Dear Lloyd:

I just received my lab test back after 6 months.

Seems the AST is up to 47 from 40 but the viral load has dropped to 3,000,000 down from 7,000,000.

I am puzzled what could be causing the AST to go up. For the last two years it has remained normal. I take thymus caps, Moducare, dandelion, lipoic acid, milk thistle, reishi, selenium, zinc, vitamin C and Energy Flash. But, most recently, I have started taking a pill call Hep-3 made be AFI. It contains Picroliv (Picrorrhiza Kurroa), Phyllanthus amarus Extract, Andrographis paniculate Extract. It also contains Dicalcium phosphate, celluose and magnesium sterate. Do you think there is a connection?

Also, have taken some tylenol recently and some aspirin and had real invasive dental work back in January which required alot of numbing.

Anyway....what do you think?

Thank you again for all of your wonderful information and website. I have been following your advice now for three years and I am sure that is why I remain healthy. Even thought the AST was slightly up the doctor said she actually believes there is improvement due to the lower viral load count. And, this I atribute to the vitamin C. (I also take the liquid you sell.)
