Thanks for looking up that profile. I wonder why he or she stopped posting.
It will take a lot of reading to get up to date on this!
Good luck with your treatment.

HepatitisReseacher used to post until about 2010. I know a few went to his lab in southern california for fibroscan. SFbaygirl was one of them. you can read up on his threads by scanning HepatitisReseacher find his profile and click post and read on. I buy most of my supplements from Lef.org. you can google discounted membership lifeextension and get membership discount coupon to only pay 49.00 per year for discount purchasing throughout the year. This list is old so smartbomb I think is no longer in biz. Also later posts for HR talked about using R-lipoic acid instead of Alpha lipoic acid better and Super ubiquinol CoQ10 an reg CoQ10 HR talks about diet and leaky gut syndrome and important use of probiotics.. Right now while on treatment for trial I'm allowed to take Vit D, salmon oil, flaxseed oil, CoQ10 and R-lopioc acid. Gilead doesn't want me to take the others because of unknown effect on the 7985 drug. All I know is my stages jumped when I did nothing and did not jump and stayed steady for the 5 years after failed treatment.
What are HR liver lovers supplements and where can I learn more about an anti fibrotic regime
Thanks
it was unblinded and at the last minute they changed all the 12 week just 7985 and no Riba to 24weeks unless they get the data on naive trial that 12 weeks was successful without the ribavirin compared to the 24 weeks no Riba before I reach 12 weeks. I got the 12 week with no riba so my clinical nurse said I will probably go 24weeks unless Gilead has results with near full clearence. She doesn't think the results will be in by the time I reach 12 weeks. Once I go over 12 weeks they will not pull me off 24weeks regime. Starting at almost 20 million to UND in 2 weeks is pretty impressive. I think Renee explained this 12week to 24week change in her post better. Anyway 12week 24 week, I don't care, just want SVR. Maybe I can have a glass of wine before I die! The non-alcholic wines are terrible!
I just want to extend my gratitude to all who participate in these trials and studies... thank you for your willingness to pave the way for others!!
Great to hear of your UND!!!

In general, the nucleoside/nucleotide analogs have a high barrier to resistance[35] and are very potent. In the ELECTRON study of sofosbuvir, no differential was observed between genotypes 1a and 1b, and no resistance was seen despite 89% of subjects being the unfavorable genotype 1a population in the study.[20]
Purplecat: I am very happy you got into that study. I was in the 7977/Riba study and it appears to have been successful.
I asked my trial Dr. about resistance factors and he said for these type of drugs (sofosbuvir) resistance is not a concern. I didn't ask for an explanation because he was already out of the door. Now that you brought it up, I will see if I can find some info. on that question.
Was your clinical trial a "blind" one, or did you know exactly what they were giving you? I am in the S.F. area as well~
