Thanks for the above interesting information.

And VillagesPL, In many states it is NOT the parents' choice to immunize or not immunize their children. Most school districts require the Kindergarten shots before children can start school. The parents who choose to home-school, or refuse to immunize on religious grounds could be the reason why we are seeing so many cases of whooping cough recently?

If there are a lot of school districts that require the shots, it seems there must be a lot of evidence that the shots will do no harm. In that case, people should be happy to get them.

Just my 2 cents, but Drs. Oz & Dr. Mercola seem to be the only doctors out there who actually acknowledge that there is a connection between nutrition and health. Maybe other doctors will begin to pay attention to them?

There are a lot of doctors who acknowledge a connection between nutrition and health. Let's see if I can remember some of them off the top of my head:

1) There's Dr. Sears of the Zone philosophy, although, I don't follow him anymore because he has become preoccupied with selling books and products.

2) T. Colin Campbell Ph.D author of "The China Study". It's an excellent book that covers all aspects of health and nutrition. I highly recommend it.

3) I don't know what's going on with Oz on TV because I don't watch TV., but I have one of his books and I think it's very worthwhile reading.

4) "Beyond The 120 Year Diet" by Roy L. Walford M.D.. He makes a very strong connection between nutrition, health and longevity. I don't agree with everything he wrote but I still consider the book to be highly worthwhile reading.

5) The book, "The Okinawa Program" is the result of a 20+ year population study of the longest lived people in the world. It tells how the Japanese lifestyle, in Okinawa, promotes health and longevity. Most of it has to do with diet.

I could go on and on but you get the idea. There are a lot of good authors who acknowledge a connection between nutrition and health. You just have to look for them. And there are many who don't try to make a business out of selling health products. Once an author goes down that road, as Mercola has done, he/she can no longer afford to tell the complete truth. The truth gets compromised.
