A Light in a Sea of Despair

I undertook a two-year very brutal drug treatment for HCV, and was recently miraculously cleared of the disease. There were times I felt like giving up, but relied again and again on the encouraging information I gleaned from this book. It is informative, well-written, and emotionally supportive. My Doctor wanted a copy too, since sadly, there is little information availible in the medical community. I highly recommend this book for anyone considering a treatment approach, or wanting a supportive source of compassionate and concise information.

Finally ,the book I have been looking for !

Excellent book full of vital information. I'm so happy someone is getting the word out about treatment with Acupuncture and Chinese herbs! Dolan doesn't capitalize on the lack of treatment for Hep C by writing herbal treatments you can try at home. He emphasizes the need for a well trained herbalist. This is very important. Every one who has Hepatitis C should read this book. Then they should insist that their doctor reads it! It has a wealth of information for both the patient who has Hep C and the practitioner's who treat it. I can say this because I have the virus and I'm also a Chinese herbal practitioner.

A Must Read Book

Matthew Dolan has created the best companion a person with HCV can have. GIven the severity of HCV it is astonishing that there are so few decent books on the disease. In fact, there are only two: Stephen Buhner's Herbs for Hepatitis C and Matthew Dolan's. The Hepatitis C Handbook is simply the best and most supportive overview of hepatitis C on the market. The depth of research is remarkable, the insights of its author remarkable as well. BUY THIS BOOK!

Thank you Matthew Dolan

In 1997, my Hep-C virus stirred (after 30 years of dormancy!)and began to seriously impact my life. A friend in London sent me Matthew Dolan's book. At the time I was seeing several medical specialists, most of whom gave advice that conflicted with the advice of all the others. I read Mr. Dolan's book and found a little peace. Here at last was a clear, sensible assessment of the disease, the medical profession's ignorance of it, and a thorough, sane, easily understood series of chapters on available options for living with Hep-C. Mr. Dolan gave no advice, pushed no preferences, he simply stated what was out there. He literally saved my life, not by holding out hope of a miracle cure, but by giving me the comfort of knowing that I was not alone. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone with Hep-C, or anyone who lives with a Hepper. Thank you, Matthew Dolan!

The best and most up to date material on Hep C

Mr. Dolan has written the most comprehensive book to date on Hep. C. He covers what is going on in the Medical community and the alternative medicine community. He has Hep C himself so comes at the issue with more understanding then the average author. It has helped me to better understand this disease and I highly reccomend it.
