The First Book In My Arsenal Against The Hep C Virus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As the Multicultural Outreach Coordinator for the Hepatitis C Association, I am truly excited about this book and all it has to offer to the African-American community. The information is easy to read, easy to understand, and relates well to its target audience. Viral hepatitis - related cirrhosis is the leading cause for liver transplantation as well as the leading cause of liver cancer. There is no way we can transplant the anticipated number of people who will develop cirrhosis, unless we diagnose folks earlier and treat them before the liver is irreversibly damaged or develop liver cancer. As African-Americans, we are most at risk from this disease, and not just from a medical angle, but socio-economically speaking, we will be adversely affected in every area of our lives. This book is the wake-up call for African-Americans to take control of their health and lifestyle choices by getting tested early (NOW), and to become advocates for more research in this area.

In addition to the medical information, explanations, and the personal tribulations included I was delighted to discover that the readability was intellectual yet down-to-earth and in terms I could easily understand. A must have for every black home.
