Synopsis
Not too long ago, lethal infections were feared in the Western world. Since that time, many countries have undergone a transformation from disease cesspools to much safer, healthier habitats. Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in deaths from all infectious diseases, decreasing to relatively minor levels by the early 1900s. The history of that transformation involves famine, poverty, filth, lost cures, eugenicist doctrine, individual freedoms versus state might, protests and arrests over vaccine refusal, and much more.Today, we are told that medical interventions increased our lifespan and single-handedly prevented masses of deaths. But is this really true?Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering graphs, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases. If the medical profession could systematically misinterpret and ignore key historical information, the question must be asked, "What else is ignored and misinterpreted today?"Perhaps the best reason to know our history is so that the worst parts are never repeated.

    I always appreciate when a seller cares enough about packaging an order. For one, this order was exactly as described so I appreciate the no misleading. Secondly, the book was packaged in bubble wrap which secured my book even more so that meant a lot! Third, the amount I paid was affordable & God knows how much I wanted this w/o having to pay full price. These books can get pricy. & lastly, I appreciate the fast shipping! All in all, I am 100% content w/ my purchase & I HIGHLY recommend seller!

    Eye opening

    I'm only half way and I can't stop reading. Very eye opening and informative. Really changes your whole perspective on the issue of vaccination. For any one that wants to know more about the history of diseases and way of life and I think every one should read this really. Has a lot of historical references and charts.

    Chock full of valuable information

    I found this book fascinating! The actual data surrounding stats (on social conditions & their influence on diseases etc. vs. vaccination and it’s influence on diseases) is compelling and,if thought out,would make one question the role vaccines have played in eradicating/reducing infectious diseases. No matter where one stands on this controversial issue, this book’s objective presentation -backed by documented historical facts, is an “eye-opener” ;and so,by appreciating the facts, one cannot help but reconsider the import of vaccines on diseases...a must read if one desires a well-rounded view on this subject.

    Essential reading for fact-based people.

    Anyone valuing factual medical and scientific information should buy and read this book! This is history that you have not been told and that presently affects your life. It should be required reading for every medical student and every legislator in every jurisdiction.

    Illusions is really what this book is all about.

    This book will be a real eye opener to most people. It describes the real facts around the vaccination industry for the last 300 years. For sure we have been under the illusion they work but the facts prove they really create more harm than good.

    I wish everyone can read this book!

    Very informative, a must have for vaccine knowledge. I have much respect for Suzanne Humpfries with her message to give us the opportunity to decide what is best for our health.
