My name is Brian D. Hawkins and welcome to my blog.

My Personal Story

Why my interest in Milk Thistle Seed Extract? I was just diagnosed with an enlarged liver after three years of testing ending with a liver biopsy. To this day we still don’t know what caused my enlarged liver since I don’t drink and never have but it has caused other mild conditions such as B12 and iron deficiencies. My doctor told me to find milk thistle seed extract, an over the counter herbal supplement commonly used for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. According to the Mayo Clinic*, “Milk thistle has been used medicinally for over 2,000 years“. I trust my Doctor yet I was amazed when he had nothing to prescribe and recommended a herbal supplement instead. I respect his judgment and happily ordered two bottles online.

After researching Milk Thistle Seed Extract I decided to sign up for the affiliate program where I just purchased from and to setup this blog. Everything I can find online and off has been nothing but good news for me now with a liver condition at just 44 years old. I am going to use this blog to sort out the research and log the results from my own treatment as well as offer the product to others that would like to give it a try.

Have you tried Milk Thistle? What are your thoughts? I would love to hear from you. Please comment at the bottom of any post on this site.
