Summary: Extensive bibliography only SEEMS like sound research
Review: My husband and I read this book and were initially impressed by the extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter. This book is painstakingly footnoted to make it easy to track down the primary resources Walene James uses in organizing her argument. However, many of James' arguments are not well supported by her own research. She presents graphs showing that the death rates from many diseases were had already declined by up to 90% before the vaccine for that disease was introduced. Since the vaccine's job is designed to prevent the disease, these statistics are irrelevant. Survival of these diseases has more to do with treatment once the disease has been caught. She also quotes other resources that we didn't think were very credible. All in all, this book raises important points. However, I wouldn't recommend that anyone base their decisions about immunization on it. My husband and I are still searching out better matierial upon which to base our opinion. This book gave us some ideas of where to look and perhaps a few more questions to ask.

Summary: The most comprehensive, empowering book on this topic
Review: This book is not just about vaccinations but about moving beyond the allopathic medical paradigm of disease-scare to embracing dis-ease as a teacher that can assist us in regaining balance and harmony if we will listen and apply natural healing therapies. This is truly a book about raising our consciousness so that we can see that the true enemy is one we have created through our lifestyle and daily choices. If we are to make it into the 21st century, we must work together to educate others and protect such a fundamental freedom as to what we want or do not want to consume or inject into our bodies. Walene James encourages people to start educational, support groups. We have done so and have a very successful group. For more information, contact: Vaccination Liberation, P.O.
