I was just diagnosed with MSk, and my doctor told me to eat a diet of mostly fruits and vegetables, and to limit my meat, but not eliminate it altogether. He said to make sure I eat plenty of dairy, even though calcium forms kidney stones. Some people mistakenly try to stop eating calcium in the mistaken notion that it will help not form stones, but my doctor said it has the opposite effect.

I have hundreds of them. A good source of milk thistle, as well as in encapsulized form, is in the energy drink, "Rockstar". I drink one each day, and the added taurine is also good for improved circulation. Be sure to only drink them in moderation, as with any food or drink that contain additive components.
