Default milk thistle for nerve pain? Interesting!

I knew about the possibility of it being useful for liver cleansing, but I just found this on pubmed...

Yes, very interesting.

Seems only effective for end point pain/damage, and not higher compressive types of nerve damage.

I'll see if I can find more.

This is surprising to me. I have never really heard of "suppression" of nitric oxide as being a good thing. Quite the opposite actually based on numerous studies. Especially in tis ability to reduce inflammation, reduce bad cholesterol and blood pressure maybe I am reading the medical wonk speak wrong?

This article explains "too much nitric oxide"

http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.co.../nitric-oxide/

I think in the article linked here today, NO is mentioned as a signaling molecule to initiate the inflammatory cascade leading to nerve pain.

Interesting. I know Louis Ignarro won the nobel for his discovery on the power of nitric oxide and using L-Citruline, thats where much of this came from. Not that i trust the Nobel organization for various reasons i won't get into. I guess its tough to find a good balance on it. Not surprising at all seeing as how Ignarro had some conflict of interest issues that clouded his award.

You know when I first learned about Cox-2 and inflammation, it was from Barry Sears PhD...in his first book Enter the Zone.

NO is produced by the Cox-2 system (which is mostly inflammatory).

Here is a paper explaining the downside of NO...when overproduced:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170423/

cancer.

So nitric oxide levels are like a double edged sword... good in moderation, and not so good when not.
The first paragraph summarizes NO functions.
