Finally, a book about vaccines that respects parents! If you choose only one book to read on the topic, read The Vaccine-Friendly Plan. This impeccably researched, well-balanced book puts you in the driver's seat and empowers you to make conscientious vaccine decisions for your family. -Peggy O'Mara, editor and publisher, Mothering Magazine Sure to appeal to readers of all kinds as a friendly, no-nonsense book that cuts through the rhetoric surrounding vaccines. It offers validation to those who avoid some or all, while offering those who do want to vaccinate help on how to do so safely. This is a great book for anyone with children in their lives. -Natural Mother A valuable, science-supported guide to optimizing your child's health while you navigate through complex choices in a toxic, challenging world. -Martha Herbert, M.D., Ph.D., Harvard Medical School An impressively researched guide, this important book is essential reading for parents. With clear and practical advice for shielding children from harmful toxins, it will compel us all to think differently about how to protect health. -Jay Gordon, M.D., FAAP Personalized health care based on the needs and vulnerabilities of individuals is the way to deliver optimal medical care. In this book you will learn a new way of thinking about vaccines. Rather than a one-size-fits-all vaccine strategy, the authors suggest thoughtful, individualized decisions based on research and collaboration between parents and clinicians-a plan to optimize a child's immune system and minimize any risks. -Elizabeth Mumper, M.D., founder and CEO, The Rimland Center for Integrative Pediatrics This well-written and thought-provoking book will encourage parents to think through decisions-such as food choices and the timing of vaccines-that affect the well-being of their children. In a world where children's immune systems are increasingly challenged, this is a timely addition to the literature. -Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Dance of Anger and The Mother Dance The Vaccine-Friendly Plan is a treasure trove of scientific facts mixed with common sense. Paul Thomas, M.D. and Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D., encourage parents to follow their instincts, to do their own research as it pertains to their family's health, and to rethink what is true healthcare. Likewise, they challenge doctors to step it up to look further into the latest research that impacts the health of their youngest patients. -Mary Romaniec, author of Victory over Autism: Practical Steps and Wisdom toward Recovery for the Whole Family Impressive and compelling. Whether you're trying to conceive or already parenting teens, you need to read The Vaccine-Friendly Plan. It's about so much more than just vaccines-this book is a comprehensive guide to children's health that gives you everything you need to know to keep your children safe and healthy. I'll be recommending it far and wide. -Lyn Redwood, R.N. co-founder of the Coalition for SafeMinds
