Adult-Immunization Books

I cannot recommend this book enough. Very well researched and written. Dr. Neustaedter is a true advocate for children.

I found it to be really informative. Neustaedter doesn't pull any punches, that's for sure! I guess this book would be characterized as "anti-vax," but it backs everything up with common sense and scientific studies. It's basically just a smart book, and helped me decide about vaccines for my baby. I really liked the way it was written. I'm not very familiar as of yet with homeopathy, and the author gives many homeopathic remedies/healthcare options.

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.

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.

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.
