Milk thistle has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal plant. It is native to the Mediterranean region but can now be found throughout the world. It’s generally seen as beneficial for liver, kidney, and gallbladder issues, but research in recent years indicates it may do even more.
Silymarin, a substance within milk thistle, is largely credited with its benefits. It has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and could be the leading cause of milk thistle’s benefits. Scientists isolating and researching this compound has led to milk thistle being approved for treating liver disease back in 1986, a considerable achievement for a natural substance in this world that worships Big Pharma above all.

Cefazolin, a common antibiotic can be given to most of the patients who self-report a penicillin allergy because dual allergy to both penicillin and cefazolin was just 0.7%, reveals a new study.
The study was conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the University of Porto in Portugal.
The researchers reported in JAMA Surgery that the frequency of allergies to both penicillins and cefazolin was so small that most patients should receive cefazolin regardless of their allergy history. Under current practice, the roughly 10% of U.S. patients reporting a penicillin allergy are less likely to receive cefazolin at the time of surgery and more likely to receive clindamycin or vancomycin, which increases their risk of developing a surgical infection, says co-first author Kimberly Blumenthal, MD, MSc, an investigator in the Division of Rheumatology, Allerg
