Description
Practical, Medical and Spiritual Guidelines for Daily Living with HCV. For those facing the daily challenge of living with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), this handy book offers a healthy dose of hope and practical advice. A day-to-day guide to managing the disease, Hepatitis C combines up-to-date medical information with a spiritual program, rooted in the Twelve Steps, for coping with the issues associated with HCV infection. In clear, non-technical language, Mark Jenkins discusses the causes, symptoms, and progress of HCV, as well as the latest medical guidelines for containing the disease. He describes complementary treatments and provides information on liver transplantation. With attention to the mind-body connection, Jenkins focuses on strategies for maintaining physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. His authoritative, practical, and compassionate guide points the way to a life with HCV that is not just livable but also deeply rewarding.
