Sears is not anti-vaccine, he is simply stating the affects it may have on your child. Dr. We use the book to become educated on each individual vaccine so we can talk with the pediatrician more knowledgeably. I originally checked this book out at the library but felt I needed to own this one. It is a great directory of how each vaccine is made and how it may affect your child.
He lays out the facts as he sees them and allows the reader to make his/her own judgments. Above all, Sears makes it clear that his goal is to educate, not persuade. The book is easy to read, sometimes witty, and very well organized so that you can find the specific information you want easily.
Dr. He offers his professional opinion on the importance of each vaccine and whether benefits outweigh risks (and vice versa). This is probably the most "balanced" book on vaccines available.
He also addresses common concerns regarding aluminum in vaccines, vaccine safety testing, etc. While Sears's book is not my only source of information, it is one of the most useful. Sears is definitely not anti-vaccine, yet he also confirms that not all of the fears surrounding vaccines are unfounded.
The book address each vaccine/disease in detail, including a full list of ingredients and their possible side effects, how serious the disease is and whether/how it's treatable, and reasons for and against getting the vaccine.
I haven't had much time to read the book yet, but from what I have looked at so far, it seems very good with lots of helpful, non biased information.
This book was worth every penny we paid. He includes 2 "alternative" vaccine schedules for any parent concerned. He also takes Ped MD's to task for kicking patients out of their practices (like ours did) when a parent won't slavishly adhere to the American Academy of Ped's vaccine schedule. Dr. I can't recommend it highly enough. He goes into detail about each of the 30+ shots your child is scheduled to receive as a newborn/toddler. Sears' book is a great book for any parent who is concerned in any respect about vaccines or just has questions about them. He also addresses the autism/MMR controversy, the thimerosal/mercury issues, and addresses aluminum in vaccines (something our Ped didn't even know, when we asked her "How much aluminum is in these shots.") and recommends caution given that no one has studied the effects of injected aluminum into infants.
They are looking for profit not love.If you need more proof with great visuals, read:The Poisoned Needle: Suppressed Facts about VaccinationYou will NEVER get 'stuck' again. You love your child, you care for them, you only what what is best.but does the medical profession.
