YuK, you can add everything but the immune-stimulating herbs. Antioxidant nutrients decrease side effects of Interferon and in some cases increase response - for example, Look et al. found that selenium, NAC (1,800mg) and Vitamin E (about 600 iu) increased response significantly. It is the combination of antioxidants that gives results. And it is what happens after TX that matters - the immune response has to take up the slack. Vitamin E, with selenium, also helps elevate Co-enzyme Q10, and Co-enzyme Q10 definitely improves immunity. Folic acid and B12 should raise your WBC and platelets again. Look at the Life Extension Hep C site for more info. Don't take the silymarin and OPCs with ribavirin (if you're on it?). Take ribavirin with fatty foods, not with tea or coffee.
