Review: Helpful book - Very informative book. Tons of useful information.
Review: Must read for Hepatitis C patients!! - This book was recommended to me by my hepatologist three years ago. I read all of it. It prepared me for treatment and helped me plan the year of treatment. This book was written by a layman patient of Dr. Regenstein who used to run the Abdominal Transplant Clinic at Tulane University Hospital. The author explains in simple English the various forms of hepatitis that can cause cirrhosis, liver cancer and eventual death. Today with the new triple therapies, most patients can recover and experience a cure. This book teaches one how to tell the family and friends about one's illness and how to plan for treatment. It gives advice on support group options, the types of vitamin and mineral supplements to take and everyday living tips during treatment. It also helps one plan for the financial stress caused by long term treatment for this disease and suggests prescription medicine assistance programs to pay for costs that insurance may not cover. This is an excellent book for those planning to undergo treatment for this disease. I highly recommend it. It helped me tremendously!

*by C***R on March 23, 2015*

very informative , he had a lot of suggestions, none of my Dr.'s so far has recommended, but more needed to be said WHAT types of foods you can have not just what you cant, I know thatts important too, but people who buy this book probably have cirrhosis or loved one has it , I have Diabetes and what you eat is alot different and more strict than diabetes I am finding out. I was diagnosed over a year ago and it still helped me and I would recommend it , and I have in my Liver support group. Someone just finding out , very good book, 4 stars is more is needed about food choices.
