Sorry to hear of your friend, it must be so difficult being stuck in that situation. While DAAs themselves are unlikely to reduce fibrosis on their own, there is considerable research and clinical trialling going on of other medications that do target fibrosis reduction in the liver and other areas. Some of the research and trials are quite advanced so hopefully we will get some good news soon.

Gaj,
I sort of quoted that part…
“We demonstrate that the cannabinoid receptor CB1 is crucial for leukocyte infiltration and secondary fibroblast activation and that inactivation of CB1 exerts potent antifibrotic effects in inflammation-driven models of fibrosis.”http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20617520
His doctor said “interferon increases the adhesion of fibroblasts to fibronectin ” as the cause of Peyroni’s.
P.
The “in inflammation-driven models of fibrosis” part of the original text is important to context.

Sure are a plethora of ideas out there heh.

Thanks for sending these posts along …Matt yes these links are useful
I’m in the habit of emailing the ones most relevant to myself and I folder them as a resource for my lobbying
This corner of the forum has a lot of relevant info
I’m fussy about biases and dates and so also check who the author is of any links etc but that’s just me.
Mostly links are relevant and excellent education.
Cheers and yes I agree ty Mile again for the research
ArielPS Hazel your comment is there xxx I read it ty
Hi Ariel,
I love most all of the posts here and throughout the forums. Very educational and helpful
As an example your sharing the fact that you’ve made an email folder for personal use and to share with those who may not be as up to date on what’s going on around them … 
Great idea. I’m stealing it
That’s freedom of the press for you eh GF
. Well said, on getting treatment you need, where you can, at a price that makes some sense
