The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul's Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health-from Pregnancy Through Your Child's Teen Years Paperback – August 23, 2016

This is not just an anti vaccination book which made it great for both my husband and I. His family is basically no vaccination but without anything to back up what they're saying. My family and myself were not against vaccines. I started questioning them after my 2 year old got shingles a month or two after having the chicken pox vaccine.This book explains which ones a necessary or which ones to wait on or doing a delayed schedule. It talks about a lot of other things as well. Like Tylenol being bad and what to try instead.It's a great book for anyone who is against vaccines or is questioning them and wants more information. It is a very long book but I believe is split up by age. My husband is the one who read it.

I found this book to be incredibly informative and I was able to walk into the pediatric office with knowledge. We have been doing his delayed vaccine schedule and our baby boy has been advanced developmentally at every doctor visit.

I came with an open mind and left with super useful information. It’s important to think for yourself and not allow others who say they are smarter think for you. There is logical sense to consider as well.

One of the best, most informative books on the market about vaccines!

This book was fantastic and easy to read! Dr. Paul does a great job explaining risks and why they’re risky as well as laying g out a thoughtful, easy to follow plan of you choose to do so. Would recommend to any parent!

Although there is an updated version out now- I was so thankful a friend told me about this book before I got pregnant. There is a lot of useful information it it

I recently had the opportunity to read The Vaccine-Friendly Plan by Dr. Paul Thomas, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for me as a parent navigating the complex world of vaccinations. Dr. Paul's approach is refreshing, well-researched, and deeply compassionate, providing an alternative perspective on vaccination that is both informative and empowering.First and foremost, what sets this book apart is its emphasis on personalized, informed decision-making when it comes to vaccines. Dr. Paul acknowledges that every child is unique, with different health needs and susceptibilities, and his approach reflects this understanding. Instead of adopting a one-size-fits-all mentality, he advocates for a customized vaccination plan that takes into account a child's individual health history, family medical history, and risk factors.One of the most compelling aspects of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan is Dr. Paul's thorough exploration of vaccine ingredients and potential side effects. He delves into the science behind vaccines, offering clear explanations of how they work and what risks they may pose. By presenting this information in an accessible manner, he empowers parents to make informed decisions about their child's health, rather than simply relying on blanket recommendations.Dr. Paul provides practical guidance on how to implement a vaccine-friendly approach in partnership with healthcare providers. He offers valuable tips on how to communicate effectively with doctors, advocate for your child's health needs, and navigate the sometimes challenging conversations surrounding vaccination.What I appreciate most about this book is its balanced and evidence-based approach. Dr. Paul doesn't advocate for blanket vaccine refusal; rather, he encourages thoughtful consideration of each vaccine and its potential risks and benefits. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining an open dialogue with healthcare providers and making decisions based on the best available evidence.The Vaccine-Friendly Plan is a must-read for any parent who wants to take a proactive and informed approach to their child's health. Dr. Paul's compassionate guidance, thorough research, and practical advice make this book an invaluable resource for navigating the complex world of vaccinations. I wholeheartedly recommend it to parents who are seeking a well-rounded perspective on this important topic.

The Appendix E of this book really tells you all you need to know:A team of researchers have been reviewing and tabulating the health outcomes 2,230 children over age two and under age seven who were patients at my clinic, Integrative Pediatrics, from June 2008 (which is when my clinic first opened) to February 2015. We are in the process of compiling this data for a retrospective study approved by Western Institutional Review Board. We are examining incidence of autism, developmental delays, hospitalization a, infectious diseases, and sick visits. The following data is preliminary but serves to answer one key question: Does Dr Paul's Vaccine-Friendly Plan help reduce the incidence of autism?Patients were divided into three groups as follows:Group 1: Following Dr Paul's Vaccine-Friendly Plan:These children were either born into my practice of established care by the two month well baby visit. They did not get the birth or the infant hepatitis B vaccine. If they got the hepatitis A vaccine, it was after age two. If they got the MMR and the chicken pox vaccines, it was at or after age three.There were 1,098 children in Group 1.Group 2: Unvaccinated: Because of parental choice, these children had no vaccines.There were 238 children in Group 2.Group 3: Other/Most Vaccinated: Though there was some individual variability, many children in Group 3 were vaccinated according to CDC guidelines.There were 894 children in Group 3.Group Total Autism/ASD Rate1 1,098 0 02 238 0 03 894 15 1/60Using the previous CDC autism rate of one in fifty, we would have expected approximately twenty-two cases of autism in Group 1, but there were no autism or ASD (autism spectrum disorder) diagnoses.We would have expected to have approximately four cases of autism in Group 2, but there were no autism or ASD diagnoses.We would have expected to have approximately seventeen cases of autism in Group 3, and there are fifteen autism/ASD diagnoses, which mirrors the national average. This data demonstrates with a high level of statistical significance that the Vaccine-Friendly Plan - as well as not vaccinating at all - was associated with less autism/ASD.
