Big Pharma? Not Hepatitis C Symptoms (this time)

This post is not about hepatitis c symptoms directly but is about something that makes me sick... and might literally make you sick too. It comes in the form of 7 short videos (link). I originally saw these videos on Lloyd Wright's blog. He is the author of several Hep C books and many resources about Hepatitis C. These video segments are from a documentary about the drug industry's seemingly primary motivation... profit. We will all have an occasion to get a prescription from our doctor so these videos are mandatory to make you a more informed consumer.

Please visit Lloyd's website for a wealth of information on Hep C but go directly to YouTube to watch the videos. The quality is better. I have put up the first of the seven below but be sure to watch all 7 segments by clicking on the link below each video that points to the next part.



Also as another resource, there is a web site mentioned in the the last video to help combat the confusion about which drug may be best for you. That website offers a lot of information about what might be best for you and save you money. It is from Consumer Reports, a trusted impartial organization. As always, please take this and all information presented as educational and find a health professional to discuss what you find here. Here is a short video from Consumer Reports about what they are doing with this site

Even though this article (check out the other posts) was not about Hep C directly, I still urge you, as always, to get tested. Early diagnosis of the virus, even before you have hepatitis c symptoms is extremely important. The earlier you know if you have Hep C, the more you can do.
