In the weeks leading up to my Harvoni treatment, I had many questions. Would I have any energy? Would I be able to work? Would I get angry or depressed? Would my hair fall out? Would it affect the way I dealt with my loved ones and friends? Would I experience fatigue, cramps, headaches or other possible side effects cited in the product literature? Would it affect my sex drive? But, most importantly, would it work? Would it kill the Hepatitis C virus I had carried in my body for several decades? This book is a record of what happened along with detailed scientific research about Hep C and this new generation of "miracle" cures.
Author Biography
Valerie and Banning Lary have been together for 30 years. Valerie's Hep C began to cause problems with her health about ten years ago and got progressively worse. She investigated the interferon / ribavirin option, but the horrendous side effects reported by others, plus the only 50% cure rate, made it undesirable. Then, a new one-a-day pill treatment option appeared on the horizon: Harvoni. As her condition worsened, her doctor got her approved for a 12-week treatment. Her viral load dropped from 4,660,000 to undetected in two weeks and remained there. Her side effects were minimal as she changed her diet, drank a lot of pure water and exercised. She kept a daily journal of her experiences which forms the backbone of this book. Banning Lary, PhD (psychology) is certified in Choice Theory / Reality Therapy, and is an award-winning writer, editor and multimedia producer specializing in educational documentaries. His work has spread useful and practical knowledge to millions of people around the world.
