I wish I had known this book existed before I made the mistake of vaccianting my boys
This is an EXCELLENT book. My son was a perfectly NORMAL, beautiful little boy until he received his MMR vaccine. Within 24 hours he had all the hallmark symptoms of autism. He and his little brother are close in age, so my younger son received vaccines for the first 6 months of his life. The result? AUTISM AND PDD-NOS!!! If I had read this book, my boys, myself, and the rest of my family would not be suffering the way they are now, and our lives would be totally different. This should be REQUIRED reading for any new parent!

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations
Finely written, well organized information. Great tool for empowering parents to make appropriate choices for their own children, with a wider range of information than what you typically recieve from the medical community.

This was a great research starter for me
I think the toughest part in reading books on vaccination is that you can find a book to support ANY conclusion that you have already made. But what about those of us who are (were) genuinely uncertain about what we plan to do with our children? I borrowed this book from a friend when I was pregnant and I highly recommend it as a place to start. Other reviewers are correct -- she is not vehemently anti-vaccination OR pro-vaccination. I appreciated the middle of the road approach, and since I can think for myself, I didn't mind that her recommendations were based on what is required by law in most states to enter school, etc. She mentions the exemptions, but acknowledges that her recommendations are based on if you want to give vaccines, but want to be cautious with it. I only give this book 4 stars because it was published in 2001 and a lot of its info needs to be updated (hint, hint, new edition??), but I still honestly recommend that parents who are looking to start their own quest for answers start here.

The vaccines covered include Hep B, DTP/DPaP, Hib, Polio, MMR, Varicella, Hep A, Pneumococcal, Meningococcal, Flu, Lyme Disease, and some brief overviews of Japanese encephalitis, Cholera, and yellow fever (vaccines for world travelers). Cave also includes a history of vaccines, including some failures. Cave's approach shies away from telling parents what to do, but it does give lots of information to think on and form your own conclusions.

Interesting but contains outdated and discredited information
This book contains some valuable information about vaccines, although it gets tiresome reading all of the "maybes," "possiblys," and "could bes."

My biggest criticism of the book, however, is that in making a strong and repeated point about the danger of the MMR vaccine, it relies heavily upon research by a doctor whose MMR-autism report has been thoroughly discredited. Dr. Andrew Wakefield's scary report in 1998 suggesting a link between MMR and autism and recommending that children space out those three vaccines is no longer considered good science even by those who initially supported it. Indeed, 10 of the 12 doctors who signed the Wakefield report (Wakefield was the 13th) have now retracted their support of the report's conclusions.

Dr. Wakefield began a hearing in March, 2008, on charges of misconduct for the manner in which he conducted the research for his report, and there is a great deal of controversy surrounding him for alleged conflicts of interest and inappriorate research methods. For example, prior to publishing his report, Dr. Wakefield had sought a patent for a competing measles vaccine, one that presumably would be of much greater value in a marketplace that sought to separate the MMR vaccine into three shots.

Dr. Cave's book was published before any of this came to light, so I suppose the most efficient way to criticize this book is simply to say that it is outdated as to some of its most potent claims. Frankly, this makes me wonder what other scientific claims made in the book are outdated. Seven years is a long time in the world of science, and it would be ideal to see an updated version of this book.

A must-have for every parent
This book is fantastic! It is sure to provide with the information you need about all the common vaccines routinely injected in American children today. I also really appreciated the "safer vaccine schedule" Dr. Cave provides in the book. Dr. Cave is not against vaccines, but she makes her point clear that there are major problems with many of the ingredients in today's vaccines.

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting. Danger 1 - on my own The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet. Danger 2 - on the buckwheat There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements. The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes. Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation. The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however. Danger 3 – only diet If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume. The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed. Danger 4- food is my best friend The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry. Remember everything is in your own hands.
