6 Month Post Harvoni Relapse
« on: September 11, 2015, 04:10:58 pm »
Hi,

FWIW, my VL is lower now than it was last time and is now 459,372

AST 116
ALT 169

I stopped taking Vit E, which they say can cause replication.

Hi Lukey

Nice to see you.

From what I understand viral load can fluctuate quite a bit but still with such a low viral load maybe the harvoni did some damage to the viruses ability to replicate.

Are you looking into any further treatment?

Hi,

Went to gastro last week. They say they will call if a new Tx comes out but I'm in no hurry to re treat. I also use oregano oil and BHT which are both known to fight virii.

I'm not feeling very optimistic about allopathic treatments any more. They goofed up my Harvoni Tx after I showed UND at week 7. I feel like I'm dealing with a bunch of amateurs.
