I dont think there is any doubt that it is indeed good for the liver and may offer some protection when taken as a supplement when someone intends to be drinking alcohol.
The following is an extract from the British Liver Trusts website. The only mention I can find of milk thistle on their website is on a public forum, so I dont imagine it is considered as a treatment by medical physicians.
*Almost all excessive drinkers will develop the first stage of alcoholic liver disease fatty liver. This is a �side-effect� of the liver breaking down alcohol into carbon dioxide and water. Fatty liver disappears when patients stop drinking excessively.*
