the first guy isn't resistant to any antiviral. He switched to enticavir for avoding resistance, you can see that he responded to lam very well, but his doctor stupidly suggested him to stop it after DNA und. So for safety, he turned to enticavir.

I'll buy Vit D and take B-50, I would rather to take them directly than do blood tests, that will cost me much and I can feel that I absolutly lack Vit D.

I am not so cautious as you, I don't think resistance to alinia is a problem. So I'll give it a shot. Plus, I have a brother, he has HBV, HBe +, DNA  E-6, alt ast  normal. If I succeed, that will help him. My father had HBV (from his mother), and he recovered automatically at his 50's (we don't know the exact time, cause he never take annul physical test) .

i have been asked where to buy alinia by PM

http://www.merlonipharma.ch/ita_frm_presentazione.htm

this is a real pharmacy to buy online or in the shop, it is in swiss, alinia from romark (not genreics) is about 109euro here
prescription is not required here for alinia since it is a very safe med even for baby 1 yo

before starting alinia it is ery important to have quantification of hbsag in iu/ml, today i spoke with a researcher and he said that baseline quantity is the most important and after tx is started recheck at the 6th month, if there is a decline of at least 1 log and it is continuous the tx is working.
the link is easy, hbsag is produced by cccdna in the liver cells so a decline of hbsag is a decline of cccdna.
cccdna is the template of the virus that aloows persistent infection in the liver, getting rid of cccdna is getting rid of hbv.quantification by s/n is not usefull for this

"before starting alinia it is ery important to have quantification of hbsag in iu/ml".
I knew that but my doctor refused to prescribe that test for me, he thinks DNA is enough. Given our different situations, I think DNA is enough for me until DNA und, after that, I should keep an eye on quatifications of hbsag and hbeag. I am in America now.

Thanks for your link. That website alinia is more expensive and reliable than generic. If I can find a generic alinia in America, that'll be great. Because I am still a student and pay by myself.

The two guys are keeping an eye on the quatification, so don't worry about it.
