Inspiring and yet Hard to Read December 13, 2009 Marilyn M. Foerster 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book will make you cry, make you laugh, give you HOPE. It is by far Jenny's most serious, wonderful, in-depth book to date. Even if you don't yet "buy into" medical or homeopathic treatments for autism, this will give you something to chew on. Something to go "Hmmmm....maybe if it works for that child, it could work for..." It is a very good read!! Just heartbreaking in parts. You'll love it!
A MUST READ . . . I'm a new fan of Jenny McCarthy! October 4, 2009 M. Clemons (Colorado Springs, CO United States) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Five Stars
A Must Read
If you have a child, plan to have a child or are a new grandparent, this book is a must read. I loved it. Of course I loved it, it reiterates everything I've been saying for years.
Vaccines cause Autism. Stories from the trenches. Stories from real parents who watched their child regress and get worse. Children who were doing well, on schedule, talking, walking and eating are suddenly autistic. Loved this book.
From the introduction:
Like many of you and like some of my colleagues, I'm extremely concerned about what has caused the tremendous increase in autism and related disorders over the past decade. The presumption that doctors are much better at diagnosis is absurd and unscientific. (I know I am not 400 to 800 percent smarter than I was years ago.) The truth is that we ahve to look harder at what happens when we directly and repeatedly inject toxic materials into babies, toddlers and children. The benefits for most healthy children are easily matched or outweighed by the risks of the immunization schedule used by almost all pediatricians. Some of our vaccines have outlived their usefulness in the United States and elsewhere, and other need reformulation to make them safer for those families who want their children to recieve them. Additionally, pediatricians and the medical community at large have to begin listening very closely to parents who know their children better than we do. . .

That said most of it right there in the intro, but the book goes on to detail the stories of actual parents who once believed in the vaccine industry and no longer trust the entire medical establishment based on the guilt they feel from not knowing more about vaccines and accepting that they "should" do what they are told to do.
One chapter is called "Canaries in the Coal Mines" and echoes what many have been saying all along - if our children are this sick and our aging generations are being taken down by ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and more, what does that mean for US as we age and produce children?
It means we're toxic folks. More toxic than in any other time in history. We have decades on decades of toxins in us. We cannot escape it any longer and our children are paying the price.
If you don't believe in the danger of vaccines, this book is a great place to start. If you already know about the danger of vaccines, this book is a great read and will make you cry. If you have a child with autism, this book will provide a portion of hope that your child can get better through DAN! protocols. And no, this is not a sales pitch for DAN!, that just happens to be what has worked for most of the mothers in the book. Diet change, vitamins, supplements and in some cases chelation. Simple things that will not hurt your child, so why not try them!
Loved this book, am a new fan of Jenny McCarthy and still scratch my head at the people who don't see the facts right in front of their face.
Five stars.
A must read.

A book full of knowledge and insight. July 5, 2009 B. E. Packett 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a mother of three kids ages 5, 3, and 7 months. My two older children are autistic. This book has given me soooooo much knowledge. In what test can be run on my children, what DAN doctors are, support goups, parents in my same shoes, how sibblings are important and how modifing diets can help and improve behavior. I have given my copy to several family memeber so they can understand what I am going trough and how they can help in support Autism.
Great Book June 27, 2009 Terry M. Philpot (Florida) I recommend this book to all families with children with Autism. Even families without Autism. We do not have Autism in our family, yet I am very, very concerned. I have been extremely interested in the vaccines and Autism since I was eighteen years old.
I have always shared this with people and they did not get the connection. Finally, they are finally figuring it out!
Thank you for this beautiful, informative book. Maybe we can expose the corrupt drug industry for what it really is and taking the lives of many beautiful children and adults. I am Terry's wife, Darlene. Thank you.
