Hi all, sorry for the delayed response.
Firstly - I also agree with you wholehearedly Mayaness - and personally i find it a little offensive that we are told not to co-sleep with our children. I can't imagine how snooty we must sound to those people from less-developed nations who co-sleep with their babies and children because of culture, and also simply because they cant afford (let alone have access to) the pretty little bassinets and expensive cots that are the norm for us.
The book is NOT anti Co-sleeping.
The book is anti-mainstream medical establishment refusing to accept evidence-based research that strongly links (aka proves) the cause of SIDS (toxicity), whilst simultaneously perpetuating the apparent myth (and deep down in my soul I have always suspected it was a myth) that SIDS has no known cause, and preying apon the fear and concsience of parents in order to continue their multi-million-dollar profitable campaign each year for their groundbreaking 'research'. Where is the $$$ going??!!

We have men (and women!) walking on the moon since the 1970's, and we have sattelites orbiting the planet right now, and yet they expect us to seriously believe that they can't find a cause for why babies keep dying in their beds? Nonsense. These people do not deserve our money for their research that brings forth earth shattering information like - 'sleep babies on their back' hmpfftt. Myself, and (as i have now learned) many others out there do not believe they actually want to find a cause. So long as they can keep this silly charade going they might as well keep making big bucks from a naive and trustful public.
So, I think its time to take the matter into our own hands, and listen to those few individuals (true researchers, I believe) who are working their butts off against a sea of animosity (& money and white-coat power) in order to provide us parents with substantial sense-making information which can truely save lives.

I will be back in a minute to elaborate more- have to get DS lunch!! LOL.
