I am hoping someone on the list can address this more authoritatively, but in the meantime -- >I had plantar's warts on my foot at one time. They seemed to thrive on >abuse.

Skin problems of all sorts are commonly considered to be a result of liver problems -- stagnation, toxicity, whatever. Milk Thistle is, of course, a specific for healing the liver. My guess is -- the milk thistle worked!! <g> >I had a bad reaction to the milk thistle and stopped taking it, but they >were already substantially reduced. And then one day I realized they were >gone completely...possibly from something else I too internally. Are you sure that your *bad reaction* to the milk thistle wasn't simply a healing crisis from the herb doing its work? Do you know what caused it, exactly? A healing crisis would not be out of the question. And, while I've never had a chance to see it in action myself (or notice it definitively, perhaps), various alternative healing folks say that when we heal, we cycle back through our previous problems one by one, most recent first. >I was just going to write in to the list for suggestions.... and here you >are already discussing it. Well, doesn't sound like cs is very helpful, Excuse me? I'm the one who started this thread, specifically because I was so delighted with CS for my wart which had NOT yielded to my favorite herbal wart remedy nor surgical removal. It's disappearing at record speed under a simple several times daily CS bath. Of course, there are a few others who've reported not such great success. It's you're choice, and your wart, of course, but if I had a bottle of home-brewed CS handy and a wart I'd like to see gone, I'd give it a try. Mine is (or should be) 20 ppm CS. Of course, in your case I personally might go back to the milk thistle since that worked so well -- depending on whether or not I truly did have an allergic (or whatever) reaction or the stuff was just working a little too well (in which case I'd cut back dosage, go off for a time, something to moderate the effect a little).
