Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hepatitis C by Roybal
The hepatitis strains are elusive for diagnosticians and even
more so for patients. The author defines Hep C as the non-A
and non-B strain. The Hep A strain is contracted from
contaminated water. Hep B is contracted from blood and body

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Explains the disease in a way even I could understand!
This book is very helpful to anyone who has, or wants to learn more about, Hepatitis C. The author is able to explain the complex disease in simpler, understandable terms. I would highly reccommend this book!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Extremely Readable Book Full of Important Information
This book was obviously written after much research into the Hepatitis C virus and made to be very readable for the average person.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Good for the Newly Diagnosed Hepatitis C Patient.
This book is good reading for the person who knows nothing about the Hepatitis C Virus. For the patient who knows even the slightest about HCV, this book will not be of much help. I personally feel that this book was thrown together in a week or two without much thought put into it. Some of the website URLS are not correct.
