Maxamine for HCV

<< How do the NK cells get to the tumor? We've discussed this..... OK, they don't.... we now know that they just sit there, passively, in the liver, and let the tumor cells come to them. We finally have an answer!!!! >>

Well, Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. If histamine really stimulates the NK cells ,which are plentiful in the liver (what is a NK cell?) and those generate an immune response -is the chance of Histamine being effective against Hepatitis C much better?

But since Histamine is a very unspecific immune system modulate, would one expect the benefits to be quite moderate? And what about the claims that histamine reduces the side effects of interferone? Is there any basis for that?

As a scientist, I am scared if something appears to work, but I don't know why? Chances are that is won't - at least not consistently.
