I'm glad that this forum is a place where you could find support. I wish you the best. Keep us posted on your DNA test. As for the Korean ginseng, please don't put all your hopes in that becasue you will likely be disappointed. If there is such a simple cure, there won't be 500 million people with HepB. Keep the expectations real so you don't be disappointed. Take care.
steven NYer thanks for your reply you have a kind and good heart. HOnestly, you lighten my feelings. Nothing knows my situation except this forum.. Mostly people here in our place are judgemental and i dont want that my family get worried also. I am the breadwinner and its my dream to work abroad sad i failed in medical exam because one of the requirements is the bloodtest. I am happy to find this forum because i felt that i am not alone with this situation. I pray miracle happen with me.. I will have a DNA test by next week. I read also philippine forum that there are hepa b reactive that turn to non reactive because of taking korean ginseng.. I give also a try with this.
JAkied thanks also with your reply...
Jie_26 : You labs are pretty common for chronic hepatitis B carriers. You do have HepB but are likely a "inactive carrier", which is great and you probably son't need treatment. You need to check your HepB DNA count and ALT /AST levels to be sure. You should try to see a doctor for monitoring. But your labs looks good so far, so don't worry too much. Take care.
To my other forum members: While I know that the intention is good in trying to help the next person, please try no to refer those with HepB to other sites so quickly. Those newly dignosed with HepB are under stress and are fortunate to have found this forum. It is these types of misunderstanding that HepB individuals felt being sent away in the past.
I read Dr. McGovern's questions and answers site. She get many many inquiries and only able to answer a few of them given that she is quite busy and only answers questions in her free time. Not surprisingly, it takes her a long time (compared to this MedHelp) to answer questions. And people ask the same questions over and over, questions that fellow MedHelp forum members here could probably answer. So I think it's best to refer her those with really unique questions. This way we could protect those excellent resources that we do have.
