A must read for anyone with hepatitis C
The Hepatitis C Help Book is a collaboration between two of the best known and most knowledgeable practitioners working in the hepatitis field today - Misha Cohen O.M.D.,LAc. and Robert Gish, MD. This is a well-rounded and comprehensive guide that should be in the personal library of anyone dealing with hepatitis C, and can easily be used by both patients and health care providers. Highly Reocommended.

One of the best books available on Hepatitis C today...
I have read all of the other books on Hepatitis C. This book is wonderful, informative and easy to read. The Hepatitis C Help Book is the first guide that offers comprehensive programs that include both Western and traditional Chinese medicine treatments for hepatitis C. The book is designed to inform people who are infected with the virus, as well as health care practitioners, about how these two medical systems can be used together to achieve the most effective treatment possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Victory Deferred: AIDS Inside the Gay Community
We have waited for a voice within the gay community to relate what AIDS has done and continues to do to our souls. Andiote bares that soul to the scrutiny of a verteran journalist and writer. He descibes the gay community's response to the AIDS epidemic. He outlines the growth the community made in the process. He isn't afraid to criticize where appropriate.

He tells the stories of the heroes of and the commentators on the epidemic. He delves, for example, into the internal machinations of a community trying to deal with safer sex and outlines both successes and failures. He indentifies the ongoing crisis and politics of promoting behavior change in the most intimate aspect of our lives. Through this type of no holds barred reporting that Andriote conveys the impact of AIDS on a community struggling to free itself from past and present disease related definitions.

Andriote's research is thorough, interviewing two hundred activitist and paritcipants. These individuals tell the story of a gay movement catapulted to the forefront of America's consciousness. He starts well before rhe empidemic and couches it in the context of a liberation stuggle. He tells the insider's story.

Victory Deferred will supplant Randy Shilt's And the Band Played On as the dinifitive story of one community heroically responding to the health crisis of the century.

It's not over till it's over
John-Manuel Andriote has accomplished a momumental task in this historical and moving account of the AIDS epidemic. He has done an exhaustive study of the progression of this disease and has intervied people from the trenches to the board rooms.

As a journalist he has kept a focus on reporting the facts, as a gay man he has infused each chapter with the passion that comes from loosing so many friends and loved ones.

He has a keen eye to connect so many different facets and factions and does not hold back in speaking the truth as he has discovered it. AIDS has certainly not only just changed gay life in America, it has changed life in America.

I give this book five stars and know that it will be a work that I will refer to over and over in the years ahead.

A must read
Mr. Andriote's excellent book is a must read for anyone interested in the major events that have shaped the last three decades of the 20th century. It is an excellent and thoughtful overview of the tragic social, political and economic events that shaped the response to the AIDS epidemic. This book should be mandatory reading in colleges, medical schools and schools of public health. ... Read more

Valuable Look at Aids
This book bridges the gap between technical scientific literature and simple public educational materials. It provides a comprehensive macro view of the disease, beginning with the history and origins of AIDS, and ending with a look at the ethical issues the disease raises and the outlook for the future. The author, a senior clinical virologist, explains what AIDS is, how it manifests itself, and how it can and cannot be transmitted. The sections on anti-AIDS drugs and the AIDS vaccine are dated as the book was written in 1994, nonetheless the book provides a valuable look at the disease and its health and social ramifications. ...
