conscientious vaccine decisions for your family.”—Peggy O’Mara,

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

individuals is the way to deliver optimal medical care. In this
book you will learn a new way of thinking about vaccines. Rather

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

comprehensive guide to children’s health that gives you everything
you need to know to keep your children safe and healthy. I’ll be
