every parent should have this book.......2007-10-11
Attention parents, every parent should be educated about the shots the doctors are pumping into our precious babies. don't be brain washed by what they tell you. read this book and just be opened minded. then watch the doctors face when you start asking them questions regarding the ingredients.
To Paradox.......2007-10-01
This is not a review, but rather a response to the last poster inquiring why the autism rate is soaring in spite of the declining thimerosol (mercury derived preservative) amount in vaccines.
As a mother of a 4 yo son with autism, I believe that autism is a multi-faceted condition. I don't believe my son's autism was caused by mercury, HOWEVER, I do believe that he may have been vaccine injured; due to the fact that he received the Hepatitis B vaccine when he was less than 24 hours old. It is my belief that in genetically predisposed children, bombarding their immature immune systems with a vaccine is PART of the autism puzzle. Think about it...exposing the immature gastointestinal system to solids before it is ready increases the risk of food allergies...wheat, milk, eggs, nut products, etc...similar analogy.
It's not that the vaccines themselves are inherently harmful; but if they are given to a system not ready to adequately handle them, therein lies the problem. The US has the most aggressive vaccination schedule in the WORLD! China has changed their vaccination schedule so as not to vacc any child under the age of two!
Just my 2 cents.
paradox.......2007-09-22
Can anyone tell me why there is less and less mercury in vaccines yet the autism rate is getting higher and higher?
must have for parents.......2007-09-12
i wish i had this book with my first kid. it is now on the list of essentials to share with friends and families. i am not a scholar but this book was easy to understand.
What is the fuss about ?.......2007-09-06
I dont understand why this book got the great reviews it did
I have read several books on vaccinations Dr. Neustaedter's book, Dr. Tenpennys book and done quite a bit of research on the web. This is the first book I had picked up.
My problem with Dr. Cave's book is that its not honest -- its almost silently pro-vaccination. She openly credits vaccines for reduction in diseases while its obvious that that claim is questionable. Also, her 'recommended' list of vaccines is ALMOST every one of them -- except Hep B and Chicken pox. These are the 2 easiest ones to eliminate even by a lay man. you dont need an 'expert' doctor to tell you that. Every thing else she recommends all in a slightly delayed manner (by a few months).
If Dr. Cave really want to tell you what your doctor is not, then there should be more statistics on the incidence of these diseases and the real risks of contracting them. For example : Diptheria , every one knows there have been no cases of it for 50 years in the entire western hemisphere and no cases of wild polio for over 2 decades now. That is information that should be included for each disease before recommending the vaccination finally.
Also, she has no chapters on immune system function or the real harmful devastating effects vaccines are having on some children.
My personal opinion is Dr. Tenpennys books/dvds and Dr. Neustaedters book are far more convincing and useful.
Book Description
• A balanced, comprehensive guide to routine childhood vaccinations that offers parents the information they need to make the right choices for their child.
• Fairly examines the pros and cons of this highly charged issue.
Deciding whether or when to vaccinate a child is one of the most important--and most difficult--health-care decisions a parent will ever make. The recent increase in the number of vaccinations recommended and the concurrent controversies about whether vaccinations are safe or even effective have left many parents confused and concerned.
Midwife, herbalist, and mother of four, Aviva Jill Romm sifts through the spate of current research on vaccine safety and efficacy and offers a sensible, balanced discussion of the pros and cons of each routine childhood vaccination. She presents the full spectrum of options available to parents: full vaccination on a standardized or individualized schedule, selective vaccination, or no vaccinations at all. Negotiating daycare and school requirements, dealing with other parents, and traveling with an unvaccinated child are covered in detail. The book also suggests ways to strengthen children's immune systems and maintain optimal health and offers herbal and homeopathic remedies for childhood ailments. Emphasizing that no single approach is appropriate for every child, the author guides parents as they make the choices that are right for their child.

Well-researched and informative.......2007-10-09
I am a former biochemistry researcher who researched experimental drugs that were submitted for FDA approval. I am also a new parent who recently had to face the decision of whether or not to vaccinate.
The FDA is made up of approvals boards that have had to retract or revise their decisions on many occasions. Science is still in its infancy in some regards, and when it comes to testing long-term effects of vaccines on infants and children, it is frankly primitive. As many readers know, the FDA has also been sued numerous times for conflicts of interest. Additionally, as a scientist, the possibility of diseases jumping the species barrier through vaccines via the DNA fragments of monkeys or aborted fetuses on which the vaccines were grown is a very real concern.
I am simply not convinced that vaccines have been sufficiently studied, each batch properly screened for the hundreds of known diseases that can be inadvertently transferred, and that all conflict of interests have been eliminated on the part of the FDA.
Of course, I realize the difficulties that such a task would pose. But that does not stop me from facing the fact that vaccines are still experimental substances with known adverse reactions, whose widespread use is heavily influenced by powerful pharmaceutical companies. These companies have a vested interest in making sure each and every newborn gets a Hepatitis B shot (regardless of whether a risk exists and regardless of the fact that the shot is ineffective within a matter of years) and that all children are given waves of booster shots, regardless of the concentration of the vaccine in the child's system at the time. Needless to say, my husband and I chose not to vaccinate.
I would encourage every parent to read this book and to understand their options. Research the history of conflicts of interest and errors on the part of the FDA. And above all, do not be afraid of asking questions and making a decision that others may find controversial. It is a shame that the Hippocratic Oath's edict to "First do no harm" cannot be faithfully applied to the subject of vaccines...
Very informative!.......2007-09-05
I highly recommend this book to all new & potential parents. It is highly informative without swaying too much to either side of "to vaccinate or not". It gives the facts of each side and leaves the decision up to the parents.
Good book to turn to for vaccine advice!.......2007-06-07
This book offered balanced pros and cons on vaccines, which is great when everything from doctors' offices is solely pro vaccine. I have read several books on vaccines is this was the most helpful.
Author: Now that the HiB vaccine has been around a little longer, can we have a Part II with more information on that?
Finally, a balanced approach!.......2007-05-16
Finally we have an excellent book that gives the pros and cons of vaccination for parents and medical professions to consider. Too many books are biased either for or against. This author gives you ALL the facts from both perspectives, and lets the parent decide.
As an adult with hearing loss courtesy of a vax, I'm already anti-vax, but it's great to have this educational material on hand to educate doctors, teachers, and interfering family members.
Not all that balanced.......2007-01-09
This book has some great information but isn't written in layman's terms. Therfore, portions of it can be difficult to understand for someone who isn't overly familiar with medicine. Also, the author definitely approaches the subject from the position that parents should not vaccinate, and I was hoping for a more balanced approach. I would recommend What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations instead, which was written by a family practice doctor who began noticing adverse reactions following vaccinations. What Your Doctor... is much easier to understand and is written from a more neutral perspective.

Favorite Show of 2006-07.......2007-09-10
My husband and I loved this show. We have enjoyed watching all the episodes we missed and watching the ones we had seen again. Several of our friends have borrowed the DVDs and are fans now too.
Book Description
This book provides parents with a comprehensive, scientifically-based guide to the facts, myths, problems and solutions associated with raising a vaccine free child. It helps them protect their children both from the wiles of the vaccine industry and from harmful germs. With 467 references, there are no trendy anti-vaccination myths in this book. Readers will learn that immunization is not the reason for the absence of some infectious diseases, that insidious, long-term side effects are very common, and that there is a media blackout on the topics of vaccine side effects and vaccine failures. Understanding the difference between childhood illnesses and the other infectious diseases is the key to understanding immunisation. This book advises parents on how to bring children safely through childhood illnesses like measles and whooping cough, and discusses medical and non-medical prevention and treatment of the non-childhood infectious diseases. The myth that herd immunity exists paves the way for the persecution of non-compliant health-conscious families. The information in this book empowers parents of vaccine free children to withstand the accusation that they are spoiling herd immunity. A look at the early documents regarding vaccination reveals that it is an unscientific procedure that is based on falsehood, cruelty and supposition.

A must have..........2007-10-10
This is a must have book for those raising or planning on raising (or even wanting to know about raising!) a vaccine free child.
I learned a great deal about all of the VPDs (vaccine preventable diseases) and how to properly treat them - something most people aren't aware of anymore!
This is well laid out, researched, and cited. I highly recommend it!
Ignorant , dangerous ideas.......2007-09-21
Who is Wendy Lydall anyway? The so-called expertise in this loopy book appears to have come from People magazine. You can bet that Ms. Lydall was vaccinated as a child. Why in the world would she want her children (and yours) to remain susceptible to some of the most awful and crippling diseases that can today be easily prevented.
She makes whooping cough sound like a bad case of the flu. She doesn't tell you that it has a 1% death rate with seizures and brain damage in 5%.
She says that vaccines have not caused the decline in incidence of pertussis, diptheria, polio, smallpox, yellow fever, tetanus, tuberculosis, hepatitis,hemophilus, meningitis, influenza, measles, mumps, rabies, rubella, typhoid and chickenpox. She says the declines in incidence were caused by some natural "cycle". She gives no evidence for this extraordinary claim, but expects you to swallow it.
She berates "callous irresponsible medical officials", but overlooks the fact that medical people are responsible for producing the huge improvements in public health over the last century.
This book would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.
Awesome Book!.......2007-01-11
Lydall's book provides tons of great information on vaccinations from the history to homeopathic cures for childhood diseases. She tells of her experiences with childhood diseases and the effects of vaccinations.
I would also like to add that I have done a little research beyond this book and for those that are interested in natural health for their children check out Sharon Broer's book "Train Up Your Children In the Way They Should Eat." Breastmilk all the way! If you for whatever reason can't breastfeed she gives you a great homemade formula! Also check into cod liver oil - they use to give it to children all the time to help protect them from childhood diseases. My grandparents never had a vaccine, but took cod liver oil as children and they never had a childhood disease! My husband and I take cod liver oil and I now give it to our 6-month-old daughter.
If it was made by God it's good. If it was made by man check the label and check it twice.
God bless you!
Very Poorly Written.......2006-10-31
While I would like to rate this book more highly because of the good information that it contains, I cannot recommend it. It is extremely poorly written, and there is no bio of the author. This is a controversial topic and non-vaxers are bucking the mainstream, which means that they need to be extra meticulous when making the case against vaccines. There are better resources out there, skip this one.
Great book for raising a healthy child.......2006-08-18
End the fear campaign that vaccines bring about. Learn how to treat the childhood diseases and do it w/o fear and w/o intimidation. Vaccines aren't the best thing since sliced bread and childhood diseases do have a purpose.
Book Description
The Vaccine Guide covers each disease and its vaccine, providing difficult-to-obtain facts about vaccine reactions. Also discussed are vaccine effectiveness, toxicity and adverse effects, legal requirements, alternatives, and the latest information on the threat of bioterrorism. New to this edition are topics of particular concern to adults, including smallpox and anthrax vaccines, flu shots, and new conditions linked to vaccine reactions.

everthing u never wanted 2 know.......2007-10-01
this book is enough to make u want to move 2 a desert island! its gross and scary, but very thorough and enlightening. If u like being informed this is for you.
Wonderful choice for concerned parents.......2007-07-15
I thought this book was very thorough and very balanced. It give you information but leaves room for each person(s) to decide what is best for them, their children, their family.
Very Helpful and Objective.......2007-01-16
I found this book helpful and objective. For example, this book explains that Hep B becomes a danger when your child is a teenager and makes the choice to use intravenous drugs or have unprotected sex. And by the time infants become teenagers those shots they had as infants are not effective anymore. Facts like this are very helpful. I am only sorry that I was not aware of this sooner since my toddler has had all 3 Hep B shots, the first one was in the hospital, not that I was asked if I wanted my 2 day old newborn to be given the Hep B shot.
I felt sick to my stomach about bringing my infant to his well doctor visits since he was 2 months old because that is when the shots began. I was not aware of any literature then, but I felt in my heart that he was too young and too vulnerable to get 7 vaccinations injected into him (7 vaccinations within 4 shots).
I agreed to 1 shot at 2 months and he took that just fine. Before his 4 month visit I read the book "A Shot in the Dark" and realized there was some unnecessary danger with shots for my infant. I agreed to 2 shots at his 4 month visit. After that I purchased this book and my now 15 month old has had very limited shots and has handled all of them well. I plan on not giving him the DTP and MMR shot at all, and the rest given slowly. My first Pediatrician asked me to leave their office since I was not willing to give my 2 month infant all 7 shots. My current Pediatrician is wonderful and very supportive in my decision to give my son limited shots, because she has seen some horrible reactions and also has seen those children who have had shots still get the disease, in particular the Whooping cough and Measles.
I can honestly say my 15 month old has not been sick yet. All my friends & family have chosen to fully vaccinate their babies and every one of them has been sick more then once before their 1st birthdays. This of course may or may not have to do with the shots, but I kind of wonder if it does.
As parents, we have to make the decisions that we feel are best for our children. And it should be just that - Our decision. After reading this book or others like it, you have to decide which is the lesser of two evils and make the decision that you feel most comfortable with. Just be prepared to be a little nervous either way you go.
Fantastic!.......2007-01-15
Thought provoking and insightful, Neustaedter informs about the dangers of vaccines AND the diseases in which they are designed for. He does not take the diseases lightly in detailing the effects of them. In addition, he gives natural alternatives that work with the body instead of against it. He sites a plethera of sources. It is written in way that average parents and doctors would both benefit from. By the end of the book, I felt informed enough to discuss options with my doctor.
Thorough unbiased account of vaccinations.......2006-07-13
This book details the studies on each major vaccination. I would recommend this book to every parent and international traveler prior to receiving any vaccinations.

A must read for anyone that wants healthy pets.......2004-10-20
Pat McKay was a pioneer in animal nutrition over 30 years ago and has led the way to natural healthcare and ways to have happier, healthier, longer lived pets WITHOUT the chronic diseases that plague so many pets today. Her research for the book quotes MANY experts in the fields of immunology and veterinarian science. Readers should have an open mind when reading the book and be prepared for some shocking information. I never felt completely right about vaccinations before I read the book. Its interesting how the truth really will set you free!
Rubbish.......2001-12-09
If you are firm believer in pseudoscience anc half truths, then read on!
As a fellow medical practitioner I am dismayed that McKay could so misinterpret data and draw the conclusions in this book. Yes, there are no "perfect" vaccines, however the author magnifies the minute risks for the various vaccines to epidemic proportions. The facts that show vaccines work are ignored and the half truths about the failure rates are indulged. McKay has written a socially irresponsible book by further perpetuating the very myths she should be helping to quash.
Convincing expose of the medical fraud of vaccines........1999-05-10
From the very first paragraph of this book, it is obvious that Pat McKay's only concern is to warn people about the toxicity of vaccines and the damage they do to our pets. Even as a veterinarian, she is definitely not "on the fence" about the validity and/or benefits of vaccinations, and after I finished reading this book, neither was I. It taught me a lot, including some compelling historical facts like what was really behind the "Swine Flu Epidemic." Overall, a most radical and bravely informative book. My hat is off to Pat for daring to tell the truth.

It's time for a wake-up call.......2006-02-23
I just read a report today (February 23, 2006) stating that a panel of pediatricians are recommending that all children, from 6 months to 5 years of age, be REQUIRED an annual vaccination against the flu virus! Whoa, whoa, whoa their boy. Not so fast. Enter Neil Miller's brigade of truth-seekers. Miller's book should be a must-read for any cognizant parent who wants to keep their children out of harms way of Big-Pharma controlled CDC, FDA, HHS, etc. Well documented and brilliantly researched, it answers the questions as to why the Germ Theory and Isopathic theory are flawed, the consequences of the blind "facts" of vaccination success, and how we can empower ourselves against the Pharmaceutical Beast. Compulsory vaccination programs need to be halted at once, and Neil Miller's expose will pave the way for the re-education of a once-enlightened, responsible society.
Great Expose on Vaccinations.......2006-01-11
'Immunizations', a euphemism for forced vaccinations, have outwardly cost 500 million dollars and an impending estimated 1.5 billion dollars from current lawsuits from caused deaths and disabilities. Neil Z. Miller's expose on the likely insanity and dangers of this 'treatment' seems very well documented. Studies show the inefficacy of vaccination but its practice goes on.
Miller points to obvious data showing that the amount of vaccination in a culture is in direct proportion to its disease incidence. Miller ties in the facts of our rampant and zealous childhood vaccination programs with our extremely high infant mortality rate (for a developed country). These vaccinations typically contain mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde. An adverse reaction from a vaccine on a child is not attributed to the vaccine if the reactin occurs more than a few hours later. This and other unsound data collecting techniques protect this possibly lethal practice.
U.S. soldiers from the Gulf War had a high incidence of complications. The British and French troops did not. The difference? The American soldiers received extensive 'immunizations' (including anthrax) before their deployment.
Miller also brings up the quite alarming possibility that the AIDS epidemic was a purposeful event on the peoples of Central Africa. The countries that received our 'help' with extensive immunizations (known live viruses along with plenty unknown viruses found in monkeys) had the highest incidence of this disease.
Hopefully Neil Miller's work will get the attention it deserves from the World Health Organization and others so that if there is healing to be done from this travesty, it can be done now... and a lesson can be learned.
Five Stars
Raises excellent issues but uses misleading graphs and data.......2004-05-24
The author has done extensive research into the effects of immunizations and presents much data that would be lead a person to believe that vaccinations do much harm and provide no benefit.
In the forward by George R. Schwartz, MD, he states that "a voice is seeking dialogue and requiring counterpoint" (page 8). Dr. Schwartz does not provide this counterpoint but only states that he "advocates the standard vaccinations" (page 7). But this is critical for the average reader to make an informed decision. Both sides of the issue should be presented in this book in order to help the reader make the best decision possible. Perhaps a format where the author presents his findings with an opposing view of from the medical establishment and rebuttals would serve the reader best.
The book presents some very convincing statistics, however I was very disappointed in the misleading manner some of the numbers were reported.
Many times the author points out that infection rates were falling before the vaccine was introduced and implies that the continued rate of decline was not due to the vaccine. Although the prior decline is relevant it doesn't prove that the vaccine is not effective. The infection rate might have stabilized at a higher rate without the vaccine. Even if the vaccine were effective this argument could be used to show that it wasn't. The data that needs to be compared to resolve this are infection rates for comparable populations of those vaccinated versus those not vaccinated.
Another example is on page 29 where it states that "In 1989, 89% of all school-aged children in the U.S. who contracted measles were adequately vaccinated". This is a misleading way to present the numbers. It makes it impossible to evaluate the effectiveness of the vaccine. To demonstrate this, suppose that million children were vaccinated and 22 were not. Also suppose that there were 89 cases of measles from the vaccinated group and 11 cases from those not vaccinated. In this scenario 89% of cases are from vaccinated persons. However what needs to be compared is the percent of cases in the vaccinated group versus the percent of cases in the non-vaccinated group. In this example 0.0089% of the vaccinated group became ill versus 50% of the non-vaccinated group. These numbers are fabricated and are only used to demonstrate that some of the statistics reported in this book can be misleading and are not the best data to using in determining the efficacy of the vaccination.
What I find more troublesome is that author "is a medical research journalist", has a degree with "an emphasis on statistical analysis", and is a member of Mensa (a society for those with a genius level I.Q.). With this background the author, Neil Miller, must realize that the data mentioned above is misleading and is not the relevant statistic to compare to judge the harm or benefit of the vaccination in question. What is needed is the rate of infection, death, or other complications, such as autism, in similar groups of vaccinated versus non-vaccinated populations. After seeing data presented in a purposely misleading fashion I came to question the author's sincerity when he states that "I merely try to present the facts in a clear and straightforward manner".
In conclusion I would like to point out that the author has done society a great service to gather a tremendous amount of information and raise very important issues regarding vaccinations. His conclusions might very well be correct! However the reader would greatly benefit if the author expanded the book and co-authored it with those of the medical establishment propounding alternate views and then include a series of rebuttals. With the tremendous amount of medical information available and contradicting positions the reader is generally left with doubts and concerns. Having an open dialog, as proposed in the forward of the book by Dr. George Schwartz, might help resolve and clarify many issues in the reader's mind.
Please read!.......2002-02-12
You owe it to the health of your child to do the reasearch before allowing him/her to be immunized. I have done alot of reading and talked to several Dr.'s and have decided against any immunizations. The information is out there. Why take a risk? I started seeking info. after I became pregnant because I worked with a man who has a 5 yr. old that is severly damaged by the DPT vaccine. He was a thriving baby, doing everything on time until his 6 month vaccines. That night he started having severe seizures, up to 100 per day. Now he is unable to walk, talk, or function at all. It's sad. I will not take that chance and I have made an informed decision. You can double check Mr. Miller's information. He's not making any of this up. It's based on fact, not opinion.
Exposing the Dark Side of Mandatory Vaccination.......2000-10-12
This book was well worth a second read. I first read it in 1996. As a member of the generation that was allowed to get the measles and chicken pox, this book made sense to me. As the parent of a child brain-damaged from pertussis vaccine toxins, I welcomed this well researched work. I wish I had read it when I was pregnant with Bill. I read so much on nutrition and breast-feeding. I did not even know that infants were vaccinated before I took my son to his first well-baby visit at 6 weeks old. I thought it was just that, a well baby visit. The doctor's attempt to fix what was not broken resulted in a developmentally delayed baby and then later a moderately mentally retarded adolescent. Now with a mentally retarded adult child, I can say there is nothing moderate about post-vaccinal encephalopathy. The politics of immunology is well reported in this little book. It is very to the point. Mr. Miller proves his thesis over and over again and vindicates those professionals who have gone against the grain and refused to participate and those parents whose voices are too seldom given a hearing on this issue. I love a good expose' and this is the best of its genre. It's a great murder mystery, a whodunit that Mr. Miller unravels in great style. The truth is always good, sometimes it goes down a little hard. The price of the book is little to pay for a truth I learned the hard way. ie The truth that corporate profits are being served and not public health. I have bought several copies and given them away. The reality of the tragedy and the scale of this tragedy that he reports on has been suppressed. As a Holocaust Studies major, I cannot help but notice the similarities between attrition by vaccination and the systematic nature of the other war against civilians. One of those similarities has been the refusal to believe atrocity stories. As a parent who 22 years ago began telling of the terrible trauma inflicted on my innocent son, I feel vindicated but I don't feel better. Two of the chapters in this book are "Human sacrifices" and "Genocide". Find out what are federal government has been up to while we have been looking the other way. Margaret S. Scheuer

an eye opener.......2000-11-14
I recommend this book to every parent and parent to be as well as health care professionals, especially pediatricians. It is an eye opener about the issue of vaccinations. The presentation of the issue is very well rounded. It provides sections on:
1. the childhood diseases against which the routine vaccinations are given 2. the opinions of the health care professionals on the vaccinations themselves 3. the experiences of parents with vaccinations 4. guidelines on how to gather information about vaccination exemptions and alternative "treatments".
I strongly recommend it. All parents owe to get informed about vaccinations. God the Almighty entrusted our children to us and we need to care for them with knowledge, and pray for the best.
Reasoned voice in the emotional debate.......2000-04-29
Most of the articles I read on vaccination are very emotional - they are either pro or against it. They make the decision making process of a new parent even harder. This book has a reasoned, less combative tone. It presents opinions as well as information from both side of the debate. I found it educational and helpful.
great book but some of the pages are upside down..........1999-10-17
My wife and I have a 14 day old daughter(an absolute angel!!)and we are interested in vaccination issues so we ordered this book. We were really enjoying it until we got toward the back of it and noticed that 20 pages are upside down and that those upside down pages are THE same 20 pages that precede the upside down section!! Hope that wasn't too confusing?! In other words, we not only have upside down pages but we are missing 20 pages!! This is a MAJOR error from either the publisher or the printer. So, we will have to hold off final judgement of this book until amazon ships us a new copy that actually has the missing 20 pages in it!

Excellent resource for all Parents,Educators,Doctors!.......1999-08-11
The whole immunization issue is so one sided. This book finally gives the other perspective, in an easy to read format. From an educator, and parent's standpoint the book is convincing that immunizing your child is not the only way. No one can force you to immunize your child if you have a belief it's not right. Read this book and finally become educated, confident and informed!
