Milk thistle, for example, contains a chemical called silymarin that may reduce liver inflammation.

In addition to taking cesium chloride supplements daily, she was supplementing with selenium, potassium, vitamin D, silymarin, folic acid and a multivitamin.

Since the first published report of the use of injectable silymarin for amanitin poisoning, in 2008, there has been broader acceptance of this treatment, although it must still be imported from Europe and treated as an experimental drug.

Some were given a placebo while others received silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, three times a day in either normal or high doses.

Both doses of silymarin - 420 milligrams and 700 milligrams - were higher than the traditional amount in most supplements.
