The Professor couldn't give any specific info because of confidentiality agreement with drug company. They are very enthusisatic as the Prof said INF Lamda is proven effective & safe scientifally. Communication by email.

It is reasonable that this product will be used in the next 2-3 years

A trial is being conducted in Yale University. According to the Professor, they are enthusiastic about IFN Lamda.

I think future therapy would be Tenofovir + Mycrulex B + IFN Lamda

in hcv community those who tried have had no sides or mild sides

you have to consider that those under peginterferon think they are about to dye when they have sides.the point of peginterferon is not sides itself but the severity of the sides.

when my mother tried it it was the same thing you think one is about to dye becuase it is like you have the most severe flu of your life with incredible pains and cold and all your body shakes incredibly.nowadays peginterferon would never be approved it was prroved because there were no therapies at that time, the sides are similar to a very heavy  chemiotherapy for cancer.only young people experience no sides or mild sides, that's the reason i never wanted to do interferon in my life

on lamda you don t feel like you are about to dye when you have sides
