Product Description
The Hepatitis C Handbook describes the origins and prevalence of a viral infection that is fast becoming one of the most feared and yet common diseases of our time. Originally published in the U.K., the book includes contributions from internationally renowned specialists and the experiences of patients. This book will help patients and health professionals address hepatitis C from an informed perspective. Twice as big as the original, this second edition contains exhaustive research into all aspects of this widely misunderstood and serious medical condition. Matthew Dolan covers all aspects of the virus: its prevalence and variations; course and symptoms; theories, origins and epidemiology; transmission; and testing issues. He also thoroughly addresses treatment options (conventional medicine; Traditional Chinese medicine; Western herbal medicine; vitamins, minerals and amino acids; homeopathy; naturopathy; and no treatment at all), lifestyle issues (diet, alcohol, drugs, exercise, yoga, Qi Gong; and stress), and includes appendices on the immune system and models of viral persistence. The Hepatitis C Handbook is essential reading for all concerned with, or affected by, hepatitis C.

My favorite book on hepatitis! by Scarlet Singer (105 Club Parkway, Nashville, TN 37221)

5 Stars
May 17, 2009
It answered my questions in a way that I could understand. It even explained symptoms that I was having which my doctor seemed to have no concept of. It gave legitamacy to my symptoms, to my feelings, to my experience. I knew I was not alone. Brain fog! So that's what it's called! I had no idea other people were having this too. His book gave me confidence. I can not say enough about what it did for me emotionally to know I wasn't going crazy. I had real symptoms, perhaps ones not totally understood by science yet. This book taught me what I needed to know about this disease to feel that I understand enough to face it. Knowledge truly is empowering and sometimes our best weapon. The book is a rational look at what Hep C is and it is the most comprehensive I have found. I also like the truly balanced way in which all available therapies (conventional and complimentary) are outlined. No bias, no bashing, no advocating this over that, just presenting all our options. This is what so many books don't do. That is what I loved the most about it. That is what I try to do on my website http://www.healthyhepper.com

I cannot recommend this book any stronger to anyone dealing with Hep C, directly or indirectly. This book changed everything I thought I knew about this horrible disease. It will help me save the life of someone very close to me that battles with this biological terrorist everyday. The only appalling thing about this book is that it is so cheap. The author was so thorough it almost seems like a steal. YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK...

The Hep C handbook gives an extensive medical perspective for anyone dealing with hepatitis C. Though somewhat more technical than other books available on this subject the book is a comprehensive resource including many testimonials from those living with thie disease.
