nizoral tablets might damage hbsag, in vitro reduction 72%

ketoconazole makes damage to hbsag lipids probably the same way as statins do.if you use these pills or statins you must check liver function monthly because although rare both statins and especially ketoconazole might make liver damage and in that case it is better to stop these pills

i also suggest to use antioxidants like fibroguard, heptech, heptoshield, liposomal glutathione and liposomal vitamin c, these antioxidants will probably block any liver damage.i am using this products continuatively to reverse all cirrhosis

How does it work?
Nizoral tablets contain the active ingredient ketoconazole, which is a type of medicine called an antifungal. It is used to treat infections with fungi and yeasts.
Ketoconazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the fungal cell membrane, causing holes to appear in it.
The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. As ketoconazole causes holes to appear in the cell membranes, essential constituents of the fungal cells can leak out. This kills the fungi and treats the infection.
When taken by mouth ketoconazole may very rarely cause serious side effects on the liver. As a result, Nizoral tablets are reserved for treating fungal infections that can't be treated with other antifungals.

Hi,
I went to VGM and they told me that they have sent it back as they are not able to do scan for patients with higher BMI (in the range of 28 and above) and they will be getting a newer version of the machine in three months time.  (i have already posted the details in one of the threads).  Now i am planning to go to mumbai for the test.  The test cost is 12.5K and the doctor's fee is 2.5K and add flight charges on top of it.

regards
raj

Hi,

Whether Fibroscan is available in VGM hospital, coimbatore or not? What they told you. Could you please share those details - cost etc

[raja1972]

Thanks a lot stefano..I am already having a good diet and i am feeling good..I have posted my results in a separate post.  I am planning to take up Fibroscan (I am from India) in the next two weeks.  It would be costing me aroun 500 USD (including flight charge).  How often we need to go for Fibroscan?  Can we change the frequency if the value is LOW (for example less than 2kpa)

[stef2011]

just check their website, bottles are for 1 month supply...as to regression of fibrosis it varies a lot especially if hbvdna is undetactable or detactable

without a fibroscan it is not possible to monitor fibrosis and improvment, so those countries without fibroscans have no tolls to detect and monitor liver damage properly

Stef ..
Is one bottle of heptech and fibroguard enough or i have to use more than one?

[stef2011]

they are very expensive, i suggest to se them only if you can afford them without anytrouble otherwise use only if you have liver damage or cirrhosis

as to all the others it is possible to get similar benefits by the diet since most of the ingredients are spieces and food, of course i dont think severe fibrosis or cirrhosis can be regressed by diet only, probably a balance of the quantities from those nutrients is needed (more concentrated than what can e found in the food)....but all those without liver damage can probably keep liver healthy by diet only

this is an antioxidant therapy to balance the oxidative stress due to immune system failing to clear hbv and just damaging the liver, oxidative stress tests are not commercially available but two labs can do it even for single patients.if you want to check it or monitor if antioxidant therapy is working you can send blood samples to these research labs:
