in the end traditional medicine, at least for hbv is getting rare in china and western drugs are used, probably because more effective....

the community to discuss drugs other than interferon and antivirals is here,

we dont discuss them our community, only official treatments

on the contrary in the chinese forum chinese people rarely use chinese traditional medicine and posts of traditional medicine are not allowed unless approved by fda

in china they use about the same drugs as here, we have to be very thankful to them because most of them are using nitazoxanide and are checking hbsag quantity to see hbv clearance, test which is not available in US

Don’t worry, your disease can be treated, but it will take some time. I wish I can do something for you.

Hepatitis B is a virus that is carried in the blood which infects and damages the liver. In traditional Chinese medicine, the condition is thought to be caused by pathogenic damp-heat;

TCM for chronic diseases is not just for the relief of the symptoms, but more for the solutions. This is why more and more western people like to have TCM treatment instead of western medicine.

drugs are many but only these are good and approved by giudelines:
tenofovir, entecavir no sides or very rarely sides
interferon sides

all the others are too weak and are used only for particular cases in combo

many drugs are available for hepatitis B and work 100% cases when combined for the hardest cases which are only 10%

so while you can stop hepatitis and stop liver damage 100% eradication of the virus is difficult (liver disease and virus are not the same thing and you can have virus and no illness)

so 95-98% of adults clear hbv, about 5% carry hbv perfectly healthy and about 5% have hepatitis and liver damage, so it is important to know if you are in the 5% with hepatitis or just inactive virus with no damage

to know this all tests indicated here are necessary
http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Hepatitis/HepB-Introduction--Welcome-Page/show/34?cid=153

once all those tests result are given it is possible to say if you are clearing naturally as most do, inactive or have hepatitis nad need tretament
