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. Review: A book for critical thinkers and not for mainstream news and government narrative believers - I am surprised to read even a few negative reviews, anyone accusing the writers of being 'anti vax' has not read the book. Plus they are very naïve to even think this, and very ignorant of facts, probably brainwashed by the mainstream and government narratives. The book is an excellent read and full of common sense and logic and factual information. The term 'anti vax' is often used as a derogatory term in an attempt to discredit anyone who asks serious questions that can't be answered, the critical thinkers and those that don't believe the government narrative. Hint: the government isn't your friend and they don't care about you. Follow the money as always. Review: We never seem to learn from history - This is an extremely well written and well researched book, and is a must-read for anyone considering vaccination, either for themselves or their children. What I found most striking about all the information given in the book, is that the same old lies, misinformation, quasi facts, managed media coverage, blaming of the unvaccinated, vilification of the unvaccinated, etc., etc., is still trotted out today with this so-called Covid pandemic. We are all told that "the jab" is perfectly safe, despite the fact that there is no long term data to show this, then we are told that we need to be double vaccinated, then, lo and behold, we need to be triple vaccinated, yet people who are triple vaccinated are still dying from covid. It is a sad reflection on society as a whole that we are so gullible and so easily frightened, because we cannot think for ourselves. I put it down to sheer laziness, because it is so much easier to let other people, the so-called "experts," do your thinking for you. As usual, to find the truth, you just need to follow the money and find out who benefits financially from all of this. Anyone who thinks we are being looked after by the likes of Bill Gates, et al, out of some philanthropic ideal, is, I'm afraid, sadly misguided. Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition, is the only answer.

What A Rewarding Book
Packed with Excellent Research Results. For example, here is one golden nugget from the book: having greatly benefitted from regular uncooked alkalizing vegetable juice I was pleased to find pages on Dr. Russell and the Gerson Institute etc. Dr. Russell cured 55 out of 55 patients with Fresh Juice and then published a book about this in 1906. With all due respect, has your doctor heard about this yet? Did you know that the Orangutan teach their young how to heal themselves with over a 1000 plants that include many with anti-inflammatory properties (according to a recent documentary), while we, for the greater part, do not? They are just plum old fashioned, and using a primary very effective technique. Facts, followed by results, before opinions, and a great place to start or develop, is this very rewarding book.

Very educational
I have a 5 month old baby which is not vaccinated and because there's a lot of pressure from the GP, community nurse and family I've decided to do my own research. This book is incredible, very accurate, I've learnt so much from it. Also history repeated itself only a few years ago with Covid so that was a big reassurance while reading it

What they don't want you to know about vaccines
Excellent book full of useful references about the history of vaccines. Exposes allopathic medicine and the pharmaceutical industry fallacies, lies and biases from the start to today.

Telling the real truth about the history of vaccines
An excellent book that looks at the history of vaccines and tells the truth about how we are having the wool pulled over our eyes by the vaccine industry and governments. The plain facts which are presented in the book show that deaths from all diseases that Big Pharma claims were reduced as a result of mass vaccination programmes were already dramatically low years before vaccines were introduced. These reductions came about as a result of improved sanitation, hygiene practices, clean water etc. The lies that we are being fed by the vaccine industry are simply scams to sell vaccines. The chapter detailing the subterfuge relating to polio is truly shocking. The book is an easy read for the non-technical reader and should be read by every doctor, nurse and health worker - it may make them realise that their brainwashing in their training about vaccines needs to be radically re-evaluated.

Well-researched and Convincing!
This is a history I didn't know, and I think few of us do. the truth about vaccines has been suppressed and twisted. I think Suzanne Humphries is actually very balanced: she isn't completely anti-vax but as she says the science that proves vaccines are safe just hasn't been done - much more is needed and there are many questions that need to be asked. the history of smallpox vaccines in the 19th century is fascinating and the mass opposition that arose to them, culminating in a huge protest in Leicester in the 1880s (100,000 people which was really a mass event). really worth knowing this history - well written and has all the graphs and footnotes.

Educate yourself on an important subject
A well written eye opening book. What do do you know about vaccines verses your conditioned belief. Before you call someone an Anti vaxxer, with no more than a conditioned belief system, read this book and then you'll think again. A great book.

Great book, very informative, a must read for straightforward, unbiased info
This book is a fantastic look at many of the deadly diseases from the 1800's and on, and how big of a difference sanitation and nutrition made in mortality from those diseases. Dr. Humphreys points out that in med School they learned about the diseases that sanitation etc reduced and eliminated (typhoid, cholera etc) and the disease that sanitation and nutrition reduced but that there was a vaccine for, and how even when nutrition and sanitation played a pivotal role (and vaccines did little or in some cases made things worse) they are still categorized as vaccine defeated illnesses. There is some great information, data charts and a lot of insight. It's a big read but so worth it to get a bigger picture of our infectious diseases & our health, and how many components are ignored because we live in such a clean society compared to the days when refuse & carcasses littered the streets and air & food quality were appalling, along with deplorable working condition (for children especially). We don't think about just how much those details affect our immune systems, and taking the time to realize that a supported immune system does an amazing job against a host of illnesses. This is such important reading for anyone concerned about mandated medical treatment or about whether or not the risk benefit ratio of vaccines is as straightforward as the current (western) medical establishment so glibbly states. Many other countries are more reticent about accepting as many vaccines as quickly, and without as much study and testing, as any other drug... Worth a read for any parent, doctor, or anyone wondering what the deal is with diseases and their history.
