From the Publisher
Although it can cause debilitating illness, severe damage to the liver and even complete liver failure, the hepatitis C virus was not even isolated until just a few years ago. Warnings about this deadly disease have still not been adequately communicated to the public. Hepatitis C: A Personal Guide to Good Health relates the vital facts about this debilitating disease. It explains how it is contracted, identifies the symptoms, and shows how to test for it and offers details on available treatments. This book also tells how to manage the disease through lifestyle changes and alternative health practices. It helps you cope with the psychological problems of a chronic disease and offers sensible advice on how you can overcome the complications created by hepatitis C.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT HEPATITIS C; A PERSONAL GUIDE TO GOOD HEALTH:
"Aninvaluable resource for patients with hepatitis C, their care-givers and health care workers."
-Tarek Hassanein, M.D., Chief of Clinical Hepatology, UC San Diego Medical Center
"An excellent reference that should be mandatory reading for all patients with hepatitis C. It is concise and thorough at the same time. I strongly recommend that this book be read by my patients and their families."
-Kenneth D. Rothstein, M.D., Center for Liver Disease, Temple University School of Medicine
"Contains a great deal of information important to patients afflicted with chronic hepatitis C. It is well organized, and written in a language that is easy to understand."
-Steven L. Flamm, M.D., Northwestern Memorial Hospital
"Accurate, unbiased, easy-to-read, and up-to-date, this book translates medical jargon into easy-to-understand terms. It is filled with practical advice."
-Jorge L. Herrera, M.D.,Director of Hepatology, University of South Alabama College of Medicine

WARNINGS FROM PAST AND PRESENT SURGEON GENERALS ABOUT HEPATITIS C
"We know that many Americans infected with hepatitis C are unaware they have thedisease. Unfortunately, many of them cannot be readily identified because the disease does not cause symptoms until it is far advanced."
-Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher
"Many of those at high risk are average people– middle aged housewives who had a cesarean, young adults who had transfusions as high-risk babies or middle-aged men who served in Vietnam, these people have no reason to believe that they are infected."
-Former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop END
