Hepatitis C is a serious viral illness that affects the liver. Most often spread by blood-to-blood contact, the majority of people infected with hepatitis C do not know they are infected until liver damage has occurred. Because the hepatitis C virus changes its form frequently, presently there is no vaccine for HCV; but once diagnosed, effective treatment is available for many. Written for people diagnosed with hepatitis C and under the care of a physician, this informative book is designed to answer questions about the condition and allow the reader to play an active role in its treatment.

This review is from: Conquering Hepatitis C (Paperback)

AS A PATIENT WITH HEPATITIS C FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS THIS IS A COMPLETE GUIDE ON HOW TO LIVE WITH THIS DISEASE.IT IS VERY CLEAR AND GOES INTO ASPECTS SUCH AS HERBAL REMEDIES WHICH REALLY DO NOT WORK, HOW TO CARE FOR YOURSELF. IT HAS CHARTS SHOWING THE PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE AND ALSO THE MEDICATIONS BEING USED NOW TO TRY AND CONTROL THE ADVANCE OF THE DISEASE. AFTER READING THIS BOOK I FELT SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE IN LESS THAN 100 PAGES I UNDERSTOOD MY DISEASE AND MY PROBLEM. IT ALSO LISTS SIDE EFFECTS OF THE USE OF INTEFERON WHICH IS GOOD TO KNOW AND DISCUSSES THE USE OF ALCOHOL WHICH HAS TO BE AVOIDED. EVERY PATIENT THAT HAS HEPATITIS C SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.
