Product Description
Product Description
Hepatitis C has been called "the emergent and preeminent public-health problem of the twenty-first century--surpassing HIV." It has also been dubbed "The Shadow Epidemic," because it is one of the most clandestine of viruses and infects healthy people who have no idea they are being attacked by something they can't even detect. Now, two experts on Hepatitis C have teamed up to write a complete guide to orthodox and alternative treatment options. The book includes programs for self-care, nutritional and fitness plans and a comprehensive Western and Chinese medical treatment program.

One of the best books available on Hepatitis C today...
18 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
I have read all of the other books on Hepatitis C. This book is wonderful, informative and easy to read. The Hepatitis C Help Book is the first guide that offers comprehensive programs that include both Western and traditional Chinese medicine treatments for hepatitis C. The book is designed to inform people who are infected with the virus, as well as health care practitioners, about how these two medical systems can be used together to achieve the most effective treatment possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A must read for anyone with hepatitis C
26 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Hepatitis C Help Book is a collaboration between two of the best known and most knowledgeable practitioners working in the hepatitis field today - Misha Cohen O.M.D.,LAc. and Robert Gish, MD. This is a well-rounded and comprehensive guide that should be in the personal library of anyone dealing with hepatitis C, and can easily be used by both patients and health care providers. Highly Reocommended.

Excellent coverage of an important topic
31 Aug 2004
Format:Hardcover
This book provides lots of practical and informative content concerning Hepatitis C. The book covers the subject from both the traditional and alternative medical points of view.
Included are discussions of treatment options, lifestyle recommendations, and a good overview of the disease.
The book is readable and well researched.
If you or someone you know has this insidious and widespread disease this book should be at the top of your list of readings.
Because Hepatitis C progresses with hardly any symptoms..it is important to take steps as soon as possible to deal with it. If you have been positively diagnosed...DO NOT WAIT. There are many things you can do from implementing simple lifestyle changes to undergoing severe chemotherapy that can influence the course of this illness. At the very least you can read this book!
