Wow! I was about to hit "Enter" on Amazon.
The title sounds enticing.
I'll wait to get it through inter-loan library, then.

Thank you,

There's info on there about donations etc. Considering the amount they must spend on postage to mail these things (mine had $25 in postage affixed to the envelope), I'd say be as generous as you reasonably can.

found it...thanks, japonica! guess i'm going to wait until Christmas to grab the Butler books...i want to wait until i can afford to make a decent donation, and the ILs usually give us cash in our stockings . i used the $$ my ILs gave me for our anniversary on tenpenny's new book, which i'll post about when i've received/read it!

re

Here are the books I am currently working on:

JALP and FOPTA by Butler
The vaccine guide by Neustaedter
Vaccinations: A thoughtful Parents guide by Romm
The vaccine saftey manual by Miller

If you have read any of these, could you please tell us your thoughts on them? What was it you liked about them? What didn't you like? And, can you recommend any other books that are not biased in wether they are pro or anti-vax, but simply give up to date FACTS. Thanks

Hmmm.. I am reading Raising a Vaccine Free Child and I like it.

The problem may be that the vaccinations that were developed and put on the list after 1988 as Hepatitis B, and others would not be in his book.

Good luck.

I plan to get this book for when our wee one arrives

I've read 'Raising a Vaccine Free Child' and only two things really bothered me. First, the author talks about how wonderful vitamin C is--which I fully agree with--but then she turned around and said don't give it to a child with a VPD. But she later talks about how Dr. Klenner used it to cure and treat polio. She just confuses the matter altogether. The second thing I didn't like was her using so much space to push homeopathy. I'm not discounting its possible value, but I didn't buy the book to read about homeopathic remedies.
