Hi.. Just to let you know that we have just published a commentary on patient advocacy on the hepcbc website. It is part of our new “Weekly.Bull” series. The article is called “What Do You Say,” and it talks about the need for the Redemption Trials in Canada.
I hope it makes a difference! We really need to get Canadian physicians on board

This is a really excellent article CD. I know that each message that is put out creates a ripple effect even if it is not apparent at first so it will make a difference.
Hi cdmazoff, What a fantastic article. Succinct and easy to relate to, a case study that surely so many people will identify with, the big picture issue, and the information on how to achieve cure without a gazillion bucks or a miracle, the miracle is already here. Thankyou for sharing, I hope many read it.
Happies from Ariel
