An accessible and reassuring guide to childhood health and immunity from a pediatrician who's both knowledgeable about the latest scientific research and respectful of a family's risk factors, health history, and concerns

In The Vaccine-Friendly Plan, Paul Thomas, M.D., presents his proven approach to building immunity: a new protocol that limits a child's exposure to aluminum, mercury, and other neurotoxins while building overall good health. Based on the results from his pediatric practice of more than eleven thousand children, as well as data from other credible and scientifically minded medical doctors, Dr. Paul's vaccine-friendly protocol gives readers

- recommendations for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth
- vital information about what to expect at every well child visit from birth through adolescence
- a slower, evidence-based vaccine schedule that calls for only one aluminum-containing shot at a time
- important questions to ask about your child's first few weeks, first years, and beyond
- advice about how to talk to health care providers when you have concerns
- the risks associated with opting out of vaccinations
- a practical approach to common illnesses throughout the school years
- simple tips and tricks for healthy eating and toxin-free living at any age

The Vaccine-Friendly Plan presents a new standard for pediatric care, giving parents peace of mind in raising happy, healthy children.

Praise for The Vaccine-Friendly Plan

"Finally, a book about vaccines that respects parents! If you choose only one book to read on the topic, read The Vaccine-Friendly Plan. This impeccably researched, well-balanced book puts you in the driver's seat and empowers you to make conscientious vaccine decisions for your family."--Peggy O'Mara, editor and publisher, Mothering Magazine

"Sure to appeal to readers of all kinds as a friendly, no-nonsense book that cuts through the rhetoric surrounding vaccines. It offers validation to those who avoid some or all, while offering those who do want to vaccinate help on how to do so safely. This is a great book for anyone with children in their lives."--Natural Mother

"A valuable, science-supported guide to optimizing your child's health while you navigate through complex choices in a toxic, challenging world."--Martha Herbert, M.D., Ph.D., Harvard Medical School

"An impressively researched guide, this important book is essential reading for parents. With clear and practical advice for shielding children from harmful toxins, it will compel us all to think differently about how to protect health."--Jay Gordon, M.D., FAAP

"Rather than a one-size-fits-all vaccine strategy, the authors suggest thoughtful, individualized decisions based on research and collaboration between parents and clinicians--a plan to optimize a child's immune system and minimize any risks."--Elizabeth Mumper, M.D., founder and CEO, The Rimland Center for Integrative Pediatrics

"This well-written and thought-provoking book will encourage parents to think through decisions--such as food choices and the timing of vaccines--that affect the well-being of their children. In a world where children's immune systems are increasingly challenged, this is a timely addition to the literature."--Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Dance of Anger and The Mother Dance

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good read to understand the arguments surrounding a sensitive topic.

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.

Very informative about every single vaccine, neutrally listed the risk and benefits of them all, listed the ingredients of the vaccine, listed the potential side effects, and gave a very objective recommendation of each vaccine. Some people would say he is anti-vaccine but he literally strongly recommends some vaccines in this book. I don't see where the anti is lol.

Just buy this book now if you’re having a baby. Instead of spending hours on the internet and sorting through junk articles, this is a clear and concise answer to all of your questions. It is not an anti-vaccine book. In fact, he actually recommends your child to get some of them. He goes through every vaccine on the schedule and explains what it is, what it protects against, how likely your child is to contract that disease / illness, and ultimately gives his opinion on whether or not your child should get it. This is a very clear and unbiased viewpoint. It’s the most helpful book I’ve read throughout my pregnancy. If you’re looking for no nonsense information regarding vaccines, this book is for you.

This was very informative. My husband and I both work in healthcare but only with adults- we know nothing about pediatrics. This was a good foundation for me to read while expecting our first baby. The hard part now is finding a pediatrician that will see our baby if we decide to follow this delayed vaccination plan; they don’t exist in our area😬…

This is an incredible book! I WISH I had known of it and bought it prior to pregnancy. Otherwise I would have held out on vaccinating my child so much vaccines at once and followed the schedule listed in the book instead. I also would have eaten so much better during pregnancy had I known had bad some foods and medicines are for the unborn child and myself. 10/10 would recommend to anyone to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNBEDINGT lesen. Es geht um die Gesundheit Ihrer Kinder und Enkel.
Reviewed in Germany on July 24, 2023
Verified Purchase
Vorab: Ein passender deutscher Titel für das Buch: "Baby- und kinderfreundliche gesundheitserhaltende Impfempfehlungen". 10 Sterne würde ich gern vergeben. Es geht um nicht mehr und nicht weniger als um gesundes Leben, aber eben auch Leiden und Tod unserer geliebten Kinder und Enkel. Glauben Sie mir, ich dramatisiere nicht - schließlich kenne ich den Autor nicht und habe weder einen direkten noch indirekten materiellen Vorteil von dieser Rezension.

Dieses Buch, leider nicht in Deutsch verfügbar, ist ein Goldstück. Ein Kinderarzt mit 10 eigenen Kindern hat aus seiner langjährigen Praxis heraus ein Buch verfasst, welches ich allen Schwangeren und Eltern mit Babys, Kleinkindern, Kindern und Jugendlichen dringend empfehle.

Dr. Thomas geht für alle Altersstufen auf die Impfempfehlungen der (US-)Regierungsinstitutionen ein, bringt seine eigenen Erfahrungen dazu ein und rät dann zu bestimmten Impfungen, andere hält er für entbehrlich oder sogar schädlich. Viele Impfungen hält er für zu früh verabreicht. Ein wichtiger Punkt, der sich durch das Buch zieht, ist die Thematik der Zusätze in den Impfstoffen, z.B. Quecksilber, Aluminium und Polysorbat 80, die er als potentielle Gefahr insbesondere für Babys sieht.

Völlig neu war mir, einem durchaus an medizinischen Themen interessierten Bürger, das Paracetamol mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit als Auslöser oder Mitauslöser von Autismus in starkem Verdacht steht, gestützt durch Studien. Auch alarmierend, dass Paracetamol, von Schwangeren eingenommen, signifikant mit dem Auftreten von ADHS der Geborenen verknüpft ist.

Zitat aus dem Buch:
„But perhaps most worrisome is a Danish study of more than 64,000 mothers and children published in April 2014 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, which found that use of acetaminophen (but not ibuprofen) during pregnancy was associated with significantly higher risks of attention deficit disorders in their offspring. The more acetaminophen mothers took during pregnancy, the more likely it was that their children would have severe attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity.“

Auf der Webseite der Schmerzklinik Kiel gibt es dazu einen passenden Beitrag; Such-Stichworte sind „Paracetamol ADHS schwanger“. Zitat aus dem Artikel:
„Lebenslange Risiken
Diese neuen Studien belegen abermals, dass die Einnahme von Paracetamol während der Schwangerschaft mit hohen lebenslangen Risiken für das ungeborene Kind einhergeht.“

Offensichtlich arbeiten in dieser Klinik überdurchschnittlich verantwortungsbewusste Ärzte.

Das Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte und das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, zwei vom Steuerzahler finanzierte Behörden, empfehlen Paracetamol auch im Jahr 2020.
Quelle: BULLETIN ZUR ARZNEIMITTELSICHERHEIT
Informationen aus BfArM und PEI, Ausgabe 1 | März 2020
Zitat:
"Therapie mit NSAID und Paracetamol in der Schwangerschaft
…Neben nicht medikamentösen Therapiealternativen zählen in üblicher Dosierung
NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) im ersten und zweiten Trimenon und
Paracetamol in der gesamten Schwangerschaft zu den Arzneimitteln der ersten Wahl."

Die Webseite der Apotheken-Umschau verbreitet das dann, vermutlich ungeprüft.
Im Beitrag „Faktencheck Fiebersenkung“ vom 06.05.2021, ist zu lesen: „Eine Apothekerin und ein Kinderarzt klären auf.
Welche Wirkstoffe eignen sich überhaupt für die Kleinen?
"Paracetamol ist bei Säuglingen das Mittel erster Wahl", sagt Apothekerin XXX (Name vom Rezensenten anonymisiert).“.

Mir fehlen die Worte. Als Nicht-Jurist stellt sich mir die Frage, ob derartige Aussagen das Thema „vorsätzliche oder fahrlässige Körperverletzung“ berühren. Das Buch von Dr. Thomas wurde 2016 veröffentlicht, die dänische Studie 2014!

Schon allein dieses eine Detail aus dem Buch ist den Preis wert. Das Buch beinhaltet nicht nur Impf-Themen, sondern, vielleicht sogar überwiegend, wertvolle Hinweise, wie aus dem Neugeborenen ein gesunder, lebensfroher Erwachsener wird.
Dr. Thomas legt, hier nur ganz knapp erwähnt, folgendes nahe: Muttermilch statt künstlicher Milch, sehr viel Körperkontakt, Liebe und Fürsorge, frische Luft und Bewegung, wenig TV, kein Smartphone.
Er rät stark ab von „Industrie-Nahrungsmitteln“ mit künstlichen Farbstoffen, Konservierungsstoffen und anderen E-Chemikalien. So habe ich u.a. erfahren, dass der Süßstoff Aspartam im Körper in Methanol und Formaldehyd umgewandelt wird – zwei starke Giftstoffe für jeden Körper.

Noch ein Beispiel sei erwähnt: Dr. Thomas spricht sich gegen den Impfstoff Gardasil aus (HPV-Impfstoff gegen Gebärmutterhalskrebs) wegen des aus seiner Sicht ungünstigen Nutzen-Schaden-Verhältnisses. In den USA wurden Sammelklagen gegen den Gardasil-Hersteller, Nebenwirkungen betreffend, eingereicht.

Seine warmherzige, außerordentlich menschenliebende, und, ja, auch selbstkritische Art zu schreiben (und sicher auch zu leben) setzt dem Werk die Krone auf.
