Editorial Reviews for Living with Hepatitis C: A Survivor's Guide, Third Revised Edition
|
Includes a new chapter on long-acting pegylated interferons—the cutting-edge discovery that is sure to be the next generation of treatment. Since its original publication in 1998, Living with Hepatitis C: A Survivor's Guide has become the resource for hundreds of thousands of American afflicted with the deadly virus—and for their husbands, wives, families and friends. Unlike other books on the topic, Living with Hepatitis C is written by a nationally recognized hepatitis C expert and his patient. So readers everywhere receive the advice and expertise on one of the country's top hepatologists while gaining invaluable insight and guidance from a patient who has been through it all. This newly revised edition reviews the results of the latest clinical trials of long-acting, pegylated interferons in a new chapter. It updates all of the organizations, resources, and information that has changed since the last edition. It offers special chapters on research trends, liver transplants (including living-donor transplants), children, co-infection with HIV/AIDS or hepatitis B, as well as chapters devoted to the nutritional, emotional, and financial challenges that accompany infection with hepatitis C.

Summary: Starting to live again
Comment: I was recently diagnosed as having hepatitis c. The immediate effect was shock and disbelief. I was under the mistaken impression that the way a person contracted hep c was by IV drug abuse or a tainted blood transfusion. This threw me for a loop since the only blood I had ever recieved was in 1950 and 1959 and I had never abused any drugs, I had no idea this virus existed back when I had recieved blood. I was afraid to tell my family what I had and therefore had no support. After reading this book not only did I have more information with which to approach my family but an idea of what to expect in my life from here on out. It is seldom one finds an information type book that is written in a way that makes it an easy read but this one falls in that category. Even those in the mid adolescent years would have no problem reading and understanding the information. I have already purchased a copy of this book to give my daughter when I tell her that I have this disease.

Summary: This Book Is My Hepatitis C Bible
Comment: This is one of the most comprehensive Hepatitis C books available. Being written by a patient and Heptologist, it seems easy to understand. I'm on the Transplant List with encephalapathy and have a hard time remembering what I'm told at the Drs., or where I put the paper I wrote it down on. I find the information available in this book is like taking the Dr. home with me. I relate to alot of the patient stories and am encouraged by those who are now post transplant. I spend my time helping others with Hepatitis C on the Internet and will definitely be reccomending this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Beyond Just Surviving
Comment: This comprehensive book is a blessing! It decodes medical terminology and the latest treatments and research into plain English. The quotes from actual patients on different therapies and in different stages of the disease really make you feel like you're not alone. With explanations of the most current research on both traditional and alternative treatments, this book clearly stands out from the others on this topic.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Misleading Western Medicine Biased View
Comment: This book has overlooked the role of alternative therapies such as acupuncture and herbology in the treatment of Hepatitis C. Additionally, they do not even mention the wonder herb, milk thistle. They only put negative connotations to anything that isn't good-old-US approved. The chapters on emotional and nutritional care are far from complete as they lack depth and advocate only a small fraction of what is available to those who suffer. Don't waste your money on this one!
