Description
Over the past 50 years, rates of chronic illness and allergies in children have surged. Instead of blaming genetics or increased awareness and diagnosis, author Thomas Cowan attributes these rising numbers to our current vaccination policy. Cowan combines his medical experience with research into the history and science of vaccines to show how childhood illnesses are now eschewed by conventional medicine in favor of an increasing array of vaccinations that may do more harm than good. He questions commonly held views of cell biology, the role of water in the body, and the spatial and spiritual components of autism, while also providing hope for recovery through a nontoxic course of treatment. Cowan's thought-provoking exploration takes us on a journey into the history of illness, examining the origins of diseases such as polio.
