   What happened to Judy Converse’s baby and that of several of the reviewers here also happened to mine. My baby was given the hep-B vax at the hospital the day she was born, at ten till midnight, without asking permission and even though I had told her doctor I didn’t want her to get it. The classic time for a reaction beginning is three to five days after the injection, and my baby started screaming Tuesday evening, nearly four days after she got it. She screamed literally all night in my arms, and then continued to scream sixteen to eighteen hours a day, for four days and nights. Her doctor tried to say it was colic. It was not colic; colic doesn’t start until the third week, as a nurse in Converse’s book observes, and does not interfere with feeding. My baby lost one pound two ounces in the first two days of the screaming, because she was in too much pain from the vaccine-induced encephalitis to nurse. On Saturday afternoon she finally stopped the incessant screaming, fed avidly again, grew well, gained back the weight she had lost. She got the DTaP at 2, 4, and 6 months, caught pertussis anyway at 8 months, since it’s an often completely ineffective vaccine for a usually harmless disease (albeit long, alarming, and exhausting). She missed her language milestones (because of the brain damage to the language and social center of her brain from the encephalitis), but had started saying uh for up and uff for dog by the time she was 18 months old. Then she got the DTaP booster and it wiped out her words immediately and completely, and she didn’t say another word until 34 months old. In the meantime, she was diagnosed with autism at 20 months of age, like Judy Converse’s son, and also bowel disease. The GFCF diet really helps with her chronic, severe constipation, but hasn’t seemed to help the language and social problems which are the main signs of her autism. It may be that the brain damage caused by the hep-B vaccine is irreparable. Judy Converse sued in Vaccine Court, but lost. It’s nearly impossible to prevail in Vaccine Court, no matter how good your case is, and you can’t mention the A word, or you’ll lose for sure. The government and Big Pharma are well aware of how many billions they’ll lose when everyone realizes that the autism epidemic is absolutely caused by the vaccines. Judy Converse was invited to speak about her experience before a sub-congressional safety hearing on the hep-B vaccine in May 1999. Michael Belkin, whose baby daughter Lyla was killed by the vaccine, and school nurse Patti White also testified on the manifold dangers of this vaccine. The committee found that it was very dangerous, and absolutely should not be given with thimerosal. Hospitals complied for a few months, but then, reluctant to waste all that money they had paid for the vaccines, started giving it again until it was used up. And so they gave it to my baby a year later, in May 2000, with mercury and without even asking permission. But everyone involved in making and giving vaccines is exempt from lawsuit, because, according to the Supreme Court in Bruesewitz two years ago, vaccines are an \\”unavoidably unsafe\\” product.

   I particularly enjoyed the second half of Converse’s book, with statistics and facts about the devastation caused by the hepatitis-B vaccine. There have been more adverse event reports made to the VAERS caused by this vaccine than by all the other vaccines put together. Children born to healthy mothers are at zero risk of getting the disease, it’s not spread by casual contact, but, like AIDS, by exchange of blood or body fluids. Dr. Sears shows that only 360 children a year were being diagnosed with the disease before 1991, but researchers jacked the number up to 30,000 a year, apparently just to get the vaccine program started. Patti White testified that the vaccine program for newborns started in 1991, and was the cause of the sudden huge increase in autistic kindergartners suddenly entering Missouri schools starting in 1996. As Converse asks, \\”Still want that vaccine for your baby?\\”

   This is a great book, heart-rending in its portrayal of a baby’s violent reaction to a criminal vaccine, and the total loss of the medical personnel to recognize the cause or the nature of Ben’s alarming symptoms. One doctor thought the yucky, mucus-filled diarrhea that filled his diaper many times a day was caused by a chemical in the Pamper’s diaper he was wearing. No doctor would even pay any attention to Judy’s phone calls begging for help, they all just brushed the screaming off as colic, the way our pediatrician brushed off my daughter’s screaming as colic. When they finally rushed Ben to the ER, everyone went into panic mode from his screaming and seizures, and looked accusingly at Converse and her husband, who had been begging for help for weeks. And then they tested the baby for meningitis with several spinal taps. Completely clueless, completely in the dark about the now-common signs of vaccine reaction. And obviously, completely clueless as to how to address the symptoms of autism later. Therapists who accused Judy of spoiling the child, not demanding enough of him, therapists who kicked him out of his therapy groups because of his autistic behavior.

   All expectant parents should read this book. Just remember that many hospitals get bonuses for giving this vaccine. I have a friend who put it in the birth plan of both their daughters that they didn’t want them to get the hep-B vax, but hospital records show both of them got it anyway. (Neither reacted to it, but one reacted later to the H1N1 flu vaccine required by her daycare, and regressed into autism after it.) That means that you should keep your baby in your hospital room at all times, and have a family member keep an eye on them when the mother can’t, to make sure no one gives them the hepatitis-B vaccine.

   I felt as if I were reading the story of my own son while reading this. It all made so much sense. This is a well written and documented book and a must for those interested in finding out more about the vaccine/autism connection. I also recommend \\”Sacred Spark\\” by Rev. Lisa Sykes.

   This book is a very moving account of one woman’s struggle against the health care system and her son’s autism. There is definitely much food for thought here, and hopefully a scientific link between autism and vaccines can be established for the sake of those who have been afflicted. This material is frightening to say the least as autism can easily seem like somone else’s problem and easily ignored, until it happens in your family as it did this woman. I read this book to educate myself on vaccinations as I have a newborn son and am now going through the loops on how best to get my son vaccinated with out overwhelming his body. I have avoided the Hep B vaccination as of this time. For the most part I enjoyed this book and did find it to be extremely informative in certain chapters where Converse expresses her case clearly for not admistering the Hep B vaccination. However, I also found myself skipping over whole sections that I thought to be overly detailed and repetitive about her struggle to get doctors and family members to understand her situation. This book is as much a therpeutic release for the author as it is an attempt to inform the public. Still, I would say that this book is a must read for anyone interested in the Hep B vaccination and its links to autism.

   My son had so many of the problems and symptoms that Judy’s son had early on. Before reading her book, I recognized, on pure instinct only, that the vaccines were harming him, as he became worse and worse after each series. And just like Judy’s doctors, our doctor was dismissive and arrogant which drove me to do my own exhaustive research to heal my son. For those whose children have been similarly harmed and want to stop vaccinating, read Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins by Thomas E. Levy for a better understanding of how to protect against infectious disease.

   Hi all,

   Thank you for reading my book. I am compelled to tell you that the reviewer who said I found coffee problematic must have me confused with someone else. I love coffee and, no, it did not cloud my thinking when I wrote this book.

   Cheers, Judy C.

   Super job explaining the Hep \\”B\\” vaccine and it’s problems.
   The author tells the story that is heart wrenching and accurate.

   I also read a book dealing with Autism and Thimerosal (mercury) poisoning called Mercury: The winged Messenger. If you liked
   When Your Doctor is Wrong, Hepatitis B vaccine and autism, you will be blown away by Mercury: The Winged Messenger. This book deals with the Political side of this tragedy with a stinging
   slap against the Pharmaceutical / Political establishment that in fact poisoned an entire generation of children for increased corporate profits.

   Both books are a must read for every parent dealing with this
   National health crisis.

   I had read 30 different books on Autism and related topics, before I read \\”When Your Doctor is Wrong,…\\”. Her book was a validation of everything that all those other books left out. Finally someone looked at the one shot I knew was our problem Hep B. I got the book in the mail on a Friday, and finished it before going to sleep on Friday night. I felt like our families knew each other in the similarities. You hear so much about the MMR or the DPT, finally Judy gives us a clue to what may be triggering ALL of the others. Or, we may have to look at the possibility that different vaccines cause reactions in different children. For the first time, a book on Autism left nothing out that affected us. I always knew that the Hep B caused my daughters problems but no one else has mentioned it. I cried when I realized that five months of screaming as an infant was \\”NOT\\” colic. Judy’s indignant anger shows through, yet is controlled, reasonable and above all understandable. Despite everything this family endured they also kept a healthy sense of humor. When you hear her story, you can relate to the treatment parents receive when doctors think they are right but you know they are wrong, because our gut instinct as a mother tells us so. Then she gives ideas on how to help your child to recover as best as possible, and the necessity of early diagnosis and intervention to have the greatest affect. This is a great read, like a mystery and adventure, but, it is a true story and on one of the most important topics of our day. Nice to get some validation from not just a parent but a professional in her own right with the knowledge we REALLY need to help our kids. This book helped me make discovery’s and come to grips with my situation, other conditions and situations in my family and a new approach to everything, not just the Autism. Thanks to the author for doing this so well.

   "When Your Doctor is Wrong" is an unbelievable journey through early parenthood following an adverse reaction to the Hepatitis B Vaccine. It tugged at my emotions – I felt angry and incredibly sad at the unfair blow dealt to Judy’s family. It challenged me intellectually – what did I know about the Hepatitis B Vaccine and the epidemiology of Hepatitis B? It inspired me to ask questions and look critically at the issue of vaccine safety. All parents-to-be, all parents and all health care professionals involved in the care of infants should read this book. A book that took incredible determination and courage to write. Congratulations, Judy!

   This book is a must for anyone who feels alone and helpless because they can’t get answers to questions about their child’s developmental problems, for anyone who has been intimidated by health professionals, and for all parents who want to take responsibility for keeping their children safe and healthy! When I have time to pick up the book, it is very hard to put down. It’s well-written, fascinating, and heart-wrenching. I feel very angry at what this family has been subjected to, but I admire Judy for her persistence and devotion to her son.

    This book is absolutely gripping. I couldn’t put it down. Judy recounts the birth and infancy of her baby so vividly, and the trials and determination it took to save her child are epic.
    The cause of her baby’s problems is the vaccination for Hepatitis B, a disease transmitted by needles and sex. Since 1991, US newborns are routinely vaccinated, in this case without the parent’s consent. The number of autistic children has multiplied ten-fold since then.
    Judy clearly explains the complex cascade of biochemical events from vaccine damage, and I came away with a better understanding of how the immune system works.
    This book is well-paced and vividly written, a must-read for anyone interested in vaccinations, autism, or facing the difficulties in life.
