INFORMED VACCINATION

RAISING A VACCINE FREE CHILD - BY Wendy Lydall
www.vaccinefreechild.com

This book provides parents with a comprehensive, scientifically-based guide to the facts, myths, problems and solutions associated with raising a vaccine free child. It helps them protect their children both from the wiles of the vaccine industry and from harmful germs. With 467 references, there are no trendy anti-vaccination myths in this book. Readers will learn that immunization is not the reason for the absence of some infectious diseases, that insidious, long-term side effects are very common, and that there is a media blackout on the topics of vaccine side effects and vaccine failures.

Understanding the difference between childhood illnesses and the other infectious diseases is the key to understanding immunisation. This book advises parents on how to bring children safely through childhood illnesses like measles and whooping cough, and discusses medical and non-medical prevention and treatment of the non-childhood infectious diseases.

The myth that herd immunity exists paves the way for the persecution of non-compliant health-conscious families. The information in this book empowers parents of vaccine free children to withstand the accusation that they are spoiling herd immunity.

A look at the early documents regarding vaccination reveals that it is an unscientific procedure that is based on falsehood, cruelty and supposition.

FOOD ALLERGIES AND FOOD INTOLERANCE - by Jonathan Brostoff, M.D. & Linda Gamlin
Many people suffer from chronic, unexplained health problems - migraine headaches, poor digestion, recurring sinus symptoms, aching muscles and joings, persistent fatigue - whose causes remain elusive, even to doctors. When conventional tests fail to provide a clear cut medical diagnosis, doctors often suggest that these symptoms are due to stress or anxiety but in Food Allergies and Food Intolerance the authors demonstrate that quite often food sensitivity is the true culprit in many of these situations. The authors provide clear explanations of the causes of, as well as the differences between, food allergy and food intolerance with a three stage elimination diet and a system of gradual food introduction. A must for anyone with an unexplained chronic illness.

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS: ARE THEY SAFE? YOU DECIDE - by Laura Ticciate & Robin Ticciate, PhD
This well-intended technology could be potentially dangerous. It's genetic engineering and means genetically altered foods and animals will end up on our dinner tables and may permanently disrupt our ecosystem. In this thought provoking work, the authors educate us on this unpublicized, yet vital issue and urge us to become proactive, aware consumers. Approximately 70 percent of the food most of us eat contains some genetically engineered components. These substances are put in our food without our knowledge and without any real concept of the impact they will have on our health and environment. Learn what genetic engineering is, which foods are genetically engineered, and if they are safe, what the side effects may be and more. Although a technology meant to improve our future, genetic engineering may begin an untold number of disruptions to our health, both individually and globally.
