Surviving Hepatitis C in AZ Jails, State Prisons, and Federal Detention Centers.

Surviving Hepatitis C in AZ Jails, State Prisons, and Federal Detention Centers.
The "Hard Time" blogspot is a volunteer-run site for the political organization of people with Hepatitis C behind and beyond prison walls, their loved ones, and whomever cares to join us. We are neither legal nor medical professionals. Some of us may organize for support, but this site is primarily dedicated to education and activism; we are fighting for prevention, detection, treatment, and a cure for Hepatitis C, particularly down in the trenches where most people are dying - in prison or on the street... Join us.

Research and Treatment News: Hepatitis-Central 7/28/10

We get a ton of information every day on surviving Hep C that we just don't get around to posting - it takes a great deal of time to wade through. One of our list-serve sources is "Research and Treatment News" from Hepatitis Central. This recent issue is particularly useful, so I'm posting it in it's entirety. Follow the invitation link and subscribe yourselves - I promise that it won't overwhelm your in-box as it only comes about twice a month. If you or a loved one is living with Hep C, it's a great practical resource, as is the website that sends it. Their focus is on holistic healing methods, which are a good supplement to traditional interferon treatment, and may help those for whom such treatment is not available or is undesirable.
