Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness - (Duplicate Imported from WooCommerce)

During a decades-long family practices, Dr. Tom Cowan observed that his pediatric patients who weren't vaccinated seemed far healthier than those who were-and that those who were vaccinated seemed to suffer from an increasing number of chronic autoimmune conditions. Rethinking the training he'd received in medical school, Dr. Cowan began to investigate the nature of immunity, research the complex history of infectious disease, and delve into emerging evidence that certain childhood illness can actually protect against diseases later in life. In his compelling new book, Dr. Cowan questions commonly held views of cell biology, illuminates the origins of autoimmunity, and offers a radical new understanding for how vaccines have altered diseased patterns. In doing so he not only issues a challenge to the medical establishment, but also presents a hopeful path forward for the unprecedented number of people- both children and adults- who suffer from chronic disease.
