Don't Vaccinate! Before You Educate
I recommend a new book titled "Don t Vaccinate! Before You Educate" by Dr. Mayer Eisenstein. He isn't taking a position either way and just encourages parents to research it themselves. Very useful.   I most definitely will not get the vaccination. I also don't believe in getting flu shots, and am seriously in doubt about the necessity of various childhood vaccinations. I realize they may - MAY - prevent some diseases, but I believe children are over-vaccinated and that some vaccinations cause more harm than good. I never knew about this until I heard Dr. Mayer Eisenstein speak at our church this past fall regarding immunization. He's been on Oprah, Phil Donahue, and many other shows, plus he has a local medical radio show here in Chicago. What I liked about him is that he didn't tell everyone his way was right; instead, he presented what he believed could be the truth about vaccinations and very strongly encouraged us to study and research for ourselves. The point he made was that we *do* have a choice where our kids are concerned, and we should research the issue before making a decision to vaccinate children. Perhaps I will end up vaccinating my children; at this point, I am not 100% sure. However, it's nice to have someone encourage people to seek out the studies themselves instead of blindly following medical advice. --Susan R. internet blogWith the increase in the frequency of autism, it is nice to have a medical doctor show the scientific evidence to support my decision to not vaccinate my children. --Gail K. parent
