Effect of artemisinin/artesunate as inhibitors of hepatitis B

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16122816

i found artesunate is used by many patients for other viruses since it has braod antiviral specturm, i will check with them safe doses (should be same as for malaria treatment) and experienced sides.
alt/ast must be stricly tested weekly or monthly to detect any liver damage for those with normal alt/ast and this compound must be avoided in case of severe liver damage/fibrosis/cirrhosis

Steff I have some medical knowledge, yes u r right I should keep PCM aside but my friend only on my own thoughts I planned right from beginning to take the pain and not to subside the fever by PCM rather on its own becoz it's the inflammatory response we need and that's what is lacking. Hence let the inflammation proceed and do its work. Till date I took just one PCM tab during therapy.
Yesterday I took ondenseteron, an antiemetic to control that vomit, it stopped it for about an hour but eventually it happened and none cud stop it ha ha ha.
My appetite is shunted taste has turned bitter though no fever today. I've lost weight too.
One pathologist told me not to do IFN as I will never seroconvert as may be I have childhood acquired infection. But I think it is due to that careless dentist in 2007. Any ways I am doing this coz I want to give myself every chance and don't want to regret later. Rest everything on god.
Steff surely I'll keep on updating my whole experience throughout the time. Let's hope I can bear the remaining doses of dreadly pegifn 2b.

Here at this place I have learnt to live with positivity and got so many friends to share the common sorrow, the small monster, and to keep on fighting. Steff words give big strength and  directions that can b relied worth fully. Though everyone has their own decisions.

I wonder y no one is asking the names of those herb from john.. If possible tell the name of that herb or caps. I too am taking herbs but don't think they do much. I ve Ayurveda professors too after all m from land of ayurved. I took them for more than a year and then started definitive therapy of IFN and TNF. I am still taking them but don't know about their effect as Steff says they may promote or even hinder. I ve left everything on almighty.
M on every possible thing I know and I could access. Steff said to me to take gcmaf but unfortunately money factor and secondly my country India where they don't market it, made it inaccessible.
