HEPATITIS B

Last January 16, 2009 i have heard a news (BAD news) coming from my brother when he called me that my nephew his son has infected the so called HEPA B virus. I was stunned at the moment my brother told me, coz i am helping him the school tuition fees.

My sister in-law cried when the doctor told them there’s no medicine for that virus, i myself felt the same way when i saw my sister in-law’s teary eyed . Boutan ako nephew i have no complain for him. But i keep on asking why is it for all the people live on this planet earth why my nephew got infected while there’s a lot out there na badlungon sa katilingban. Why my nephew why? I’v read a lot of references on website still the majority is NO CURE. He has a lot of dreams, and so are we his family. Yes, there’s a prevention of what we called as vaccination. But when you’re affected there’s no treatment for it as per references i’v read. But can be controlled to a point that it will cause little harm to the body, most especially to the liver. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs204/en/

Almost all viral infection cannot be cured, even the common flu virus.

This is because the virus would hi-jack the cell itself, and use its genetic material for its replication. The consequence is several fold; one, once inside the cell the virus replicates without detection from the immune system. two, you will have to destroy the entire cell itself to halt the progression of the replication which is usually not medically viable.

The body produces immunoglobulins against viruses once detected, however, it is usually too late because the virus has replicated a thousand fold infecting other healthy cells.

Another consideration would be how the virus adapts to the immune system of its susceptible host. It can actually change its genetic material and produce defense mechanism(s) to resist anything that can be mounted against it.

So in short, it has defensive capabilities and replication strategies that would otherwise hamper a medical intervention.

Because of this, we should be very careful of our lifestyle. We can prevent it by helping ourselves.

    @lizelement – hndi cya na vaccinize ahead of it, i haven’t found any article that tells the cure of it.. but still i have hope that someday i can find one. Thank you.

  • Hi friend,have a nice weekend

  • Hi,you’re added to my friend’s list as “Crash”.
    Happy weekend.

  • wala nga cure dun..kaya all health professionals eh nagpapavaccine ng hepa b kasi sila yung mas prone sa infection nun dahil sa injection…

    don’t feel so bad…

  • Sorry to hear about it. Our friend there in Cebu had been diagnosed with the same hepa. His family was so shocked. His doc said that as long as he will stay healthy always (eating the right kind of food with regular exercise )and avoid alcohol, smoking and drugs, he will live a longer life.

    i hope your nephew is in the initial stage of the infection as there is a great possibility of recovery. here in Australia people who are in the initial stage are advised to rest, drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol and drugs.

    Our prayers are the best help we can do.
