Well Written and Easy To Read

I highly recommend this book to any parent who is seeking information about vaccination. I found Raising a Vaccine Free Child to be well researched, well written and easy to read. It is exactly the book I needed when my first child came along. Wendy Lydall provides a scientifically referenced case against vaccination as well as providing helpful information about infectious diseases. Not only has this book given me a great insight into the scientific, social and financial history of vaccination, but it has given me confidence in my decision not to vaccinate.

Best book on vaccination

This is the best book on vaccination I have read because it not only explains what is wrong with vaccination, it also helped me lose my fear of the diseases that my children could catch by giving me information about each disease. The advice is not flighty, it is backed up with evidence from scientific studies. People who do vaccinate also need this advice because their children can get the diseases. I found the historical section amazing. We have been taught to believe untrue myths, and every parent needs to know the true historical facts, especially about Pasteur and Jenner. I liked the amusing anecdotes about the way believers in vaccination behave, and after reading it I am better able to cope with the anger that my decision not to vaccinate provokes.

A must have...

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!

Awesome Book!

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!

Great for all parents concerned about vaccines & their kids

There is more and more information coming to light on the topic of health risks and damage associated with vaccines - the mercury/autism issue is only one of many. It can be a frightening road for concerned parents to navigate when trying to decide for themselves if there is indeed risks associated with vaccines, and if those risks exceed the benefits or not. Traditional healthcare practitioners, having never researched the topic themselves and believing what they've been told during their training and by the drug reps, often take a hostile view towards those parents who would "dare to question" vaccines. This book is a great resource with a wealth of knowledge for those progressive parents who want to decide for themselves about vaccines and whether or not they want their kids to receive them. It is well thought out, easy to read, and has strong references to back up the various claims. Unfortunately, much of the "accepted" research that physicians, nurses, and the media often cite has been performed by individuals with a conflict of interest and/or funded by companies/organizations who profit from vaccines. The following statement by the author is quite pointed: "Governments have a moral responsibility to ensure that vaccines are properly tested for side effects before they foist them on their subjects, but all governments fail dismally in this duty. They prefer to take the easy option of just believing what the manufacturers say..." I have pretty much every book written on this topic, "The vaccine guide", "Vaccinations a thoughtful parents guide", Vaccines - are they really safe and effective", "Vaccination roulette", "What your Dr. may not tell you about childrens vaccines", etc. They are all great & even having read them all there was still new information in this book that enabled me to learn even more on the topic.
