Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History
By: Suzanne Humphries MD , Roman Bystrianyk
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?”
It wasn’t long ago when infections plagued the Western world. Smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, typhoid, diphtheria, whooping cough, and other diseases were once considered a tragic part of life. Starting in the mid-1800s, there was a steady drop in the deaths from all these infectious diseases, decreasing by the mid-1900s to very low levels. The elimination of these diseases is one of the most amazing, yet unsung, public health revolutions in history. That journey from disease cesspool to our modern world is a tale of plagues and famine, crushing poverty and filth, lost cures, individual freedoms versus state might, protests and arrests, and much more.
Dissolving Illusions paints a historic portrait with quotes from the pages of long overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources to reveal a startling history that has been disregarded. With this historic information and originally researched data in the form of myth-shattering graphs, Dissolving Illusions shines new light onto issues that are assumed to be clear-cut and settled long ago.

Firstly establishing the historical record of abysmal sanitation and living conditions at the turn of the century, and secondly reviewing the mortality data from infectious disease in the public record, Dr Suzanne Humphries makes a compelling argument that infectious disease was conquered by improved sanitation and nutrition, and not by vaccination programs which were either ineffective or actually increased the mortality.

In three detailed chapters, we find out how even Edward Jenner’s famous cow-pox virus vaccine in 1798 was never compared by any large intervention trials, and the sources of its principal viral components were almost completely uncontrolled from batch to batch. Instead of protecting the public by imposing standards on vaccine manufacture, the British government imposed increasingly stringent penalties on parents for failure to vaccinate their children, imprisoning parents who refused to pay large fines for noncompliance.

If you have any interest in the vaccination debate – whether pro- or anti- – we strongly recommend that you invest in it immediately. The reason for our enthusiasm is likewise straightforward. Through painstaking research, the authors have unearthed vital, often long-forgotten data that offers vital answers as to whether vaccines are, or have ever been, “One of the greatest achievements of biomedical science and public health”.

The thoroughness of Humphries’s historical research is unlike anything I’ve seen before, a rare book that provides in-depth investigations documenting the medical history related to mass vaccination programs and infectious diseases.

Even if you believe vaccines are safe, Dissolving Illusions should make it crystal clear that they are not necessary. If they are not necessary, why do our children receive more than four dozen by the time they go to school?
