Healing the New Childhood Epidemics - The Four A's
Customer Rating: 
This is an excellent book, full of hope and practical steps to actually CURE the 4 A's of asthma, autism, allergies, and ADHD. One of the things that immediately pleased me about the book is that Dr. Bock doesn't waste the readers's time with assigning blame, but instead gets right to the point. I think that most people who would pick up this book already know about the correlation between vaccinations and the 4 A's, so we'll take that as a given.
The case studies Dr. Bock uses as examples are moving, but not tear-jerkers, and his narrative of his growth as an epidemiologist and development of his treatments is very interesting. He is very gracious in sharing the credit for the amazing breakthroughs he and other members of the DAN have achieved.
The book is so useful and clearly written that I bought a copy for my kids' pediatrician, my La Leche League library, myself, and 2 for my lending library (I'm a Bradley Method birthing instructor). I've reccomended it to several people whose children suffer from these illnesses. It is such an uplifting book, detailing real successes in treating children, rather than the typical disheartened medical shrug of the shoulders that can offer nothing to cure these children.
Even if you don't know anyone with any of the 4 A's, you'd enjoy reading this book. Even if you're not a parent, you should read it. Even if you're not trained as a scientist, you can understand it. Buy an extra copy and give it to your library or pediatrician. People need to know there's actually hope for autistic, asthmatic, allergic or ADHD kids!
