RESEARCH QUESTION:

What are the current treatments, and alternative treatments, being used for patients suffering with the Hepatitis C  (HCV)  virus?

Hepatitis C is a current global epidemic.  It is spreading rapidly, and treatments are subjective.  In researching this I discovered that in order to learn about any alternative treatments, you must first learn about the obvious treatments and the epidemiology of the disease, so I have included information on this page about Western Medicine treatments as well as information about alternative treatments.  I chose this topic because I have three people very close to me suffering with the disease.  I hope this can be used as a tool to help them, and others, with their research on how to treat the chronic disease.
