Hi all,

To all the Interferon patient out there, is there any supplement we should take with Interferon mono therapy and any we should avoid.

Thank you.

I am wondering if the ALT is high after IFN, what's a good supplement to take? Currently after 4 weeks, (2 shots on 180mcg and 2 shots on 90mcg), my neutrophils are slightly going up from 0.36 to 0.48 and 0.80. ALT has elevate from pre-treatment of 40-50 to 131.

Can you advise why it's not good to take calcium supplement? I am currently cutting down on dairy food.

what you are saying is wrong there is gcmaf, vitd and oleic acid to attach to vdr and there is nagalase and vit d kept ultralow by viruses, but it is useless to discuss we are already doing it and seeing what hbsag does

no need of hypothesis or talk like this we are doing it directly and checking the results good or bad and they are good for now

why are you so sure vit D activates the VDR? (in the case of people with chronic disease)

Like they say on the MP site, if Vit D would activate the VDR, your antimicrobial peptides ( produced after vdr activated) should be sky high (after taking very high vit D doses). Do you see high values for cathelicidin and other stuff (rezulting from vdr activation) in your lab results?
I don't think you do, because in this case you would have already cured hep B.

If you don't, vit D dose not activate VDR, or the VDRs are blocked (which should be the case with chronic disease)...but then I see no point in taking high d3 dosage, when the real problem is unblocking the vit d receptors. You just create more problems.
