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

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.
