update of december 2011 tests, hbsag still going down slowly hopefully my alt flare at 54 in january with hbvdna undetactable is clearing infected cells and lowering hbsag much more for feb 2012 test
fibroscan very normal range decreasing fast from 6.1 to 5.6 in just 9 weeks

nagalase results at 6 months gcmaf therapy, still elevated 2.1, we may see an effect when it reaches 1.0 at least
elevated nagalase like mine at 6.7 baseline usually requires 48-50 weeks
oxidative stress blood tests are well within normal range now
Don't worry too much! HBsAg is very variable so + or - 1000, it's not really changing much.
Plus, vitamin d and heptech should help a lot, no HbsAg result with this combo yet but you are definitely controlling it...
there are no studies on this, just observations by some scientists.of course this is all unfunded so only patients can find out by administration
what we know for a proven fact:
gcmaf is produced by the liver and is a part of albumins, a damaged liver has reduced albumins and reduced gcmaf, some scientists found improvments on those with liver failure (advanced decompensated liver) with gcmaf administration
you know one problem is i stopped alinia between august and september with hbvdna getting detactable below 20iu/ml, this means virus is free to infect new cells in the liver and increase hbsag.
tenofovir was added to replace alinia nov 17 and hbvdna should get und again by 1 month
infact hbsag got 5236iu/ml in nov, not that big increase anyway so we will see if the trend in lowering goes on, i have no plans to stop gcmaf since the possible positive effects and no sides
next hbsag in feb 2012, interferon add-on is planned on 2012, researchers confirmed alredy that gcmaf is not controindicated during interferon.
Wow, fibroscan is definitely improving! Do you know how gcmaf helps in repairing the liver? It's a big improvement!
Vitamine D is also better I believe!
Hope to see HBsAg result budging significantly!!
