Question about milk thistle.. as it relates to urine?

SKIP TO THE *****'s for the question if you don't wanna read the rest.

Okay, so.. I went without milk thistle for quite a few months, which I know was not a very smart decision on my part. The thing is, I was in between jobs, low on money, and I forgot to order some with the other essentials, not realizing until I had spent up my medicine money.

But, I have some now. Though, I have been taking a very small dose, as I am trying to conserve it until I get more funds. I am attempting to get into a position to where I can be on what I consider my "full" protocol on a monthly basis. I have a couple more weeks at least until I can order everything.

The thing is, feeling extra toxic and hopeless tonight, unsure of whether it's the infections eating away at me, toxins flooding, or what, I said screw it and decided I'd take a higher dose of milk thistle (1500mg).

After taking the milk thistle..

I don't know if it's related, though I am inclined to think so, but my symptoms worsened and I just got up to go to the bathroom to find that my urine was extremely dark. It was brown. It was like lemonade yellow earlier.

MY QUESTION IS.. am I right for making the assumption that the two events are related? Did the milk thistle help my body to push more toxins out of me?

If so, I find that very cool. It's been very hard for me to find detox things, other than epsom baths, because I can't do with the alcohol, lemon on account of my chemical sensitivities, binders because of my gut issues, etc. I actually made a wannabe infrared sauna, but I have neglected to use it, because I am waiting until I can start on my vitamin and electrolyte products. I don't want to go sweating things out and not be able to replace them. So, yeah.. it is nice to see something that works.

I feel like the answer is obvious, but I am in a very cloudy state of mind, so bear with me.

Also, I'm sorry for not just asking my question, but I felt I should give a bit of details, because I know that some will think me stupid for not being on this supplement regularly. I do believe milk thistle should be a part of everyone's protocol. I don't know what I was thinking. I wasn't. lol

Thanks though. Cya later.

Traveller, what is ALA?

I'm not Traveler, but I can answer this. ALA is Alpha Lipoic Acid. Alpha lipoic acid is a compound found naturally inside every cell in the body. It's needed by the body to produce the energy for our body's normal functions. Alpha lipoic acid converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy.

ALA crosses the blood brain barrier so it may be great for brain function. It is good for neuropathy. It also can neutralize free radicals.

Yes, very good news!

You're right, Trav, I just hate saying what seems like so much sometimes.

Totally added ALA to the list of things I'd like to try last night, when the time is right ofc. I read some things, and I specifically remembered you mentioning it before as well.

Thanks!
