alice can you tell us what treatment you are using?
I am interested
THANKS
Yes I read plenty. Why ain't you "fully cured" from hbv if TDF and interferon is the "cure"? I'm not talking about responded. I'm talking about fully cured. Why are doctors working hard to find an actual cure if tdf/interferon is the answer? I've checked post from several years back. So many members here have also said they failed to cure on the tdf/interferon combo? I guess they were just a non responder huh, Dr. Steff?
you dont read our community at all, most members who did peg here, cleared or responded, just check the older posts there are some with all memebers name who cleared
I agree with veteranb. If tenofovir plus interferon add is "the cure" for hbv, then why do most people on here that try both have failed to cure? I've also lost so much muscle mass. I hope I'm wrong but looks like my cpk is permanently high.
I don't know weather herbs work or not but m taking few like phyllanthus and andrographis etc from past 2 yrs. who knows wat may do "magic" ha ha.
Any ways wait for my results till next week of 12peg shots.

HBsAg secretion into the culture media is obteined by soooo many drugs even old cheap generics approved drugs......in vivo is another universe and what works in culture doesnt work in vivo most of the time.unless a substance is used in vivo on humans and for long time it is scam
in vivo, on human trials and for long time:
the only thing to block hbsag secretion on small human trials is rep9ac by replicor and the only thing to block infection of liver cells by hbv is myrcludex which will be soon available

since we have scum guy very often with herbs from africa and philippines this forum is not to discuss herbs but hbv drugs.
we open a channel for herbals and other treatments, i have no idea if still open since most posters were scamers with little follow up
Do you mean this paper and this herb from India?
A Herbal Medicine Inhibits Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Secretion in Transfected Human Hepatocarcinoma PLC/PRF/5 Cells
http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/herbal-medicine-inhibits-hepatitis-b-surface-antigen-secretion-transfected
Herbal treatments are not real treatments and do nothing. Stef2011 is correct, you can get TDF for less than $100/month - I've purchased before. Company that makes the drug is called Cipla and they're one of the biggest manufacturers in India. Look on pharmacychecker.com for up to date pricing.
don't be afraid of hbv people, we are outcasts anyway. Living a miserable life, for the most part. Victimized by big-pharma conspiracy and eugenics health insurance programs in some countries.
So if you have something to share please please post without any drama.
regarding herbs, why people are suspicious of them is because people come to forums such as these and claim miracle cures without any proof or medical records..
You have to understand that HBV progression depends on persons immune system function. Some people do great without meds, some don't at all. Why that is they are not looking into this, or not telling us.
But regarding herbs and other alternative treatments that are reported to work, people like to hear about and see at least some documented proof..
If you take Chanca Piedra show us your base line tests, followed by more tests, blood DNA and liver enzymes are ok. So that we can try it and compare results.. That is how one contributes.
You have a magic tea from Africa, then tell us what you take exactly at least...
hep b surface antigen = hbsag in short that medical professionals use..
p.s. nobody treated you like a scammer..
There are a lot of sick people here. That have tried many things and so far nothing worked in suppressing the virus like the dreaded nucs.
If you have a herbal formula, find out what this is at least before posting here. because sick people everyday hope for a miracle to come along and a chance at a new normal life.
As stef said DNA fluctuates in chronic HBV infection. Factors that they don't really understand yet.
If you came here to share iinfo on herbs you take please post what you take and how much as well as your labs results. And we want to see several of these to see the dynamics of your progress. That is how you help people.
Dont argue with stefan here. He is one of the most knowledgeble patient-doctors that reallly trully helps people.
But if you believe in herbs that they work which many of us think as well please show your labs in a separate thread.
Stil on trial. Need mass trial for it to be approved. Still a long way to go. Hopefully future trial will be brilliant. We have a good percentage cure for Hep C, surely Hep B must be coming soon, fingers crossed.
If HBV cure is Rep9 plus interferon or zadaxin, please share your basis or reference so we can check.
Cure is not tenofovir plus interferon. It is a long cure. Cure is Rep9 plus interferon or zadaxin. 7-12 weeks it takes that is what being reported.
Taking nucs is dangerous for a long time over a period of one year. I can attest to that. And I am sure you can too. That lymphodistropy - muscle loss you have reported is exactly what happens on nucs after years of taking them.
So we really need to stop talking about nucs. group of drugs that was developed to slow down cancer. Is not what we need that are them self carcinogenic.
The focus of this forum should be release new drugs now.
Stef, where can I get tdf at 100usd a month? Can you send me the link? Thanks! Is this original or generic? Im now paying about 230usd a month.
if not available in cameroon tenofovir on online websites is around 100usd per month and as low as 19usd per month in indian pharmacies
peginterferon is very expensive, affordable only in india, vietnam hwere generic brands are available, about 100usd per injection in india
european countries with public helathcare supply these drugs for free
if your hbvdna is 10iu/ml or less tenofovir is not needed, peginterferon clears hbsag in about 30% cases when hbvdna is very low
Hi everyone -
Please talk to your own doctors before taking any medication, whether it is traditional or herbal, and that no herbal has been proven scientifically to cure HBV.
We wish you all the best.
Emily
hbv has already the cures to clear hbv definitively, there is no need of herbals and nobody is looking for herbals here, we all know that the cure is tenofovir and then peginterferon add on
people should not send pm to you at all and if so we will ban you as a scam, stop any post about your herbals which cure nothing
you can believe what you like and even drink poison but you are not allowed to come here and propose your fantasies to others
500usd per month for a herb....this is a total scam without even the tests to know if it has any effect on hbv (hbvdna cannot show clearance of hbv)
Hi there,
I think you should get tested for the status of your disease. I really doubt if herbal medicines can cure hepatitis B completely. Most of the cases of hepatitis B cure spontaneously and may not require treatment. A repeat test after 6 months may help in detecting whether you have cleared the virus or if the infection is persisting. Antiviral drugs are prescribed by a doctor in few cases where infection is most likely to progress to active hepatitis or cirrhosis. The decision to start treatment depends on liver function tests, HBV DNA tests, and liver biopsy results along with a complete history and physical examination .See a hepatologist for more queries and concerns. Keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
