Raising A Vaccine Free Child Paperback – July 28, 2009

I have read Wendy's book many times since I bought it two years ago, and, like all excellent books, something incredibly interesting and new strikes me every time. My daughter was vaccine-damaged by the hep-B given to her at midnight her first day of life, without asking permission. She reacted with four days and nights of endless screaming, vaccine-induced encephalitis, and was later diagnosed with autism. I was very interested in the section in this book in which Wendy talks about the many babies reacting and dying at the hospital shortly after getting this vaccine, so many that nurses were instructed to carry an Epipen with them at all times to try to counteract the many immediate anaphylactic reactions they were seeing to this criminal vaccine, given to newborns born to healthy mothers only to make money (money-spinning as she puts it).I enjoyed the first part of the book in which she talks about commonsense care for children with the formerly universal childhood diseases like measles, mumps, chickenpox, and pertussis. My daughter (who had gotten the DTaP at 2, 4, and 6 months) got pertussis at eight months and gave it to me. So she has had pertussis and chickenpox, and I have had measles (at six), chickenpox, pertussis, hep A, rotavirus, and we have both had many flus. And we had the normal kind which the vast, vast majority of people have, unpleasant but not dangerous. I agree with her that it's much better for children to just get the natural diseases and strengthen their immune system, than to be damaged for life by vaccines. (I have MS from a brachioplexal reaction to a tetanus vaccine at nineteen, and my daughter has autism.)The second half of the book is even more fun, with many articles, with meticulous documentation from old sources, on many aspects of vaccines (all to the detriment of vaccines). I did not know before reading this book that the smallpox vaccine itself caused many thousands of cases of death from anapylaxis, syphilis transmitted by it, gangrene, and vaccine-site sarcomas, as well as permanent withering of the injected limb. Hundreds of thousands of people rioted in the streets of many cities protesting their governments mandatory vaccination policies. There were epidemics of smallpox for the first time all across Europe, with hundres of thousands dying, although 98-99% of those affected and dying had been appropriately vaccinated. I had no idea.Chapters about the fight between French and German researchers as to whether antibodies or macrophages were primarily responsible for protection against diseases, the supporting evidence for each, the winning of antibodies on political rather than scientific grounds. The fact that many people have disease protection even though they were born with an inability to produce antibodies, their protection is due to other factors. That even high antibody levels don't always mean protection. A creepy chapter about Louis Pasteur, his lies, his conceit, self-promotion, horrifyingly cruel experiments on animals. A study by Muslim doctors in Bangladesh (?), proving that tetanus patients treated with intravenous vitamin C plus standard treatment had a MUCH-higher survival rate than those treated only with standard therapy. So why is vitamin-C therapy not standard treatment for tetanus? Another instance of vaccine politics totally trumping effective treatment of the sick. Every chapter was on a fascinating topic I had never known about before, every statement bolstered with citations of studies or scientific articles. I have no idea how she was able to carry out such demanding research, or even realize which directions of inquiry would pay off with such stunning dividends.She is a staunch believer in the value of homeopathy (I am too), and I made a list of the remedies she mentioned as being effective in the treatment of many diseases, from tetanus to typhoid and polio. I was very interested in what she said about Sister Kenney's therapeutic, often successful treatment of polio, again, pushed into the background in order to make vaccines the ONLY answer. I didn't know that avoiding the consumption of sugar caused the rate of polio in an epidemic to plummet to close to zero in a South Carolina community around 1950.This is one of the very best books which has ever been written about vaccines, and I highly recommend it! And it's like tilting your head back and looking at the stars, you realize that you have been directed by mainstream media and the medical cartel to consider only what they want you to consider, when there are myriad interesting and true phenomena out there to be considered before making decisions, if only you knew they were there.

Wendy Lydall's book, Raising a Vaccine Free Child is my favorite amoung several that I have on the subject. I like the way it is written and organized and could not live without the vital information on fevers and how to specifically care for a child with any of the classical childhood illnesses, especially measels, that I haven't found any where else. This book is like my medical bible and I keep it by my bedside referencing it constantly. I even bought a couple extra copies and gave them away to friends I love it so much. I love the confidence it has given me to be able to reference to people specific cases of various viral outbreaks that did not follow the "rules". (i.e. outbreaks of an illness in 100% vax'd communities or how herd immunity is a total myth and just doesn't work) Most people don't know that facts about vaccination but love to tell you how much your hurting your child and the world by choosing not to vaccinate. It's Wendy's book that has armed me with the ammunition I need to fire back the facts to these people. It's amazing how the most critical of people really know nothing about it. The best decision I ever made was to not vaccinate my child. At 2 1/2 she is the healthiest, brightest child. I thank God, every day, for people like Wendy, willing to spend years doing the proper research to arm me with the tools and facts I needed to make the most important decision of my life thus far. There is nothing on this earth more important to me than my daughters health and I'm so glad I chose not to vaccinate. Given what I now know, there really is no other answer. If you're looking for a complete resource on the subject get this book! Highly recommended!

This book is an extraordinary wealth of information and an excellent reference manual for any health conscious parent seeking real healthcare advice for any number of childhood illnesses. It is also so thoroughly referenced that the list of citations and bibliography at the back is its own valuable resource for further research and study. I saw one bizarre review which refers to this seminal work as "unproven claptrap," a description which can only be applied to the review itself. Anyone who actually reads this book is astonished at just how much evidence the author has compiled and included. This book was one of the first complete guides for parents who seek to avoid the drug-based model of medicine. It has paved the way for a new generation of books which provide a comprehensive and actual history of disease and the vaccination programs which the pharmaceutical industry has promoted and pushed for the last century. It also provides a clear picture of the way in which the industry has distorted our understanding of disease and approach to health, and the author re-educates us and arms us with the knowledge to maintain true health for our children and for ourselves. I look forward to the new version I hear will be released shortly.

Every parent that has done all the exhaustive informed research of choosing not to vaccinate their children will be confronted with how best to protect their children from infectious disease. I really liked this book for many reasons. It describes symptoms very well and what to do with fevers and ways to support the child through the illness to avoid complications. I have finally put together my action plan should my child catch measles either the classical wild or the vaccine strain that was shed by the vaccinated child. While the book doesn't stress the value of nutritional therapies I will be absolutely making sure my child has optimal Vit A, Vit D and loads of high dose homemade food grade liposomal Vit C (no corn and no soy). My family is already FREE of processed, GMO and Gluten. We know how much they were compromising our health and how much we have improved by removing these toxic/inflammatory foods from the diet. Thank you Wendy Lydall for this excellent parent resource guide for parents like me...blessings to your family always!

I have read this book from cover to cover and would recomment it to any pregnant mum or mum in general who has some concerns about the harmful effects of vaccinations on a baby. I purchased this book after being told by my NHS midwife to have a whooping cough vaccination at 28 weeks of pregnancy to 'protect' my newborn from whooping cough in the first 2 months of life.The book explains the myths associated with vaccinations and explains the alternatives available to parents who do not wish to vaccinate their children. It is shocking to know that many people can be blissfully unaware of the harmful effects of preservatives added to vaccines (alluminium, mercury etc) on the brain of a newborn baby. I have been interested in this topic for sometime now and have read a number of articles about added preservatives (nurotoxins), human DNA (from aborted tissues) and animal DNA in vaccines, which are mutogenic. This book has confirmed my concerns.I have also learnt that GPs get bonuses from pharma companies for achieveing a high vaccination uptake in their surgeries (which I didnt know about), and do not report any side effects asscociated with vaccination, which was also confirmed by other research I have done on this topic from other sources such as (...). Luckily, in the UK we still have parental choice not like in the US where vaccination is mandatory. My niece has a vaccine damaged child after MMR vaccination and he has now been diagnosed with autism. So, before you allow medical staff to inject your child with any vaccine please do your research first and check the ingredient list of each vaccine to learn whats added to preseve them before you make a decision to inject your child with this poisonous stuff.

Most people believe that vaccination prevents disease, and to be told anything contrary to this is like trying to convince people today that the earth is flat. But there was a time when suggesting that the earth was round or that the sun rotated around the earth or that Vitamin C would prevent rickets, was met with ridicule and derision - and could even result in imprisonment or death for the proponent of such ideas. Similarly, I strongly believe that the day will come when just the thought of bypassing the body's first defence systems, such as the skin and membranes, by injecting live viruses and toxic excipients directly into the blood stream, will evoke the same reaction. This book, and many others like it, is essential reading for all loving parents. Do your research.

good guide, great reading (although like all book formats, way too long! has chapters to dive into on how to treat a sick child)we are now sure than ever not to vaccinate!!we were recommended by 2 friends.author from south Africa and moved to Australasia, has plenty of life experiences and has kept in touch with medical updates.I am from a biological study background, so the book makes sense.

I bought this for a friend and will be buying myself a copy as I believe it to be a great reference to childhood illness's keeping you up to date with what they call them these days and what vaccines they want to give our children and why will should avoid them

i can just warmly recommend this amazing book. all my gratitude to this brave woman who shares those precious informations to parents like me that struggle with the decision of vaccinating or not their children. now i have no fear anymore of harming my baby rainsing her up vaccinefree. the book is fully referenced, easy to read and understand. lots of cases, informations and useful tipps. a must read for all parents!!!
