Gary Barg:
I’ve noticed over the past couple of
years a marked increase in the
amount of emails or calls we receive
regarding hepatitis C. Is
hepatitis C really that prevalent in
America?
Naomi Judd:
It will kill four times as many
Americans as AIDS will over the next
decade. I feel that whatever kind of
ability God has given me, as an
entertainer and as a public figure,
it is so I can be a representative
for others.
GB:
I think your book, Naomi’s
Breakthrough Guide: 20 Choices to
Transform Your Life, really speaks

Came across your Web site trying to
organize my life and figure out what to do. Been caregiving
since late 1980s. Wife got MS, then Dad got sick, then Mom
got sick. Been caregiving so long, I can't believe it. I've

before we are pushed into the street.
Sincerely,
Tired Tony
