Any and all advertisements you might see on this website are 100% uncompensated recommendations. I like Sinupret because it looks clean, is well-tested and I think it works. I recommend Erbaorganics because they're very clear about the percentage of organic ingredients in each of their products. At one time, I received some free samples from these two companies. I no longer do. If you buy my DVD, I think I get about fifty cents. Unless you choose to buy thousands and thousands of my books, I'll never see one penny in royalties. Jay

Rotavirus Vaccine
Q. “What do you think of the new vaccine against rotavirus diarrhea?”

A. I am more than happy to go against the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatric and any other official body:  This is a very new vaccine.  In spite of “the largest vaccine testing ever” I would still like to see this vaccine in use for a few years before recommending it.
 
This is a vaccine against a very nasty viral diarrhea which kills hundreds of thousands of children in the Third World.  
 
While there are some dozens of reported fatalities from rotavirus in the U.S. each year, I do not recommend this vaccine to anyone.  I have far too strong a recollection of the last time we tried this and ended up with fatal cases of intestinal obstruction in some infants who had received the old rotavirus vaccine.  Let’s wait at least a year or two and see.
