Seeing as the fight against liver disease was the impetus for this blog, I thought I should include a few updates . . . some depressing news, and some good news.
First, check out this story: http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1057947
about students banned from school in Xinjiang province. Proof that denial and stigma can be as damaging, or more so, than the actual condition of being hep B positive.
Here's a more encouraging story: http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/07112006/244/novartis-china-east-meets-west-r-d.html
about the Swiss drug company's plans to build a huge r & d center in Shanghai, with an initial focus on infectious causes of cancer: like hep B virus.
So it goes, one step back, another step forward . . .
