I think there is a role to look for drugs that affect oxidative stress although I am not so sure that silibinin does not have a direct antiviral effect itself. 我認為，可以找到影響氧化損傷的藥物，雖然我不是很確定水飛薊賓本身是不是有直接抗病毒效果。
I was lucky in that by doing research on antioxidants to find that a very old plant remedy called silibinin has a very powerful non-interferon mediated action against the virus. 我非常幸運地在研究抗氧化研究，發現了非常古老的植物治療藥物叫水飛薊賓，它有非常有效的非干擾素介導的抗病毒作用。
