Thanks Magnum
I heard it's good to take buffered C. Also, someone told me that the ALA has to be from a pure European source. I found out that Bluebonnet brand is from Germany. Most others are from China. I am thinking about going on low dose naltrexone to lower my viral load in addition to a good supplement regimen.
FWIW, it's my understanding that ALA is the precurser of glutathione and it is cheaper than glutathione.
Someone please post a clinical study that says taking ML during tx increases SVR. Taking unregulated herbs while on tx...because you "think" it will help, maybe not so smart.
I wanted those meds in my liver around my liver as long as possible. Taking an herb that artificially increases the livers ability to clean, sounds risky.
So on this thread we have two of the countries leading hepatologists Deb's Dr. J, and my doc Everson telling people don't take it during tx. And armchair docs on a forum saying go for it.
they have done clinical trials with silymarin - it does have antiviral properties - the injectable form is far more effective than the pills - there is no proof that it benefits or hinders inf/riba tx
I said SVR.
hmmm take the advise of a leading hepatologist or some anonymous person off the internet, let me think. After much consideration I'll stick with Everson's advice, thanks though.
