Summary: A Visionary!
Comment: This is a fantastic book! I could hardly believe how visionary Dr. Mendesohn was, as many of his warnings are now medical news, such as the overuse of antibiotics, the dangers of vaccines (well, medicine has caught up with him on some vaccines), the benefits of breastfeeding and co-sleeping, and the risks of injury, illness, or death caused by medicines, doctors, and hospitals. Particularly important to me was his assertion that improved living conditions, not vaccines, are the reason for the decline in many communicable diseases. This information made it much easier for me to decide to suspend my children's vaccinations (I have 2 children on the autism spectrum).
I do have 2 (fairly minor) complaints about this book. First, I don't agree with his assessment of discipline and punishment. I don't believe that punishment is necessarily meted out in anger; however, his warnings are excellent for steering parents from that dangerous extreme. Second, I wish that there were an updated version of this book, as some information has changed (ie--DPT has become DTaP) and I would appreciate the views of someone with his medical expertise and belief in the wisdom of parents.
Overall, I recommend this book highly. I refer to my chiropractor's copy frequently for guidance on how (and whether) to treat my baby's occasional fevers and sniffles. (Hmmm, I guess I'll have to get my own copy soon!)

Summary: great book with some old fashioned thoughts
Comment: There are A LOT of facts in this book, wheather you like them or not. This is a great over all book with practical advise you can find in many other places. You do not need to poison your child to make them better. This has great information on how the human body functions as well as how pediatricians function. It also has some older methods and opinions that arn't all based in fact. READ THIS BOOK, and then read a few others and make the call yourself. Thats what parents do, make the best, informed decision for their child!
