Simvistatin good to take?

[aberdeen577]

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.

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

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

this website has all vit d research, studies, trials, you can see the studies yourself and avoid all lies reported about it

never trust what you see on the net if there is no study to back up what they say and always look for a second or third study to confirm (drug makers fund false studies for their benefit but usually 1-2 studies maximum).never trust a drug maker study always check for an indipendent university to confirm it

also remember vit d blocks fibrosis cirrhosis development, we posted a study where they created cirrhosis on livers in animals in labs, those taking vit d did not develop cirrhosis all the other with deficent d3 did

[stef2011]

all false vit d3 studies have one thing in common which makes the studies useless, they talk about dose taken but never ever check baseline and therapy vit d3 blood levels, so any conclusion from such studies is totally useless because the first goal is reach optimum blood levels but the dose to do this is very very different from person to person....i myself never reached more than 45ng/ml by 5000iu daily in about 2 years of supplementation, for me only 10.000iu worked, if you are fat the dose needed is much higher so if i was fat (i m superthin) probably 20.000iu was needed and not 10.000iu

there are so many things interacting with absorption that only checking blood levels you know what you are doing....by the way remember that absorption is better if pills are taken with meals

Thank you so much for all of the comments and I appreciate the time you have taken to put this together. I will continue and have vit d levels chacked in one months time. I lost below a few of my blood results from the check at the beginning of November Stef for you to have a look at..
calcium...2.44 mmol/L
corrected calcium...2.39 mmol/L
25 Hydroxy Vit D...68.3 nmol/L
magnesium...0.87 mmol/L
phosphate ..0.83 mmol/L
globulin...32 g/L
total bilirubin...18.0 umol/L
ALT... 23 IU/L
AST...27 IU/L
GGT...19 IU/L
ALP ...44 IU/Lsodium...139 mmol/L
potassium...4.2 mmol/L
urea ...6.0 mmol/L
creatine ...86 umol/L
estimated GFR...>90 mL/min
uric acid ...0.37mmol/L
red blood cells 4.54 (below average)
haematocrit 0.388 (below average)
white blood cells 3.2 (well below average) (norm is 4.0 to 11.0)

Is there anything here Stef that I should worry about?
