Customer Rating:
Summary: Must read for anyone who will get or whose children will get vaccines
Comment: I appreciate this book because it isn't an anti-vaccine book. This book tells you just the facts and allows you to make a judgment. Also, there is a lot of information within these pages that I had never heard before- and it is all research based. Some of the info is a little dated (2001) so someone reading this shouldn't rely on it as an only source.

Summary: skip this one and get "The Vaccine Book"
Comment: I bought "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations" and Dr. Sear's "Vaccine Book" from Amazon. I was a mom who didn't want to skip vaccinations all together but was very concerned about giving my baby too many chemicals and who knows what else. I had a lot of questions and picked these two books because I thought they'd be the best.

I tried to read "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You" but didn't get too far. It had a hysterical, "beware!!" tone to it, and I felt like I couldn't necessarily trust the author's perspective. It was very quickly apparent that the book is anti-vaccine. It is the perfect book to convince someone on the fence to skip vaccinations (and scare them to death in the process) and the perfect book to reaffirm the beliefs of someone who already thinks all vaccinations are the greater risk. There are little stories throughout the book of babies and children whose poor, hapless parents thought they were doing the right thing getting their kids vaccinated when actually, the vaccinations caused horrible, frightening things to happen. I put this book away because I didn't want to be scared to death of all the horrible things that could happen (but probably wouldn't); I wanted balanced information that would help me make a good decision.

Fortunately, I also had "The Vaccine Book." Dr. Sear's "Vaccine Book" presented the information in an easy-to-read, balanced way that answered my big questions: "Which vaccines does my baby really need, and how should I go about this?" He told me just how great the risks were, what chemicals were in each vaccine, helped me weigh the cost/benefit of each vaccine, and answered all my big questions. I went into my pediatrician's office prepared, knowing what I wanted. Pediatricians don't have time to answer all your questions if you have a lot of concerns, like I did, and this book is perfect for that. I ended up following Dr. Sear's Alternative Vaccination Schedule where you split up the vaccinations and only do the ones really necessary. For parents who don't want to vaccinate at all, he also includes a schedule that will vaccinate babies and kids for only the most dire diseases. This is the "if you avoid all else, at least do these vaccines" schedule. And, of course, there is the recommended schedule included, the one with every vaccine and the time frame recommended by the government. Dr. Sears is cautious but optimistic, informative without using scare tactics. I'm so grateful I have this book.

So, I definitely recommend "The Vaccine Book." It is good for basically all types of parents who care about their kids: the full-steam-ahead, full vaccination parents; the on-the-fence, concerned parents; and the no-thank-you, no-way parents. It provides great information. "The Vaccine Book" is the only book you'll need to make decisions about how to proceed with vaccinations. Also, Dr. Sears has a great blog he keeps updated about vaccines.

Reading this book made me feel confident in Dr. Sears' authority; he felt like a knowledgeable, caring dr. I could trust. I hope this review helps.

Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: After reading this book not only did it help me make a more informative decission on vaccinating my daughter, but has help me understand what could have happened to me and that some of the vaccines that I recieved could have lead to my dyslexica. This book has been very helpful and I would recommend it to every parent.

Summary: A must read
Comment: I have read this book with useful information. I did daycare for 10 years. I saw children that were developing perfectly normally and then they had vaccines, had reactions and were NEVER the same. I chose not to vaccinate my 2 children as a result of what I witnessed in my time in daycare. Although the so called experts say that there is no info proving that vaccines cause autism...there is no info proving that vaccines do not cause autism. The truth is we dont kow for sure. Once the damage is done, there is no going back. I personally could never forgive myself if something were to happen to my children as a result of vaccines. It a matter of whether or not the risks outweigh the benefits. I feel its more of a risk to vaccinate then not to.
