alcohol ,hep b, and normal liver enzymes
I was diagnosed with Hep B in September 2010. My doctor said to take milk thistle and flax seed capsules and would recheck by blood work in 6 months. My liver enzymes were back to normal the last time we checked (early October). Does this mean the viris is going away? What will happen if I decided to drink alcoholic beverages?
alchool is well known as toxic, is well known to lower immune system , well know to make alt levated as hepatitis, it is just a matter of money/industry damage to cover this to the general population.2 glasses of wine during meal is the only thing about achool to be healthy for people without hbv
in the case of hbv is well known to lower immune response and make virus more aggressive and to increase liver damage very much,

Thank you.
Does alcohol inhibit the body from clearing the viris? Is that why it should be avoided?

avoid alchool as long as hbsag is detactable, if it stays detactable more than 6 months you are cronic, all other tests have no meaning in terms of virus cleared or not
liver damage is made by immune system, if you have no response you are full of virus but no damage (the virus doesn t damage liver), if you have immune response and clear virus you will recover liver damage, if you have immune response and do not clear virus you will accumulate liver damage slowly and after decades you might get liver cancer or cirrhois

Okay, yet so far I am considered an acute carrier. I know I was infected early July 2010. If I drink does that mean I am more suseptible to becoming a chronic carrier? My liver enzymes were over 1000 at the start of symptoms, then came down to around 400 and are now at 35.
No immune response, no damage...
Can you please explain?
Hope I am not irritating....just trying to understand.

He means do NOT drink any alcoholic beverages!
And just because your enzymes are stable, it doesn't mean that the virus is going away. Many chronic carriers go through the first few decades of their lives with normal liver enzymes because their immune system doesn't recognize the virus as an intruder. No immune response, no damage.
