Consult your doctor now and be checked for hepatitis B infection.  If you are not infected, get hepatitis B vaccination. The vaccine is useless if you are already infected.

So i was searching, and i found it. the article

http://www.medicaldaily.com/hepatitis-b-infection-100-eliminated-cancer-drug-combination-preclinical-model-329938

There is no need to be scared anymore. the cure is already here. i have been on a lot of herbal therapy which really helped me, and still helping dough. i managed to get hold of these two medications birinapant and entecavir and i must say my results are drastically changing and am getting cured. i know a lot of people will ask me how but i did and i was ready to take the risk, this is a self decision nothing to do with pharma company trial, i bought it and am taking it on my own risk, and as i say my blood test are super good.

I was formally on BHT and some other supplements like Chanca padre, Alfa lipoid Acid and others. they are also very good. they kept my liver in good shape till now, i know in another 1 month i should be able to clear HBV

There is actually a drug called tenofovir which they say more potent than entecavir, i think half the price of entecavir. But this drug is new to Philippines, i guess they need more studies with this drug for them to prescribe it or some doctors are still tied up to other drug companies that's why it is still not familiar in our country (you know how politicians works here, i guess same for some of the doctors, but not all of them)

Important thing is to see if HBsAg in iu/ml is decreasing, that means you are responding well for entecavir. There are forums here that says combo (nuc + interferon) has 91% chance of hbsag loss, but this is too expensive for us pinoys.

Some says that antivirals lower hbsag to <1000iu/ml for 6-8 years.

Some information we need:
baseline hbsag<1000iu/ml has 100% response and 91% hbsag loss

The ALT is persistent in elevation level (78 now, normal is 10-50). HBsAG still positive. It is actually higher now than before, but the DNA count is lower than 2000 IU/ml so it means LOWER RISK OF TRANSMISSION. This is important argument when applying for job. :) Well, I still have CHB.

What is your qHBsAg before and now? How about SGPT or ALT?

Thank you for the info. I hope that this will also do good to me. I'm taking ENTEHEP, another brand name of entecavir.

A friend of mine suggested to have injection instead of daily oral intake of entecavir. Do you have any idea on this?

I would like to know also if you are taking some food supplement for the liver. My GI gave LIVIT but sometimes it is out of supply. Now I am taking LIVERAID.

Hi,

I am taking entecavir too (baraclude) since 2011. My viral load tragectory based on historical statistics is on down trend. I started at around 100 million UI/ml. My last result last december was 1,700 and I am hoping it will be gone soon. I might change my medication next month depending on my next result. Goodluck. :)

Okay. Been taking it for a year now and it wipe the DNA polymerase of the virus to undetectable levels. ALT is within normal limits and watch for HbeAg as it seroconverts. Magic! :) Dont loose your patience to HbsAg as it may took a long time before you see the result but w/ proper compliance, you'll get there.
