      1 out of 5 stars Dangerous Book.......2006-02-01

      What is wrong with people? Why do you think there is some conspiracy to hurt children with immunizations?

      The development of vaccines is the most important invention in the history of medicine. They have saved millions of lives - that is a fact.

      There is always risk to any medical treatment - but parents who do not vaccinate their children are putting their children at risk for serious medical problems. Please do not put your trust in one or two people on the fringes of medicine who lack even a basic education in medicine. Why would you listen to such counsel? I truly do not understand...

      When your car breaks down, do you take it to the grocery story? When your pipes get clogged, do you call your banker?
      When your child is sick, do you take him to a political historian? I certainly hope not.

      The author of this book has no medical education other than medical history. It was written with a political bent.

      If you live near an old cemetery, just take a stroll sometime and look at the dates on the old headstones from the 1800's and you will get a first-hand look at the pre-vaccine era.

      And if you decide not vaccinate your children, never let them leave the United States -- at least they benefit from herd immunity here.

      5 out of 5 stars BE SMART-DONT VACCINATE.......2005-10-26

      I read this book after I had already planned on not vaccinating. It still was a blessing. It has some heart wrenching stories about real families who were damaged by something that doctors say(really lie about) will protect you. My son had an adverse reaction to a vaccination. The doctors are either mis-informed or LIARS!!! Greedy for gain and they could care less about you. But I as a human being, who knows nothing about you is giving you advise: READ THIS BOOK AND OTHERS, DONT BE A FOLLOWER, YOUR CHILDRENS LIVES DEPEND ON IT, YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS ONE DAY, DONT EVER VACCINATE!!!!

      A MUST READ BOOK-YOU WILL BE GLAD THAT YOU DID.
      VERY WELL DOCUMENTED

      5 out of 5 stars Shame on Amazon.com!!!.......2005-08-23

      Shame on Amazon.com for including a link to a sanofi-pasteur ADVERTISEMENT for DPT vaccine in this book's listing information!
      I am appalled that Amazon is so hard up for cash they must resort to taking blood-money from the corporations responsible for our children's nightmare. While we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars attempting to reverse the damage done to our children by this and other pharmaceutical companies, Amazon helps them to blow smoke to other unsuspecting parents and lull them into ignorant complacency regarding "government-recommended vaccinations". There is only ONE thing driving the govt's vaccination schedule, and that is MONEY.
      And now these same companies add insult to injury (literally) by getting congress to pass laws to prevent them from owning up to their complicity in the damage done to our children?
      Enough! Enough being a nation of sheep, all jumping off a cliff one after the other.
      READ THIS BOOK and take it to heart! Your legislators (with few notable exceptions) don't care about your children, only their own deep pockets.
      *Educate before you vaccinate*
      *Your child...Your choice*
      The message in this book (and others like it) NEEDS to be made common knowledge; the sooner the better for the health of America's children.

      5 out of 5 stars Parents or parents to be must read this!!.......2004-11-23

      This book as well as the Sanctity Of Human Blood by Tim O'Shea were huge eye openers for my husband and I, in the area of vaccinations. We feel every parent needs to be informed on this subject. A Shot In The Dark goes into debth on the DTP vaccine and mainly focuses on the pertussis vaccine. The book will make you cry to hear the hundreds of stories of Pertussis vaccine damaged children and their families. There are thousands of children that are damaged by the pertussis vaccine each year and must of those cases are not even reported or noted. This book talks about reactions to the vaccine, the doctors who are must of the time unwilling to admit when a child has suffered a vaccine reaction and has permanent damage. It talks about the different forms of damage and how to recognize them. It talks about the vaccine manufacturers and the lack of testing done for safety on the pertussis vaccine. This book covers the tests and information that individules and some doctors have done that is for the must part covered up by manufacturers, laboratories, and doctors that don't want the truth out. Even though this book is over 10 years old the information is still true for today as nothing much has changed in administering the pertussis vaccine. Parents are still not told that a child can suffer convulations, seizures, collapse, SIDS, and learning disabilities to name a few. My children are not vaccinated. All three are in excellent health and have never had ear infections or any other health problems in which I had to give them any drug or antibotic. Please read this book, your childs future as well as yours may depend on it.

      5 out of 5 stars Still Relevant in DTaP age.......2004-10-19

      I heard about this book soon after my daughter had a vaccine reaction in 2002. I figured the contents might not apply to me since my child got the DTaP vaccine (with acellular pertussis) instead of the no-longer-in-use DTP with whole cell pertussis. I finally decided to read it in late 2004.

      I couldn't believe how very relevant and applicable the book is to my situation in 2004. Yes, this book IS STILL VERY RELEVANT in a world where DTP has been replaced by DTaP.

      How is it still relevant?

      In my case, my child had inconsolable high pitched screaming for 6 hours straight after her 4 mo. shots. As explained in the book, high pitched screaming is a known and well-documented adverse effect of the whole-cell pertussis component of DTP. My child did not get DTP but instead got "the safer" DTaP, and yet this reaction still occurred. There were also longer term side effects that this book would categorize as neurological. My infant stopped making eye contact for over a week, and my previously vocal and communicative infant stopped cooing for nearly 4 weeks!! How I prayed every day God would give me my baby back!

      When I reported the longer term side effects to my doctor, she dismissed it as "anecdotal" suggesting there is nothing in the data to support that a lack of eye contact or loss of cooing could be caused by any vaccine. I couldn't believe the disrespect and disregard for my report of the facts of what had occurred. This book offered some relief and support in this regard because I know now that I am not alone. And this is unfortunate. Other parents of children who have vaccine reactions are treated similarly by their pediatricians.

      I concur with asking the question posed by the author, exactly when did the medical community switch from listening carefully to reports of symptoms from parents and patients and begin to listen only to published reports from controlled studies - most of which are funded by organizations with a conflict of interest? Something is very wrong with a system that denies and dismisses the valid reports of concerned parents who have witnessed changes in their child post-vaccination.

      In my case, prior to reading all I could get my hands on about vaccines, I was ready to agree with the doctor that my daughter should continue with all other vaccines eliminating only the pertussis vaccine. Then, just before the next round of shots were given, a last minute record review indicated that the leg that had swollen up like a goose egg was not even the leg where the DTaP was administered!! Polio and Hib went into that leg!!

      So what a quandry for this parent, indeed! Which toxin caused the swollen leg? Which toxin/vaccine/component caused the loss of eye contact? Which caused the cessation of verbal cooing and the ongoing restlessness and the changes in sleep patterns? Was it acellular pertussis? Or was it diptheria, tetanus, hib, or polio? Or could it have been some ingredient in the vaccines, a preservative or adjuvant material? Could it have been carryover materials from the human fetal cells or animal cells used in manufacturing? No one will ever know. Nor will answers ever come as long as the medical community continues to deny that vaccine reactions occur.

      The last sentence of the book reads, "The time has come to become educated about vaccines."

      I completely agree with the author on this point and think others will too after reading this book and others on the topic of vaccine safety.

              This is a 2 hour (approx) recording of a seminar given by Herb Cohen, conducted in a live setting. It repeats quite a bit of the material given in Herb's earlier audio books, some of which are not in print. It also adds some additional information, and presents some of the original information in a different style. For the student of negotiation, this is an excellent resource to help explain how Herb Cohen, who is an adviser to U.S. Presidents and corporate America, manages to keep on top of his game.

              5 out of 5 stars ISO9001 Implementation Guide.......2006-09-21

              We are a small LLC corporation, a medical device testing lab, and have found Mr. Tricker's book to be quite straightforward and helpful. The detailed examples and sample QMS it provides helped us immensely and enabled us to implement our own QMS in-house, saving us a great deal of expense and time.
              Relatively easy reading and not as opaque and intimidating as some other sources I've seen.
              Thanks, Ray!

              4 out of 5 stars Good Reading.......2005-02-04

              The book ISO 9001: 2000 for Small Businesses, is excellent reading. It is very helpful for smaller organizations trying to implement ISO, I am in the process of doing the same. However I think the author does not give enough emphasis on the flexibility of the new standard, neither give clues on how implementing the standard is going to help the organization function better. The Sample quality manual is helpful, I would not go as far as using it as a template and customizing it, because it will effectively translate into tricking your own self (The standard was envisioned to help give companies a tool to work better, and is very flexible/generic to help tailor it to ones own needs). But it is an excellent starting point for novice implementers of any QMS, to understand what a QMS looks like when its ready. The documentation is brief and covers most of the clauses in a structured manner. All things considered I think the book is good quality :)

              4 out of 5 stars Accessible to the novice and easy to read........2004-10-30

              My organization has decided to become ISO 9001:2000 compliant. This is of course a necessity for a midsized consultancy that is growing by leaps and bounds. Having read two books before this one I can say that this book is accessible to novices and provides the necessary direction.

              In addition to the accessibility, this book is a must read for those businesses that are not large corporations with a QMS of some sort already in place.

              1 out of 5 stars Not all that it says it is.......2003-11-01

              Much of the book's explanation of the standard is pretty much a repetition of the words stated in the standard itself so it doesn't add much value and can be quite confusing at times.

              The author also fails to explain some very important points of the standard. One example are the clauses on product "verification" and product "validation". These two terms have very different meanings in the standard. The book fails to explain their differences as well as their exact purpose.

              I also noticed a number of typos in the text. There is a section in one of the later chapters of the book that, I believe, was not updated because it still used the word "Supplier" when it meant "Organization".

              As for the free quality manual, I would not recommend using it. It does not apply for small businesses and the structure is not that comprehendible. The scary part about this is that the author went as far as saying the reader can immediately use the free quality manual by just replacing the sample company name with the reader's own! That sounds a lot like a get-rich-overnight scheme. It never works. You'll have satisfied ISO 9001:2000's requirement to document your procedures, but as for its requirement to implement and maintain it...I highly doubt that's going to happen if you use the sample manual as is.

              I'd go for ISO 9001:2000 explained (second edition). Apart from the fact that the authors were members of the group who actually made the standard, the text is very clear and easily understood.

              5 out of 5 stars User-friendly intro to ISO.......2003-08-30

              After the canonical brief history of ISO and where ISO 9000 came from, Mr. Tricker walks the reader through the standard. He gives a friendly treatment to material that is often presented, at least in other books I've read, in a pedantic way. The book introduces the clauses in the standard's order, then explains them, in a conversational, accessible tone.
              The book also includes a quality manual, sample procedures and work instructions. I can only speak for myself, but this is what got the standard to "click" for me. Reading the ISO clauses and interpretations was fine, but when it came time to write my own manual, I found myself floundering. Seeing how Mr. Tricker applied the standard for his own consultancy was invaluable. The manual, procedures and work instructions were all in one section, and not dispersed throughout the book as examples, which added to the book's utility. A great reference book

              1 out of 5 stars Not for the novice or the expert .......2006-03-23

              I was disappointed. If you don't know ISO 9001 this book will not help you much. If you know ISO 9001 you probably don't need this book. This expensive, slim volume was not very usefull for me. I got some information but not a clear overview of ISO 9001. I was looking for something like "ISO for Dummies". Limited scope, not very complete.

              4 out of 5 stars Great Book for the Small Company.......2005-03-20

              I have successfully used this book at 2 companies as a guide to implement quality systems compliant with and registered to ISO 9001-2000. I just started with company #3. If you have less than 100 employees, this book is for you.

              "Herb Monnich has given the small to medium business manager a one-stop shop for implementing ISO 9001-2000, whether they are just beginning the ISO certification process or evolving to the new standard. This book will help business owners/managers save thousands of dollars in unnecessary time-consuming analysis and procedures."
