[What is Milk Thistle]

Milk Thistle is a unique herb which contains a natural compound called silymarin. Silymarin nourishes the liver like no other nutrient currently known. The liver acts as the body’s filter constantly cleansing to protect you from toxins.

Over time, these toxins can accumulate in the liver. Milk Thistle’s potent antioxidant properties and rejuvenating actions help keep the liver strong & healthy.

[Function]
1, Toxicology tests showed that:a strong effcets of protecting cell membrane of liver, in Clinical application, Milk Thistle

Extract has good results for the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and a variety of toxic liver damage, etc.;
2, Milk Thistle Extract significantly improves the liver function of the patients with symptoms of hepatitis;

3,Clinical applications: for the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver poisoning and other diseases.

Griffith’s experiment, reported in 1928 by Frederick Griffith,[1] was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation.[2][3]

Griffith used two strains of pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacteria which infect mice — a type III-S (smooth) and type II-R (rough) strain. The III-S strain covers itself with a polysaccharide capsule that protects it from the host’s immune system, resulting in the death of the host, while the II-R strain doesn’t have that protective capsule and is defeated by the host’s immune system. A German bacteriologist, Fred Neufeld, had discovered the three pneumococcal types (Types I, II, and III) and discovered the Quellung reaction to identify them in vitro.[4] Until Griffith’s experiment, bacteriologists believed that the types were fixed and unchangeable, from one generation to another.

In this experiment, bacteria from the III-S strain were killed by heat, and their remains were added to II-R strain bacteria. While neither alone harmed the mice, the combination was able to kill its host. Griffith was also able to isolate both live II-R and live III-S strains of pneumococcus from the blood of these dead mice. Griffith concluded that the type II-R had been “transformed” into the lethal III-S strain by a “transforming principle” that was somehow part of the dead III-S strain bacteria.

Today, we know that the “transforming principle” Griffith observed was the DNA of the III-S strain bacteria. While the bacteria had been killed, the DNA had survived the heating process and was taken up by the II-R strain bacteria. The III-S strain DNA contains the genes that form the protective polysaccharide capsule. Equipped with this gene, the former II-R strain bacteria were now protected from the host’s immune system and could kill the host. The exact nature of the transforming principle (DNA) was verified in the experiments done by Avery, McLeod and McCarty and by Hershey and Chase.
