Review: Great read! - I found this book to be invaluable as I made decisions in my pregnancy. I felt confident and informed in the choices I have made.
Review: I got as far as the preface and am returning it. - I couldn’t get past her recommendation of getting the seasonal flu vaccines. If she was truly well researched she’d know just how harmful they are and how much mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde lies in them. Sorry, can’t continue. Gave it 2 stars instead of 1, as I’m assuming there must be at least some truthful information in it.
