Working with People with Hepatitis C in the Age of a Cure
What you will learn

- Learn the rationale for treating people with Chinese medicine even after they are cured of hepatitis C.
- Employ 3 modalities of Chinese medicine used for people diagnosed with hepatitis C.
Course Overview
Globally, an estimated 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C infection.
Chinese medicine has a tremendous amount to offer to people diagnosed with hepatitis C, even once the virus has been cleared (cured) through antiviral treatment. Currently, antiviral medicines can cure more than 95% of persons with hepatitis C infection, although with the caveat that many still do not have access due to lack of care or cost of treatment. Yet, many of those currently infected with hepatitis C or have cleared the virus have developed or will develop cirrhosis or liver cancer. About 399,000 people die each year of late-stage liver disease or liver cancer.
In this course, Dr Cohen makes a strong case for using Integrated Chinese Medicine to treat people who continue to suffer from chronic liver disease whether or not they have been cured of hepatitis C infection.
This course has been produced from materials recorded at the ICCM Congress. The ICCM arranges a yearly outstanding international TCM gathering held in Tel Aviv during Vernal Equinox in March.
