Best Book
Free from Hepatitis C: Your Complete Guide to Healing Hepatitis C
Author Lucinda K Porter, RN
Book Description
For decades, a diagnosis of hepatitis C was the equivalent of serving a life sentence--with a dangerous liver disease. It left patients frightened, confused, and vulnerable, and they took little comfort in knowing that, at best, their condition could be managed but not cured. All of that changed with the discovery that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) could be defeated with new treatments. To shed light on these groundbreaking treatments, Lucinda Porter, a registered nurse, a passionate HCV advocate, and a Hep C patient herself, has written this all-important guide. This comprehensive volume is a must for anyone considering, undergoing, or just wanting to understand HCV treatment.

You can register free and read the articles at your leisure.
It does take a few minutes to sign up, and will involve a careful selection of menu items. This blogger selected "other" or "student" while navigating the registration process. Remember when you sign up to fill in the additional box : next to each "other" selection. I was prepared to make a payment, one reason why I have put off registering for so long, but registration was free with many articles to view at no cost.
