regressison of cirrhosis 48weeks etv+alinia

[stef2011]

a wonderful update after 48weeks of my treatment with baraclude 0.5mg (entecavir) plus alinia (nitazoxanide) 1.5g daily
i also changed diet with antioxidants known to reduce fibrosis in anima studies:bluberries, melatonin,omega3,green tea

cirrhosis regressed (not reversed), fibroscan 9kpa about f2 to f3 borderline, i started with a baseline value of 15.9 november 2009, 16.3 in march 2010, 13.9 in july 2010.
(cutoff values for F0 4.0kpa, F1 about 6.5, F2 about 7.1, F3 9.1 and F4 12.5)
this confirms baraclude as the most fast antiviral in cirrhosis regression while viread is better on less fibrosis stages

to talk about cirrhosis reversal (which takes years of hbvdna und)
in december we will check deeply by ultrasound to see if nodules have been absorbed or are disapearing and if structure of the liver is slowly getting back to normal, it is also important to reach F0 at 4-5kpa, if all this happens we might talk about cirrhosis reversal and not only fibrosis regression, but anyway this is not important because even if the structure of the liver is not like before cirrhosis the liver can adapt and work perfectly if fibrosis is zero

I thought Melatonin induced us to sleep only and I don't know it is an antioxident.

Hi,

Re your "new strategies to get rid of hbv:"

Whether it includes complete eradication of cccDNA?

Please advise where is the link?  Thanks


I found following thread;

this is one on bluberries

you should check liver fibrosis regression or similar on pubmed, i actually based antioxidants i used part on HR posts and part on a research about fibrosis regression on animal studies about blueberries and melatonin

i avoided only the antioxidants posted by HR that have an antiinflammatory effect because they might interfere with antiviral and used those who are known for a immune boosting effect
