DisclaimerThe Hepatitis C Caring Ambassadors Program has published Choices to help people with hepatitis C make informed decisions about their treatment. We have included information about the most common treatment options used by people with hepatitis C. However, many treatments included in the book have not been studied in clinical trials. Thus, their effectiveness for the treatment of hepatitis C is unproven. Every person with hepatitis C should be aware that interferon-based therapy is the only treatment that has been scientifically proven effective against the hepatitis C virus. Be aware that individual chapters in Choices are written by different authors with differing training, background, and opinions. While each chapter cites supporting evidence if it is available, ultimately, each author is expressing his/her own opinions about the treatment approach discussed. The opinions of one author may not be supported or endorsed by the other authors. In some cases, authors strongly disagree. Some approaches are controversial and are, as yet, unproven. Nonetheless, you are presented with these differing opinions to provide you with information about the broad range of therapies currently in use by people living with hepatitis C -hence, the title of the book, Hepatitis C Choices. Ultimately, the decision about what therapies you choose is up to you. Regardless of the therapies you choose, we encourage everyone with hepatitis C to have at least one medical doctor (MD or DO) on your health care team. All people with chronic hepatitis C should be carefully monitored by a medical doctor on an ongoing basis for warning signs of disease progression.
