hbsag decline

very good news my hbsag keeps going down, difficult to say if it is the effect of etv plus tdf combo or the imiquimod i used in 2012 or the maitake supplements i am taking now, anyway what matters is hbsag goes down:

20 apr  2012  7309iu/ml
21 jun  2012  5210iu/ml
16 nov  2012  3687iu/ml
10 jan  2013  4207iu/ml
28 feb  2013  3644iu/ml
27 mar 2013  4163iu/ml
22 may2013  3201iu/ml

the maitake i am taking now is from puritans, i take from 6 to 9 caps a day, it has no sides so i take 3 times the suggested dose.whatever is getting hbsag down using maitake has no sides except the cost which is cheap, if others try maitake they may be able to confirm if it has an effect or not

Wish you good luck with your treatment. The way I see it you are making good progress and did cut by more than half the Hbsag quantity in 1 year.I  wish you to continue this down ward trend so that you will be able to add peg interferon next year at this time and eventually clear this virus. Thanks also for the service you provide to all of us. I learned a great deal of things about the virus from you and others and be able to take some measures. I will start treatment very soon but before I do that I will post my question and information for all to comment.

i increase to 10000 iu daily?

yes

Whats the best way to keep the calcium normal?

avoid all diaries and bananas, even diaries inside other foods or preparations, keep ph of urine at about 7 by baking soda with lemon (1 teaspoon per day), drink 2.5l of water per day, take vit k2 like in biotech plus so about 400mgr per 5000iu of d3

what is your vit d3 level?we are trying to check if getting vitd25oh very high correlates with hbsag lowering
target levels are 100-165ng/ml but no calcium diet needed, doctors mnitoring of calcium (serum, ionised, urine) needed

i am trying to got in the 100-120ng/ml range but already getting high end of normal calcium at 90ng/ml even with the diet....

Yes. Clearly. TNF if tolerated, and used for a long period, definitely gives your immune system time to recover and start controlling your infection. Which is whats happening in my case. The Heptech products have helped me tolerate and ope with the TNF all these time. Thanks to Stef who introducted me to the Heptech products. I have definitely been better off with them!!!!

Thanks Stef.
Mustthinkpositive: I take mainly the raw garlic and ginger blended with other fruits into a smoothie.
I used to do a lot of swimming, especially at the time i noticed the decline. Now my job demands dont allow me time to hit the water after work, so i mostly do walks, trying to achieve minimum of 10000 steps on a daily basis, which i track using a pedometer daily, to support the days i am not swimming.
I measure my HBSAG at a lab called Mecure diagnostic labs. But i think they usually send off their samples to their parent lab in India for the analysis.

Thanks joc2011 for the info re: Heptech. You take garlic/ginger in capsule or the real veg? Also, any exercise regime? Also, where do you measure your HBsAg?

Keep us in touch with your upcoming result.

Actually Yes GRMR. in January i had (ALT): 94 and SGOT (AST): 40. This reading was in January, prior to my may results which showed i hbsag dropping.  Although i havnt been monitoring my alt/ast values very regularly but was so sick 3 weeks ago and nw i am sure must have been another flare at the time.

Thanks Stef. I am hbeag neg. So this is good news then.
Prior to this i have been experiencing tiredness every now and then, accompanied with low grade fever sometimes and a general feeling that theres some experience and activity in my liver area. 3 weeks ago i had a high fever, headaches, and extreme fatigue for 5 days, which required me taking a drip for 3 days. Wasnt sure at the time what was going on, but now i know.
I hope this drop continues to 1000-1500iu/ml. will keep monitoring every 2-3 months. Is there anything i can do, within my control to ensure this immune activity continues?
Thanks Stef.
