Picture this: in a world polarized by vaccine choices, what if skipping shots led to surprisingly positive health outcomes? That's the intriguing question at the heart of Françoise Berthoud's compelling book, ...E come stanno i bimbi non vaccinati? As a retired Swiss pediatrician and homeopath, Berthoud brings her lifetime of patient observations to life, backed by international studies.
Parents today face endless info on childhood vaccines—pros, cons, and everything in between. Berthoud flips the script by focusing on unvaccinated kids. Research she reviews, from various countries, consistently shows lower rates of asthma, other allergies, and behavioral issues in these children versus vaccinated controls. It's not just numbers; it's patterns from her own practice where unvaccinated little ones seemed more resilient.
Beyond avoiding vaccines, the book uncovers common threads in non-vaccinating families: gentle complementary therapies that honor symptoms, unconventional education approaches, and often vegetarian or vegan diets. These aren't wild theories—they're observed correlations that foster overall wellness. Berthoud champions natural methods to bolster kids' immunity, always stressing open doctor-parent talks for informed decisions.
