“Dr. Tom Cowan has created an entertaining, compelling, and readily
accessible book explaining the risks involved in today’s
overaggressive vaccination campaign. I particularly appreciate his
emphasis on the risks to autoimmune disease inherent in antibody
induction through vaccines. This book is a great addition to the
growing body of literature revealing why vaccination is not the
best strategy for protection against infectious
diseases.”—Stephanie Seneff, senior research scientist, MIT
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
“I would like to thank Dr. Tom Cowan for writing this book!
Humanity seems to have forgotten that human body is part of nature;
the further we move away from nature the sicker we become, and it
is our children who pay the heaviest price for what modern
civilization is doing to our environment and our bodies. This book
will make the reader think. I warmly recommend it!”—Dr. Natasha
Campbell-McBride, MD, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome
“Dr. Cowan does a great job explaining in clear and common-sense
terms that the practice and the rationale of vaccination is deeply
flawed, and, astoundingly, is not evidence-based but rather
fear-based. The vaccine paradigm is upheld by the consensus, but
the consensus in not based on a free and unbiased reading of all
the evidence, rather only on a small part of it, while much is
ignored. Dr. Cowan contributes greatly to a much-needed correction
of this misleading and misled consensus.”—Philip Incao, MD,
advisor, Physicians for Informed Consent
“Tom Cowan’s Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature
of Childhood Illness is both brilliant and beautifully simple. He
shares facts not taught in medical school, that reflect ancient
wisdom, common sense, and trust in the intelligence of life itself.
Understanding the role of childhood illnesses such as chickenpox
and measles is critical to our survival as a species. Tom does an
outstanding job of connecting the dots and giving reason to what is
often misunderstood!”—Cilla Whatcott, producer of the film Real
Immunity; author of There is a Choice
“As a pediatrician for thirty-five years, I have seen the enormous
rise in autoimmune diseases like asthma, allergies, eczema, and
autism. We no longer need to scratch our heads wondering why,
because the reasons are clear. In Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the
Changing Nature of Childhood Illness, Dr. Cowan intelligently
educates us on the complicated and beautiful workings of our immune
system, clearly explains how and why its malfunction is harming us,
and elucidates why our precious children are so vulnerable to these
diseases. Most importantly, perhaps, Dr. Cowan charts the clear,
concise path to healing, offering a better, healthier life for us,
our children, and the planet.”—Lindy Woodard, MD, Pediatric
Alternatives
“We westerners must wake up to the fact that vaccination is driving
our modern epidemics of autism, dementia, autoimmunity, and
allergies. In Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature
of Childhood Illness, Dr. Thomas Cowan whistle-blows on Big Pharma
and the medical profession. Quite rightly, too. Human misery aside,
these diseases are debilitatingly expensive. Autism usually results
in care for life. “The arguments Dr. Cowan makes are not only
biologically plausible, but are based in good science. He states
what, for many, is the obvious: we must learn to live within the
laws of nature, not fight against them as if they were some evil
force. Evolution has the answers! We have lived with microorganisms
for millions of years, and many confer significant survival
benefits. Cowan details this with devastating logic. Childhood
infections such as chickenpox and measles are desirable; they
program the immune system in such a way as to protect us from
disease later in life. “This book gives parents the intellectual
ammunition they need to fight back against the pro-vaccine medical
establishment. They clearly need such. I have seen parents driven
by fear into vaccinating their children entirely against their
parental instincts. By not vaccinating, Cowan shows us how children
can be protected from allergy, autoimmunity, attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, asthma, and autism. This book is
essential reading for all concerned with the health of the next
generation.”—Dr. Sarah Myhill, author of Sustainable
Medicine and Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalitis
“Thomas Cowan, MD, is a gifted physician and scientist. He is also
a man of integrity who sticks his neck out for the truth. In
addition he has the talent for making complex and urgent topics
easy to read and understand for the intelligent layperson. He has
accomplished this with his book, Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, the
best book out there on holistically healing cardiovascular
diseases. Now he has done it again with Vaccines,
Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness.
“Vaccination has been a controversial topic for decades with
informed parents around the world having to struggle with
regulatory authorities and doctors over the necessity and
effectiveness of vaccination to prevent childhood diseases. Now Dr.
Cowan comes out with a powerful book giving a clear scientific
voice to the intuition of many parents regarding the dangers of
vaccination. Tamper with our immune system through one-sided
interventions, and pay a tragic price. “This book is a global
wake-up call to defend, against those who would destroy it, the
awesome wisdom of the human body to wage its own battle against the
myriad diseases that seek to overcome our internal defense system.
This book will have a profound, beneficial impact on human health
around the world in the years and decades to come. It is a
courageous and pioneering work worthy of admiration and
support.”—Nicanor Perlas, recipient, Right Livelihood Award
