Holistic Moms Network Review

"Sorting out all the information about vaccinations that is out there today can be daunting for any parent. Dr. Lauren Feder's concise book is straightforward, to the point, and well-balanced. With both allopathic and holistic medicial training, Dr. Feder provides a wealth of knowledge and perspective in her quick book, addressing both the "pro" and "anti" vaccination viewpoints throughout. She breaks these viewpoints down in response to fundamental statements we often hear about vaccines, such as "The benefits of vaccines outweight the risk" and "Mercury toxicity is no longer an issue". She offers a detailed table of vaccine ingredients as well as a comprehensive chapter on the recommended vaccination schedule and a thoughtful discussion of each vaccine, the disease it was created to prevent, the symptoms, complications, incidence, and treatment of each illness, as well as information about the vaccination and its risks. Her "Alternatives to the Standard Vaccine Schedule" chapter discusses selective shots, exemptions, and homeopathic alternatives and her resource section guides parents to more information and organizations of interest. This is an essential, no-nonense guide that parents should embrace on their quest to be informed, no matter what choices they make for their own families."
