Simvistatin good to take?
Hello All,
My HBsAg is 12.80 UL/ml and my HBsAB is <10UL/ml. Fibroscan currently showing 8.7kpa. I take high concentrated EPA/DHA fish oil and high concentrated vit D currently. I have seen in other posts that the surface antigen needs or makes cholesterol to multiply itself and I have just had a test for mine and it is 5.8. My doctor says it is too high and has written me a prescription for simvistatin. Now I have tried everything to get it down and nothing works so it looks like I need to take these statins. What are your thoughts? Should I continue to try to watch my diet ( I like too many sweet things) and not begin the statins or begin taking them? If I do take them will they be of benefit for the HBV as I seem to be clearing it?
Thank you to all the great posters here for helping and guiding us with your great knowledge of the virus and ways to help.

On the net it says it can be dangerous to take a high dose and can cause irreparable damage to organs.
this is disinformation there is not a single case of damage to organs even in the few who took millions iu of vit d3 daily, the only thing that happens taking millions.
vitamin d3 has no doses that is all disinformation, you take the doses according to your vit d3 blood levels, if very low you can take both 10.000iu daily or 50.000iu weekly or even 100.000iu weekly.it is easy to see how what reported on the net is drug makers disinformation because vit d is able to prevent so many diseases which turn into drug makers losses, and it is extremely easy to understand their nonsense because only an extremely stupid person take vitamins without checking the blood levels.
so the point is not taking vitd3 or taking a dose, our goal is to make blood levels 50-90ng/ml which is the range which prevents diseases and boosts immune system, to do this you have to check vitd25oh blood levels monthly at first together with blood calcium and then every 3 to 6 months.when you reach the correct level of vit d3 you can lower dose to 5000iu
we have a chronic disease so there is no dose to know results on blood levels, you have to take between 5000 to 10.000iu daily and see how your blood levels correct.if levels are below 20ng/ml you need 10.000iu daily
vit d is very slow to increase, for my family:
hbv carriers need 8000-10.000iu daily indefinitely to keep levels to 70-80ng/ml, at 5000iu daily we go to less than 50ng/ml in blood.but everybody can be different and 5000iu maybe enough for others
healthy family members with just glucose (early diabetes 2) and cholesterol imbalance can keep vit d3 levels above 50ng/ml with just 5000iu.
vit d3 resolved diabetes 2 immediately, bone pains, low hdl cholesterol on a family member:
baseline
vit25oh 10ng/ml
glucose 115-120 (normal 100)
hdl 41 (normal above 50)
after making vitd3 blood levels 70ng/ml
glucose 85 (fully normal)
hdl 54 (fully normal)
hdl has antiviral effect at high levels over 60, those with very high hdl have low hbvdna
hdl prevents all hi bad cholesterol diseases, the higher the better

Thank Stef. One other question, I am on 5000 IU per day puritans vit D3. It says on the tin that this is 1250% of RDA , one capsule. On the net it says it can be dangerous to take a high dose and can cause irreparable damage to organs. I am confused about this now and scared to continue. What are you thoughts? Thanks
b12 has been reported to boost int response on hcv
i checked all studies on it and it increases cd8 and nk killers cells number and activity so it may help the intf response
puritans has improved fish oil too:

the italian type is superior quality absolutely but with 3-4 pills a day you can reach the doses of italian fish oil at cheaper price maybe
and vit b12 only the methylcobalamin type

many thanks, on the Puritan 5000IU Stef and 180 MG blueberry extract as well as Longlife EPA&DHA from Italy. Just found my doctors prescription now for the sim.It is for 1 x 20 mg tablet to be taken at night so I will start from tomorrow. So, all of that, along with TDF, should help and I will talk with my doctor soon about adding intf.
that is good information to know about removing the warning label. I know that the main adverse effect is muscle pain but there are new studies out of UCSD that indicate statins may produce altered sleep cycles as well.
I take 10mg every other day for hepatoprotective measures as well as for added benefit when taken with TDF
