A Great Help

This book has been a great help to us what with dealing with Liver disease and awaiting a transplant. Thank you Dr. Chopra for writing this so that we may not only learn how to deal with this condition but do it in a knowledgeable way. This book has also helped us to deal with out fears.

Who WANTS to read all about LIVERS...

but unfortunately, sometimes you have to learn about things you'd rather not. And when my good friend nuked his liver with alcohol and tylenol and nearly died, I had to find out what was up, because the staff at the hospital was really scaring me. This book, written in very clearly and from a very optimistic point of view, definitely answered most of my questions, and I am even a little more hopeful than I was when I began it. If you know anyone who drinks heavily OR already has liver disease, it's the book to read or share with them.
