depends person to person ad even vdr is not the key of gcmaf, the probiotic type works on all vdr types while the injectable does not work on one vdr type
anyway i dont think gcmaf can clear hbv, it has worked in cases of hbv acquired as adults with aids/immune suppression, gcmaf corrected immune suppression and hbv got cleared, in our cases of hbv infection from birth i dont think it works
vitd25oh levels work as antiviral when reaching 80-90ng/ml on some members here
Thanks for sharing your experience and informing the other members!
Regarding the downregulated VDR, why would they put it on gcmaf's site, if this is disinformation? Did you talk to the persons selling you the gcmaf about this, asking them why do they put disinformation on their site?...it does not make much sense to me that those very smart people at gcmaf would put disinformation on their site, although it could happen.
Not to mention that M Marshall (the scientist who came up with the VDR theory) did this for years with public conferences and everything (check on youtube), this is not a single isolated study made in a bogus lab.
I am not saying you are wrong, my problem is the same as yours (chronic hep b) and I am trying to find a way out of this. You seem to be much more experienced/informed then me, but it does not make sense this whole VDR receptor theory is misinformation. Did you, at least, checked your 1,25-d level also?
I know vit D increases immune function and everything, but the right approach is:
1) to supplement it
2) to detox the VDR receptor (downregulated by certains pathogens, according to dr Marshall) so the D level increases by itself to normal?
I guess it depends from person to person. Some will have VDR blocked, some will just need more sun.
Also, there is something called Vit D co-factors, for example: http://www.freegrab.net/cofactors1.htm, but many other info about it all over the net.
Since you recommended 10,000iu of vitamin D3.. my chest pains have gone. I don't need to take aspirin anymore. And my energy levels are up.
You don't know if anybody in the US sells/makes gcmaf?
The key is the immune system no doubt to overcome HBV..
still taking d3 10.000iu to keep optimum ranges, vit d has no immuen suppression at all, it is all disinformation, vit d increases immune function ,trl7 receptors and has antiviral effect on hbv and hcv well known and studied
i am using probiotic gcmaf and not the injectable, while on imiquimod i tried to stop gcmaf 1 week and i felt all imiquimod sides due to interferon production so started back again.without gcmaf i could not eat, severe pains all over body and more fever
on cancer gcmaf has made chemio sides to zero on many patient, i have experinced a similar effect with imiquimod interferon sides
You are still doing it, any updates?
Also, on gcMAF's site at the "Latest Links" there is the VDR receptor theory saying high dose Vit D could do you more harm then good in the long run (suppresses the immune system), be careful with that. Should test both D 25 and 1,25-D according to that site.
good luck hope this is the answer to our prayers.
