Wonderful! "Pediatricians spend most of their time treating parental distress. The child rarely needs treatment but gets it anyway and is subjected to the consequences, and it is the parent who gets the relief."

Same with veterinarians and "dog moms." Ay carumba!

I took my baby to see a pediatrician one time. Got my conscientious objector form and promptly got the hell out of there. I thank God for the innate distrust of doctors I've had since I was young.

The risks of exposure to significant damage in the course of routine medical care are neither remote nor inconsequential. That's why you should assume the dominant role in dealing with your child's health.

-totally agree. Mendelssohn book was a voice of sanity while raising my kids

I read when young, " If you want to live a good life, stay away from doctors, lawyers and judges.

The subtext for me was to take responsibility for my own life and has trained me, over time to engage with surroundings in a more healthy and productive way.

Present company excepted, more people need to learn what to trust, and the products of the dominant institutions ain't it.

I am very thankful for Dr. Mendelsohn- he is one of my HEROS! After the birth of our identical twin sons in 1993, I started getting them the recommended vaXXines. They had 6, including the vaX for the Whooping cough- but then they got a very bad case of the Whooping Cough!

That's when I started doing research and found Dr. Mendelsohn's book:

How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor: One of America's Leading Pediatricians Puts Parents Back in Control of Their Children's Health : Mendelsohn, Robert S.

I stopped giving my sons any more vaXXines and was so grateful my eyes had been opened to the fraud/lies/corruption of the medical cabal!

I wish I had NEVER given them any jabs- but they are now healthy, strong; productive; 30yr old men! I am ANTI-VAX - have never had a flu shot- nor any covid jabs.!

I never got Covid, nor the flu since a child. I am a healthy, strong 67 yr old with no arthritis and who does hard physical labor cleaning houses, gardening, hauling wood, shoveling snow..

I haven't been sick in many decades. I am convinced that vaXXines are pure poison that are at the root of many, many diseases! UnvaXXed children are FAR, FAR Healthier than VAXXED children!

I think I have PTSD just reading this. My four children are grown now, no thanks to our paediatricians. I really wish I had known even a fraction of all this when they were little. On top of all the harms these 'experts' caused me and my children, the gaslighting when I dared question anything (such as the obvious vaccine harm caused to my third child) was the last straw. The irony of ironies is that that particular child is now married - to a paediatrician!

I am a healthy 58.5 yr old Canadian. I don't think I got any vaccinations as a child. I know I survived chicken pox, measles, mumps and was exposed to whooping cough when I helped care for a younger sibling, so obviously I have lifetime natural immunity to those. I got tetanus shots when I started farming around 35 ish, approx. every 10 - 15yrs but that is it. My dr. hardly knows who I am. In fact, he mainly gets notifications when I got to the walk in clinic for strains, stitches or torn meniscus, from the labour of farming, nothing else. I throw out any notifications for tit squishing or poop shoot investigations, as I consider those fear porn propaganda, trying to drum up business. There is nothing wrong for me to go, so I don't. I had a kidney stone a couple of years ago, and I went and sat in emerg from 10am to 9pm. All they did for me was a CT scan at around 4pm which is what broke it up and I finally slept for a bit. They finally notified me by around 9 pm when I notified them I was going home. I now have an ultrasound once yearly to watch for more. Big deal. I'm not worried. Stress causes more illness when it shuts down your immune system. So, my advice is to live life and deal with whatever comes. You are better off without the fear mongering b.s.

In my case it sure did the reverse.

As a child, I dreaded those appointments - I could feel the sinisterism in that man's energy "hypocrite with a smile on his ugly mug".

They had to hold me down as I screamed and fought them as they approached with a syringe. One day, I kicked him under the chin and the syringe flew in the air and I got a glimpse of his hatred - he dropped the mask. By age 9, I realized my mother was writing down the appointment schedule on a wall calendar, I made sure not to show up at home so that these appointments were missed.

I discovered Dr. Mendelsohn 20 years ago, as I prepared to train in Oriental Medicine. I was an instant fan: a man who wasn't afraid to speak truth about his own profession. What a gem. I picked one of his books for the limited library I could move to another country--to read it again--that is how much I treasure him. Thanks for introducing him to your readers.

There are people still alive who worked with him. You probably don't know, but I believe he was working on another book before he died which was never published. Something to do with vaccines...

His book was a my reference for children's ailments 2 decades ago.

Cookie cutter trained. Vaccines, produce Autism, and health issues like chronic earaches that then need tubes. Constant antibiotics become less effective over time.

We were just starting to move away from that. But not all ER docs are well trained, what looks like an earache turns out to be Life-threatening Spinal Meningitis because the right test wasn't run, and babies can't tell you what is wrong, beyond crying and having a temp.

Parents treated their own children once upon a time, for most illnesses. Broke bones, deep cuts that required stitches, needed a general doctor who treated everything/ How did we ever survive all those in composes? We do want to wrap our kids in bubble wrap. Some is warranted like Sex ed beyond their comprehension.

I got kicked out of pediatric offices when my firstborn was a baby because I wouldn’t vaccinate. I lost count of how many. Now I’m grateful -- they all did me a huge favor.

I believe it was a Mendelssohn book that was one of the first books that sent me down the rabbit hole 20 years ago. Praise God! Because my children were spared any vaccine damage because of it. Pediatric offices are where babies go to become lifelong pharmaceutical customers.

I followed Dr. Mendelsohn’s advice to raise my daughter who was born in 1985. She was exposed to everything, and was briefly sick only twice during her school years. Here is my review of this excellent book from May of 2000:

Information in this valuable book still holds true.

“Beyond that, excessive childhood use of prescription drugs may generate the belief that there is "a pill for every ill." This may lead the child to seek chemical solutions to emotional problems later in life.” I was raised by a nurse and was on antibiotics a lot as a kid. I’m always looking for what’s wrong with me, instead of embracing my health! What an absolute scam! And I work in healthcare 😞
