. I did experience some pain initially, and then I started taking 3 capsules of milk thistle from an advice from a friend, and it went away. I was wondering if anybody is familiar with milk thistle and if it really helps with liver/kidney pains. I've been taking them for almost a month now, and I feel that it's helping me, but I'm interested in knowing what others feel about it. Thanks!

Here is a thread from a while back that may help answer your questions.

I'm not sure where you heard this, but did they have any scientific evidence to back them up? As far as I know, there have been no studies that have shown this to be true.

Thank you for the link Beth!
Lisa, I was having some pain, and a friend of mine said that high fat puts a strain on the liver and kidneys and suggested I take milk thistle. It seems to be helping, but I was just wondering if it was true, that's all.
Thanks again
