Dont let the title scare you, this is an incredibly awesome book. It deals with symptoms, treatments, gives other links. It is very informative, and written in plain english. I would suggest it for reading to anyone just diagnosed with hepatitis c. It is also great to let family members and friends read it, so they can understand the disease, and the changes you will go through.

Carol Turkington takes the mystery out of what you can expect upon a diagnosis of Hepatitis C. It is written very clearly and in layman's language for the patient. Very up to date. All you need to know, including a listing of organizations to keep you in the know. It could have been called "A Patient's Handbook on Hepatitis C". Hopefully it will be translated for distribution worldwide.

A thorough book with technical medical information presented in a way that is understandable by almost everyone, yet I suspect is still a good book for doctors whose speciality does not include the liver.Explanations of treatments currently available, herbs and what to expect as a Hep C patient.An easy read. I read it in an evening.And a great reference book.

First off the title is scary as hell. Second the book doesnt go deep in to help a person deal with hepatitis C. There's a small section on diet and that's all. Other book devote a whole chapter to the subject. There are better books out there.

Reviewing a book that was written more than 14 years ago does not seem fair, but with I want to acknowledge the author's contribution to the hepatitis C world. This book was one of the early hepatitis C books. It offers some good information, but it is now out of date. Thank you Ms. Turkington for helping patients in those early days when there wasn't much information.
