I have such admiration for Mothering Magazine’s founding editor Peggy O’Mara. For twenty-seven years, her heroic periodical has published articles that have raised the nation’s consciousness on our routine vaccination of infants with compounds that contain mercury. In this month’s issue, O’Mara writes a history of her tireless crusade (well, I’m sure she got tired). She also publishes a thrilling article by Amy Lansky, Ph.D., about how she and her husband turned their son’s autism diagnosis around through dietary changes, homeopathy and osteopathy (a winning combination). Lansky’s book on the subject is called ‘Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy.’
