Summary

One doctor’s surprising answer to the epidemic of autoimmunity and chronic disease. 

Over the past 50 years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded: Currently, one in two-and-a-half American children has an allergy; one in 11 has asthma; one in 13 has severe food allergies; and one in 36 has autism. While some attribute this rise to increased awareness and diagnosis, Thomas Cowan, MD, argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive - approximately 70 vaccine doses by age 18. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we’re now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response. 

Dr. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life; examines the role of fever, the gut, and cellular fluid in immune health; argues that vaccination is an ineffective (and harmful) attempt to shortcut a complex immune response; and asserts that the medical establishment has engaged in an authoritarian argument that robs parents of informed consent. His ultimate question, from the point of view of a doctor who has decades of experience treating countless children, is what we are really doing to children when we vaccinate them.

Brilliant Documentary of the subject

Every modern days. Pharmaceutical Company dogma trained GP should read this .
Humanity has existed and survived for tens of thousands of years without pharmaceutical drugs now the world believes it can’t survive without pharmaceutical drugs . Has persuaded the vast majority that “Mother Nature “ was no a disaster and that we can eat crap , think crap, breath crap , change nothing and a pill for every ill is the answer.
How stupid and lazy we have become . Hopefully this book will light a spark in many peoples minds as to the power of marketing over real health

Excellent well rounded and informative

Fantastic insight into vaccines, links to automatimmunity and non medical ways to combat these disease. Dr. Cowan is a rare voice of reason and truth on this subject who speaks from real life experience and learning. Highly recommended to anyone educating themselves on vaccines for children.

Must read to get a deep understanding of illness

This is a clear and to the point book. Well written and narrated. Thomas Cowan reminds us that we are human and connected to nature and how we have gone off track with medicine.

Excellent

This gave me an incredible insight into the history of vaccines. Along with other books and additional research, everything that was discussed resonates with what I have been researching elsewhere.

No germs necessary

An excellent introduction to medicines and childhood sickness. Tom Cowan gives a great outside the box approach to this book. I am eternally grateful for this, especially when the fuss came out over this virus nonsense.
Highly recommended
