Education is power.

She was married to chiropractor Sam Tocco of Clarkston, Michigan and they have 5 healthy un-vaccinated children. Before having their first child 33 years ago, they had the opportunity to research childhood vaccines. There was enough evidence back then to convince them to not vaccinate their children.  Mary is now the grandmother of 4 un-vaccinated grand babies.

Mary has attended numerous chiropractic seminars as well as vaccine and autism conferences around the country. She began to intensely investigate childhood vaccines in the late 1970's before having their first child, spending thousands of hours collecting and organizing the information.

In 1994, a bill was introduced in Michigan, which threatened to remove the "Philosophical Exemption" to waive vaccines. Mary was very concerned for the families in her state and got involved with Michigan Opposing Mandatory Vaccines (MOM), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the right of parents to waive vaccines if they choose. She was asked to testify before the government health policy committee as to why this bill should not pass. The group successfully stopped the bill from passing and to date; Michigan is one of a few states that still have the philosophical exemption.

That was the beginning of a dedicated, passionate career of educating and reaching out to parents around the country. Mary has been sharing and encouraging parents to be proactive in the health of their family, utilizing natural, holistic and health promoting ideas for raising their children. She had four of her five children born at home with mid-wives, promotes breast feeding, an active healthy lifestyle, supports home education and is a dedicated Christian. She founded the Precious Health Campaign, LLC to help reach parents across America so that they too would have the same opportunity for healthy families.
