Most healthy adults (90%) who are infected will
recover and develop protective antibodies against future hepatitis B infections. A small number
(5-10%) will be unable to get rid of the virus and will develop chronic
infections. Unfortunately, this is not true for infants and young children – 90% of infants and up to 50% of young
children infected with hepatitis B will develop chronic infections.
Therefore, vaccination is essential to protect infants and children.
Hepatitis B In the United States
Hepatitis
B is 100 times more infectious than the AIDS virus, yet it can be prevented with a safe and effective vaccine. For the 400
million people worldwide who are already chronically infected with hepatitis B,
the vaccine is of no use. The future, however, is much brighter with the
current advances in drug development and treatment options.

(1 out of 3 people).

Hepatitis B In Bangladesh
Not very well studied. Several studies found huge number of patients and
carriers. It is estimated that 7-9 per cent of our population may be suffering
from the disease or carrying the virus. This is a great cause of concern.
I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
