How to know if you have HPV.
Yes, definitely. This is actually one of the most effective herbal remedies, and a concentrated form is the only treatment for certain kinds of poisoning (death cap mushrooms).

Milk thistle may lose potency over time, and you can never be sure if store-bought preparations include the active principle, so use the fresh plant if possible. If you have to buy it as an extract, make sure it's standardized for silymarin content.
