people who suffered from megalomania

One of the most famous Arabs who suffered from megalomania is Saddam Hussein who only finished a war to engage in another and whom no one dared oppose. There’s also Muammar Qaddafi who crowned himself as the king of kings in Africa and the leader of Africans.

Hamad and megalomania

Hamad and megalomania Sunday, 3 September 2017Text size A A AMohammed Al Shaikh I think Hamad bin Khalifa, Qatar’s real ruler and the father of its current emir, suffers from megalomania. Megalomaniac people are extremely narcissistic and overconfident in such unjustified ways and they often feel that they can adapt circumstances and impossible geographic factors in their favor. Those who suffer from this disease are usually heads of states like the emperor of Rome Nero who played music as he watched Rome burn and Adolf Hitler who believed that the Aryan race was gifted above all other races. Hitler thus believed he must rule the world so he mobilized armies and sparked wars that killed more than 50 million people across Europe.

Qaddafi squandered Libya’s wealth on causes which the Libyans have nothing to do with only because he felt that he was the last “rebel” whom God sent to support rebels across the world. Hamad bin Khalifa surrounded himself with a group of opportunists and imposters, which include Arab leftists, and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. They convinced him that he was born to lead. They convinced him that the Arab world is waiting for him to spark the Arab Spring, topple regimes and let the winds of change rock Arab thrones so he assigns rulers and Doha can become like Damascus was for the Umayyads or Baghdad was for the Abbasids. What’s sad, especially for the people of Qatar, is that the lives of megalomaniac leaders end in disaster that brings about catastrophic results to their people Mohammed Al Shaikh Lack of loyalty Besides his megalomania, Hamad is a treacherous man who does not know loyalty. He can ally with you today and turn against you tomorrow. He remains convinced that the Arab Spring did not fail and that he will achieve his dreams. Stubbornness is often associated with megalomania as one pursues mad dreams, squanders money like he does not fear poverty and lies to himself and says that everyone is conspiring against him and that any conflict must end with him standing and others getting eliminated. I think the one who resembles Hamad bin Khalifa the most is Qaddafi as they are two sides of the same coin. Leftists and men with wild dreams also surrounded Qaddafi and became wealthy thanks to him, especially if they were willing to carry out his orders and execute his conspiracies. Hamad is also surrounded by murderous Muslim Brotherhood figures and Arab leftists whose major platform is Al-Jazeera television channel, which is Hamad’s favorite weapon to achieve his aspirations. Also read: Will Qatar be suspended from the GCC if it rejects Arab demands? These figures are regular guests of the Amiri palace in Doha. They discuss the details of the channel’s programs with him as Hamad bin Thamer, the chairman of the board of the Al Jazeera Media Network, is of no worth whom none of the network’s employees take into consideration because he’s just a powerless figurehead. This is what Qataris say in their private gatherings. What’s sad, especially for the people of Qatar, is that the lives of megalomaniac leaders – as we’ve seen throughout history with Nero, Hitler, Saddam and Qaddafi – end in disaster that brings about catastrophic results to their people. A megalomaniac leader continues to commit mistakes while neglecting everyone. He despises everyone around him and insists on his stances and stubbornness until the final fall. Qaddafi’s yesterday resembles Hamad’s present! You will remember my words very soon.

can large gold nuggets still be found?

Two historic gold nuggets found in Victoria, Australia in the 1800s were both larger than the Brazilian Pepita Canaã nugget, and both at times still appear in “world’s largest gold nugget lists”. The first of these was “The Welcome” nugget found in Ballarat in 1858 during the Victoria gold rush.

The Biggest Gold Nuggets in Existence

The Biggest Gold Nuggets in Existence“Pepita Canaã” The largest surviving Gold Nugget, on display at the Brazilian central bank headquarters, Brasilia Ironstone’s “Crown Jewel” gold nugget is a single piece of crystalline leaf gold found in California in December 1992 by Sonora Mining Company is the 5th largest and pictured above Throughout gold rush and gold mining history, the discovery of a large gold nugget is a phenomenon which always causes excitement throughout a mining community as well as capturing the wider public’s imagination. It has probably something to do with so much gold being found at the same time, often with relative ease. Gold nuggets can be found in alluvial deposits (sediments formed by water movement) or in other placer deposits (formed by other movement), but gold nuggets can also be found in or close to primary gold deposits, for example gold lodes or veins which have been exposed by the weather. “Gold nuggets” can also technically be extracted from hard rock gold deposits as long as the surrounding rock can be removed. There are a number of gold nuggets which claim to be the world’s largest. Obviously, not all of these claims can be true. There are also a number of “largest gold nuggets” lists which confusingly mix historical nuggets which no longer exist alongside nuggets which still exist. We think a list of gold nuggets which still exist is more accurate, since many historical nuggets are now just legends and have long since been melted down into gold bars or gold coins. Therefore, the following list, based on research to the best of our abilities, profiles the largest ‘named’ gold nuggets which are still in one piece, all of which are famous, all of which are on display, and all of which can be visited by the public.1. Pepita Canaã, Brazil The world’s largest surviving gold nugget is the Pepita Canaã (Canaan Nugget) which was found by miner Júlio de Deus Filho in the Serra Pelada (‘Naked Mountain’) gold mining region of Brazilian state of Pará in 1983. The Pepita Canaã gold nugget has a gross weight of 60.82 kgs and contains 52.33 kgs of gold, or 1682 troy ounces of gold. The “Canaan” gold nugget was purchased by the Banco Central do Brazil in 1984, and is now on display in the “Gold Room” of the central bank’s money museum (Museu de Valores do Banco Central in Brazil) in Brazil’s federal capital Brasilia. Notably, the source nugget from which the Pepita Canaã nugget came was actually larger, but it split into several pieces while being removed from the ground.“Pepita Canaã” – The largest surviving gold nugget, on display at the Brazilian central bank headquarters, Brasilia In the early 1980s, Serra Pelada became known as one of the world’s most notorious gold mining areas when over 100,000 freelance miners flocked there to engage in open air gold mining excavations in vast, dangerous, and crowded conditions. The Serra Pelada has essentially been closed since the late 1980s and gold mining is no longer possible due to flooding and government prohibitions. However, Brazil is still a significant gold producer, with gold production output in 2016 totalling 80 tonnes, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). Serra Pelada gold rush, Para, Brazil, 1980s2. The Great Triangle, Russia The world’s 2nd largest surviving gold nugget is the “Great Triangle”. This gold nugget was found in the Miass area of the Russian Urals mountains in 1842 by Nikofor Syutkin. It has a gross weight of 36.2 kgs and a gold assay of 91%, meaning that it has a fine gold content of 32.94 kgs, or 1059 troy ounces of gold. The “Great Triangle” has dimensions of 31 cms * 27.5 cms * 8 cms, and as the name suggests, it is triangular in shape. When found, it was dug up from a depth of about 3.5 metres. The Great Triangle gold nugget on display at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia The Great Triangle gold nugget is owned by the Russian State, and through the Gokhran Fund (State Fund for Precious Stones and Precious Metals), it is currently on display in the ‘ Diamond Fund ‘ collection in the Kremlin in Moscow. The Diamond Fund is an extensive permanent exhibition of the Russian state’s crown jewels, precious stones and gold and platinum nuggets. While the Urals was 1 of Russia’s first gold mining areas, today, there are extensive gold mining operations in many areas of the Russian Federation, particularly in the East of the country. Russia is currently the world’s 3rd largest gold producer, with mining production output of 250 tonnes of gold in 2016.3. Hand of Faith, Australia The “Hand of Faith” is a 27.66 kgs gold nugget found by in the area of Kingower, Victoria, Australia in 1980 by a local, Kevin Hillier. This gold nugget has the distinction of being the largest gold nugget ever found using a metal detector. It contains 875 troy ounces of gold, and has dimensions of 47 cms * 20 cms * 9 cms. The “Hand of Faith” nugget was purchased by the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, and is currently on display in the casino lobby on East Fremont Street in the old downtown center of Las Vegas. Hand of Faith gold nugget on display in the Golden Nugget casino, Las Vegas The Golden Nugget Casino claims on its website that the “Hand of Faith” nugget is the world’s largest surviving gold nugget, but this is not the case given the existence of other larger gold nuggets such as Brazil’s Pepita Canaã and Russia’s Great Triangle nuggets.4. Normandy Nugget, Australia The “Normandy Nugget” is the name given to a 25.5 kgs (820 ozs) gold nugget found is 1995 in the important gold mining centre of Kalgoorie, Western Australia. Assay analysis shows the Normandy Nugget to have a gold purity of between 80% and 90% . The Normandy Nugget was purchased from the finder in 2000 by Normandy Mining, which is now part of Newmont Gold Corporation, and the nugget is currently on display in the museum of the Perth Mint based on a long-term agreement with Newmont. The “Normandy Nugget”, on display at the Perth Mint, Western Australia Western Australia is the country’s most important gold mining region and has been since the late 1880s when gold was discovered in a number of areas including Kalgoorie. Today, Kalgoorie is home to the Super-pit, one of Australia’s largest open-cast gold mines. According to the US Geological Survey, Australia is the world’s 2nd largest gold producer, with gold mine output of 270 tonnes in 2016.5. Ironstone’s “Crown Jewel”, California Ironstone’s “Crown Jewel” gold nugget is a single piece of crystalline leaf gold found in California in December 1992 by Sonora Mining Company. The gold was found embedded in quartz rock, however through a cleaning process involving hydrofluoric acid, most of the quartz was removed to reveal a single mass of gold weighing 44 troy pounds (16.4 kgs). Ironstone Crown Jewel, Crystalline Leaf Gold The Ironstone “nugget” is now on display at a heritage museum in Ironstone Vineyards in California, and is sometimes referred to as the “Kautz Crystalline Gold Leaf Specimen” in reference to John Kautz, owner of Ironstone Vineyards. Gold and California have been interlinked since the famous northern California gold rush of the late 1840s – early 1850s. The US is still a major gold producer, and in 2016 produced an estimated 209 tonnes of gold according to US Geological Surveys (USGS), putting it in 4th place behind, Chine, Australia and Russia. Nevada and Alaska are the US’ 2 primary gold producing states, although there are still gold mining operations in California such as New Gold’s Mesquite gold mine. Footnotes: There are actually a number of gold nuggets from Brazil’s Serra Pelada region on display in the Brazilian central bank’s museum. A list of these gold nuggets can be seen here. Three of these additional gold nuggets are listed with gold content weights of 30.56 kgs, 29.89 kgs, and 28.2 kgs, respectively, which would make them larger than both the ‘Hand of Faith’ nugget and the ‘Normandy Nugget’. However, none of these other Brazilian gold nuggets has received fame in the same way as the Pepita Canaã nugget, and the Banco Central do Brasil seems to prefer to display them anonymously. Technically these other Brazilian gold nuggets from Serra Pelada would push both the Australian nuggets and the Ironstone nugget down the list.

This gold nugget weighed approximately 69.98 kgs. However, “The Welcome” was subsequently shipped to England and melted down by the Royal Mint in 1859 to fabricate Gold Sovereign coins. Replicas of “The Welcome” can still be seen today in a number of Australian museums. The 2nd large historical gold nugget found in Australia was the “Welcome Stranger” which was discovered in Victoria in 1869. Reports as to its weight vary but are consistently above 70 kgs of gold content. Within a few days of it being found, the Welcome Stranger was cut up, melted down into ingots, and shipped to the Bank of England via Melbourne. A replica of the Welcome Stranger nugget can still be seen today at the City Museum in Melbourne. Source Bullion Star Have a terrific weekend.

how to spray baste a large quilt on a table

ds. Spray basting the first half of the quilt So – I’m a convert. Now to the mechanics of spray basting. Layer your quilt in the normal way: backing fabric right side down, then wadding, then quilt top with right side up. I usually try and leave the three layers lying for a few hours to let them settle down. Before beginning spray basting, open a window and lay newspaper down on the area where you will be working.

SPRAY BASTING QUILTS

SPRAY BASTING QUILTSOver the years I have dabbled with different methods of basting quilts, always trying to find the way that seemd to work best for providing a flat quilt to make quilting it easier. For a long time I resisted spray basting because I would be doing it on my own and I thought that two people would be needed. I thought the spray basting had to be done outdoors and the English climate does not lend itself to this. I thought that if there was a wrinkle in my spray basted quilt I would not be able to correct it. I thought that the quilting needed to be done straight away after spray basting or the layers would come apart. I was wrong on all counts. I just wish now that I had tried spray basting my quilts a long time ago – well, my small quilts anyway. I can cope easily on my own with spray basting a small quilt by folding it in half and oing one half at a time. it is best to have good ventilation when spray basting, but that means a window open, not having to be outside. If there is a wrinkle in any layer of spray basted quilt, I just separate the layers, smooth the wrinkle out and then smooth the layers back down. if I don’t have time to quilt immediately after I have spray basted, the layers are still well stuck together for days afterwar

Lay the quilt on top of the newspaper. When you are ready to begin spray basting, peel back the quilt top and wadding to half way so that just the backing fabric is exposed. Spray from about 10″ away in a general zigzag pattern. You don’t want to saturate the fabric – just enough for the adhesive to be able to work. Lay the wadding down on top of the backing fabric and smooth gently from the middle to the border. If you find a wrinkle just lift the wadding, smooth the wrinkle and put the wadding back down again. Spray baste the top of the wadding in the same way and smooth the quilt top down over it. Spray basting the second half of the quilt Turn the quilt around to the other half that have not spray basted, peel back the wadding and quilt top and repeat the process. Leave for half an hour or so and your quilt will be ready for quilting. I haven’t been as successful with spray basting large quilts but I think it would work just as well provided that you had someone to help straighten out the layers of quilt. This video is my first attempt at video instructions and I hope that it will demonstrate all of the above.

Originally named “Cadabra”, the name was changed to Amazon prior to the website going online in 1995. The company started out selling books, and was successful at doing so. Amazon would become a nearly instant success, earning $20K per week within the first two months of opening its virtual doors. Amazon’s global headquarters are located in Seattle, Washington, and encompasses 14 buildings. A new headquarters building is in the works, also located in Seattle. Between the years of 1998 and 2004, Amazon would start to expand its product line and offer incentives to purchase, such as free shipping on purchases that met spending requirements. Amazon Prime, which offers free two-day shipping in exchange for a flat, yearly fee was introduced in 2005. Several cloud computing initiatives would enter the Amazon lineup in 2006. Highlights of 2007 included the launch of Amazon Music and launch of the first Kindle. With a selling price of US$399, the Kindle was an instant hit. The device sold out in just over five hours after hitting the market and continued to be out of stock until spring of 2008.2011 was an import year for Amazon, as the company introduced Amazon Video, the Amazon Appstore, and Amazon Locker, which allowed purchases made on the site to be picked up locally from a locker location. The Kindle Fire was also introduced in 2011, with the Kindle Fire HD series following in 2012. The Amazon Fire would hit the market in 2014. More recently, Amazon opened its very first physical store location in Seattle. “Amazon Books” operates as a bookstore, offering prices that match those on the website and online review information integrated on store shelves. By 2015, Amazon had overtaken Walmart as the most valuable U. S. retailer. How to Contact Amazon

It obtains the following information: LN Manufacturing uses straight-line depreciation. Ignore the time value of money and income taxes. Should LN Manufacturing replace the old machine? Explain.11-18 Multiple choice. (CPA) Choose the best answer. The Dalton Company manufactures slippers and sells them at $12 a pair. Variable manufacturing cost is $5.00 a pair, and allocated fixed manufacturing cost is $1.25 a pair. It has enough idle capacity available to accept a one-time-only special order of 5,000 pairs of slippers at $6.25 a pair. Dalton will not incur any marketing costs as a result of the special order. What would the effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales: (a) $0, (b) $6,250 increase, (c) $28,750 increase, or (d) $31,250 increase? Show your calculations. The Sacramento Company manufactures Part No. 498 for use in its production line. The manufacturing cost per unit for 30,000 units of Part No. 498 is as follows: The Counter Company has offered to sell 30,000 units of Part No. 498 to Sacramento for $47 per unit. Sacramento will make the decision to buy the part from Counter if there is an overall savings of at least $30,000 for Sacramento. If Sacramento accepts Counter’s offer, $8 per unit of the fixed overhead allocated would be eliminated. Furthermore, Sacramento has determined that the released facilities could be used to save relevant costs in the manufacture of Part No. 575. For Sacramento to achieve an overall savings of $30,000, the amount of relevant costs that would have to be saved by using the released facilities in the manufacture of Part No. 575 would be which of the following: (a) $90,000, (b) $150,000, (c) $180,000, or (d) $210,000?

(CMA, adapted) The Gold Plus Company manufactures medals for winners of athletic events and other contests. Its manufacturing plant has the capacity to produce 11,000 medals each month. Current production and sales are 10,000 medals per month. The company normally charges $150 per medal. Cost information for the current activity level is as follows: Gold Plus has just received a special one-time-only order for 1,000 medals at $100 per medal. Accepting the special order would not affect the company’s regular business. Gold Plus makes medals for its existing customers in batch sizes of 50 medals (200 batches × 50 medals per batch = 10,000 medals). The special order requires Gold Plus to make the medals in 25 batches of 40 medals. Required: Should Gold Plus accept this special order? Show your calculations. Suppose plant capacity were only 10,500 medals instead of 11,000 medals each month. The special order must either be taken in full or be rejected completely. Should Gold Plus accept the special order? Show your calculations. As in requirement 1, assume that monthly capacity is 11,000 medals. Gold Plus is concerned that if it accepts the special order, its existing customers will immediately demand a price discount of $10 in the month in which the special order is being filled. They would argue that Gold Plus’s capacity costs are now being spread over more units and that existing customers should get the benefit of these lower costs. Should Gold Plus accept the special order under these conditions? Show your calculations.11-22 Relevant costs, contribution margin, product emphasis.

what is normal temporal temperature

Dec 8, '13 by chare“Normal” temperature is 37� C (98.6� F), regardless of where it is taken. People will tell you that you need to add 1� C if taken other than rectal, but this is not supported in the literature. When recording the temperature you should also record the location that it was taken.

I thought 37.5 degrees C is a fever? or anything that is a huge jump from their normal? ?2 Comments Comment#1 0

It should be noted, however, that most individuals will vary ~0.5� C – 1� C throughout the course of the day. 37.5� C (99.5� F) is not considered a fever. You will likely find little consensus on exactly what temperature determines a fever. In the PICU where I work, most of the physicians and nurses consider 38.5�C (101.3� F) to be febrile and will treat accordingly. There are some sources that say that the decision to treat the fever be based upon patient comfort rather than a pre-determined temperature level.#2 0Dec 8, '13 by Kel RN215, BSN, RN37 C is 98.6 F which is normal body temperature so, no, that's not considered a fever. I've never worked anywhere that considered 37.5 C to be a fever either. I agree with chare, 38.5 C is what we called a fever in acute care and when we instruct our outpatient oncology patients to report to the MD. (They also have to call if they have temps > 38 C/100.4F twice in a 24 hr period.)

However, he is also well known for having been believed to be the returned biblical massiah, by adherents of the Rastafarri religion. As Emperor for nearly 45 years, Haile Selassie's reign bore witness to the major events of the twenty century, such as World War II; the de-colonization of of the African continent and the emergence of the newly re-organized African states; as well as the growth of the Black consciousness movement. As a major African power Emperor Haile Selassie's reign was sometimes, intimately involved in shaping those events. For instance, the Emperor's reign was intimately related to the rise of fascism in Western Europe, the failure of international institutions to meet that challenge, as well as the establishment of the new post world War II international order. In the mid 1930's, fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia, despite the 20-year peace treaty that had been established between the two countries. The invasion and subsequent occupation showed the ineffectiveness of the League of Nations, to which Ethiopia was a member. This second Ethio-Italian war was a precursor to World War II and after its end, the new world order would welcome the creation of United Nations.346 Views · View Upvoterspromoted by Sync.com Introducing Sync.com secure cloud storage.

Remove both battery cables from the battery terminals. First remove the negative (black) cable and then the positive (red) cable. Check that the charger is not plugged in to an electric outlet and that the power switch is off. Connect the positive (usually red) charger cable to the positive (+) battery terminal and the negative (usually black) cable to the negative (-) battery terminal. Decide whether you want to charge the battery slowly (trickle charge) or quickly.

How to Use a Car Battery Charger

Up Next A car battery contains chemicals that produce hydrogen gas during use. Hydrogen gas is volatile and has been known to explode under certain conditions, causing serious injuries. For example, a car battery may explode while starting the car, while jump starting or by carelessly shorting the terminals with a screwdriver. In fact, under certain conditions a car battery may explode while just sitting in a parked car or on a table [source: battery-chargers ]. Keeping this mind, here's how to safely use a car battery charger:

Use the correct charger for your particular car battery. Check the car owner's manual for information (or ask your car dealer or trusted auto mechanic). Read the charger manual and make sure you understand how the charger works and what precautions are necessary. Pay close attention to all the warnings.

Select a lower charging voltage and current for a trickle charge and a higher setting for a quicker charge. Check the charger manual for the proper settings. Note that trickle charging gives the best results. Select whether the charger will run for a specific amount of time or automatically shut off when the battery is charged. Not all chargers have this feature. Leave the charger or cables in one place while the battery is charging. Turn off and unplug the charger when the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the cables, starting with the negative cable, and then moving on to the positive cable [source: Cars Direct ].

what is milk thistle useful in treating?

k. Top 6 Milk Thistle Benefits1. Liver Detoxification & Health As a liver support and liver aid, milk thistle is a powerful detoxifier. It helps rebuild liver cells while removing toxins from the body that are processed through the liver.

Natural Remedies Herbs & Spices Milk Thistle Benefits: Detox the Liver & Boost Glutathione Milk Thistle Benefits: Detox the Liver & Boost Glutathione5181 102 2019Milk thistle, a natural herb that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is commonly used to detoxify the body, especially the liver.

Milk thistle (which has the scientific name Silybum marianum) grows mostly in California (although it can be grown in many parts of the world with a warm climate) that’s commonly turned into extract or supplement form in order to reap its cell regenerating milk thistle benefits.

As an herb that’s considered a “hepatic, galactogogue, demulcent and cholagogue,” milk thistle is thought to be able to promote healthy digestive function by helping with enzyme formation, increasing bile production, decreasing inflammation and soothing the mucous membranes throughout the body. What Is Milk Thistle? Milk thistle has actually been used for over 2,000 years. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region and a member of the Asteraceae plant family, which also includes other plants like sunflowers and daisies. The Greek physician and botanist Dioscorides was the first to describe milk thistle’s healing properties back in the year 40 A. D.

Milk thistle benefits work by drawing toxins out of the body that can cause a range of symptoms and diseases — including cancer development, high cholesterol , diabetes, kidney stones, gall bladder disorders, negative effects of chemotherapy, alcohol use, skin damage and many more. ( 1)

As an antioxidant, milk thistle is equally powerful to other important nutrients like vitamin E or vitamin C, which help fight free radical damage and slow the aging process, which can lead to disease development. It specifically contains high levels of lipophilic extracts from the seeds of the plant, which act as bioflavanoid antioxidants that increase immunity and slow down oxidative stress. ( 2)

While it has many different benefits, milk thistle is most well-known for being a natural liver supporter and detoxifier. The liver constantly works hard to help defend us from toxins that are common in our everyday life, acting like a filter and removing harmful substances from the body.

Milk thistle is shown to decrease, or even reverse, damage to the liver that’s been caused by prescription medications, antibiotics, pollution, heavy metals and so on. There are a variety of milk thistle products availab

le. The seeds and leaves of the milk thistle plant can be consumed either in pill, powder, tincture, extract or tea form. The seeds can actually be eaten completely raw, too, but usually people prefer to take a milk thistle extract or supplement in order to consume a higher dose and see bigger results.

Milk thistle gets its name from the milky-white liquid that runs off of the plant’s leaves when they’re crushed. The actual leaves of the plant also have a spotted white pattern that makes them look as if they’ve been dunked in mil

Milk thistle is effective at naturally reversing the harmful effects of alcohol consumption, pesticides in our food supply, heavy metals in our water supply, pollution in the air that we breathe and even poisons!The liver is actually our largest internal organ and is responsible for performing a number of essential detoxifying functions. The condition of our blood throughout our whole body is mostly reliant on the health of our liver. As a “blood purifier,” the liver needs to actively clean the blood each and every day in order to support nearly every system within our body. The liver helps remove harmful substances from our blood, aids in hormone production, detoxifies the body, releases glucose into the bloodstream in order to give our body steady energy and releases bile into our small intestine so fat can be absorbed from foods. You can see why poor liver function can create so many problems!Milk thistle has been historically used for various liver diseases, including: ( 3)fatty liver syndromedamage from alcoholism ( cirrhosis)jaundicepsoriasishepatitis2. May Help Protect Against Cancer Milk thistle seeds are a high source of the antioxidant flavonoid called silymarin, which is actually composed of several other active compounds known as flavolignans. ( 4) Silymarin is associated with decreasing the risk for cancer development by boosting the immune system, fighting DNA damage and reversing cancerous tumor growth. In 2007, after reviewing numerous studies involving milk thistle therapeutic treatments, researchers at the University of Minnesota found that: There is strong preclinical evidence for silymarin’s hepatoprotective and anticarcinogenic effects, including inhibition of cancer cell growth in human prostate, skin, breast, and cervical cells. ( 5)About 50 percent to 70 percent of the silymarin molecules present within milk thistle are the type called silybin, also known as silibinin. This antioxidant stimulates protein synthesis and changes the outside layer of healthy cells, keeping them protected from damage and mutation. It inhibits toxins from dwelling in the body; helps with cell renewal; and counteracts the harmful effects of pollutants, chemicals and heavy metals that can cause “free radical damage.”Silymarin acts as a cancer protector because it’s “a toxin blockade agent” and inhibits binding of toxins to the cell membrane receptors, according to researchers at the University Magna Graecia Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine.

National Library of Medicine considers milk thistle to be a powerful anti-inflammatory. Milk thistle benefits heart health and helps lower high cholesterol levels by lowering inflammation, cleaning the blood and preventing oxidative stress damage within the arteries. Although more formal research is still needed, preliminary studies show that when silymarin (milk thistle extract) is used in combination with other traditional treatment methods, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides levels all improve compared to levels before taking milk thistle. ( 7)Something important to keep in mind, however, is that existing studies on possible heart benefits of milk thistle have only been done involving people with diabetes, who tend to have high cholesterol levels. So at this time it’s unclear if milk thistle has the same effects in other people and if it will be used to naturally lower cholesterol levels in the future.4. May Help Control or Prevent Diabetes According to National Institute of Health, there’s some compelling research showing that taking silymarin, the main chemical found in milk thistle, along with conventional treatments, can help control symptoms of diabetes by helping with glycemic control. The valuable effect of antioxidants found in milk thistle has been reported in experimental and clinical studies to help decrease blood sugar levels in insulin-resistant patients. One 2006 study conducted by the Department of Pharmacology at the Institute of Medicinal Plants found that when diabetic patients were given silymarin extract over four weeks, their fasting blood glucose and insulin levels improved significantly compared to patients receiving a placebo. ( 8)This is likely true because the liver is partly responsible for regulating hormones, including the release of insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin is responsible for managing blood glucose (sugar) levels in the blood, which is especially important for those with diabetes.5. Helps Prevent Gallstones The liver is a major digestive organ, helping process nutrients and toxins that enter our body through foods, water and air. Because the liver and other digestive organs — like the gallbladder, pancreas, intestines and kidneys — work closely together to improve liver health, milk thistle is also able to help prevent gallstones and kidney stones. In small animal studies, it seems that a formulation of milk thistle might help improve the development of gallstones. ( 9)6. Has Anti-Aging Effects Because milk thistle’s antioxidants help prevent free radical damage throughout the body and remove pollutants and waste from the blood and digestive tract, it may actually help slow the aging process. This is true on both the surface of your skin and also within your organs, as antioxidants can protect your body from chronic disease. Milk thistle’s protective qualities of the skin may make it great for reducing visible signs of aging, so consuming milk thistle may be an easy way to prevent skin cancer and skin damage, such as dark spots, wrinkles, lines and discoloration. ( 10) The same antioxidant properties make it useful for maintaining the health of your eyes, joints and muscles. Milk Thistle and Glutathio

ne Silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, is an antioxidant that can protect against depletion of glutathione, which is a “master antioxidant” that’s extremely useful at helping prevent disease formation. Glutathione is found naturally in the human body, as well as in some plants, mushrooms, fungi and algae.

Glutathione’s biggest role is to help fight oxidative stress that leads to such diseases as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases. It can help prevent damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species, such as free radicals.

One of the biggest milk thistle benefits is that it preserves glutathione. The modern American diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and radiation all work to deplete liver capabilities and also glutathione in the body.

Milk thistle helps increase glutathione levels by improving liver detox functions. Milk thistle strengthens the liver cell walls, buffering them from invading toxins, and supports liver regeneration and glutathione formation. Recommended Dosage of Milk Thistle Because milk thistle is categorized as a supplement, rather than a drug, it’s not subject to the same oversight and quality control from the FDA that standard drugs are. The amount of active ingredients can vary widely depending on the different preparation methods used and the brand. Currently, there are several different milk thistle products available on the market, all recommending different doses. There is no nationally standardized milk thistle dosing yet at this time, but most people do best consuming between 20–300 milligrams daily. Supplement Fo

rm As a way to detoxify the body temporarily, the recommended daily intake of milk thistle is 150 milligrams, taken one to three times daily. This is a somewhat high dose that can act as a natural liver “detox.”For ongoing use and liver support, take 50 to 150 milligrams daily.

Look for a high-quality product that’s between 50–150 milligrams of pure milk thistle extract per capsule so you can adjust the amount you are taking depending on your needs. And make sure to look for a company that sells a highly potent extract labeled at least 80 percent pure milk thistle extract. Tea Form You can also try benefiting from milk thistle by consuming it in tea form. Many companies make milk thistle tea by steeping the leaves and seeds from the plant. You can also grow your own milk thistle and make homemade tea if you’re up for harvesting the plants. Each small plant head contains about 190 seeds that can be used in various ways. If you purchase or grow a milk thistle plant, cut off the entire head and hang the plant upside down for about one week to draw out the seeds. You can then crush the seeds and steep them, along with the leaves, to make tea; eat them raw; or dry them into powder form. Keep the seeds and leaves in the freezer to make them last longer and retain their powerful nutrien

ts. Milk Thistle Side Effects Milk thistle is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with very few cases of side effects ever reported. The most common side effects aren’t serious and include gastrointestinal upset, such as a mild laxative effect.

When taken within the recommended dose range, milk thistle is thought to be effective and mostly free of allergic reactions. ( 10)Milk thistle may interact with some medications, including allergy medicines, anti-anxiety drugs, and blood thinners, among others. If you are taking any medications, speak with your health care provider before taking milk thistle. Also note that antioxidants like those found in milk thistle have been shown to possibly interfere with the efficacy of some cancer chemotherapy drugs by protecting cancer cells from cell death.
