To put things into perspective, I started trt with a VL of 24,000.  I would not be happy with these results.  You don't mention what week the pcr was done. I haven't read much about any positive results with these alternative medicines and your results are far from stellar at this point.  What genotype are you and do have any desire to try the more proven trt's?  I hope you consider another approach.

What is your definition of your treatment "working?"  You still have the virus and your AST & ALT #'s aren't within normal range...
