American consumers have been inundated over the past few years by marketing campaigns for a growing range of anti-viral, biologic “cures” for Hepatitis C. The disease affects between 2.7 million and 3.9 million Americans, and between 75 and 85 percent of those who are infected with Hepatitis C are afflicted with the chronic variant. For an estimated 1 to 5 percent of Hepatitis C patients, it is the major cause of death from liver cancer and cirrhosis.
