| Professional Review: |
| In the midst of a worldwide epidemic of autism, ADD, and ADHD, this book is a message of hope to parents embarking on the challenging journey of finding proper medical care for their Autism Spectrum Disorder children. Genetic susceptibility activated by "triggers" such as pesticides and heavy metals in vaccines can lead to immune system impairment, gut dysfunction, and pathogen invasion such as yeast and viruses in many children. This is the first book written by an experienced clinician that gives a step-by-step treatment guide for parents and doctors based on the understanding that ASD is a complex biomedical illness resulting in significant brain malnutrition. Dr. McCandless, whose grandchild with autism has inspired her "broad spectrum approach," describes important diagnostic tools needed to select appropriate treatment programs. Her book explains major therapies newly available and identifies safe and effective options for parents and physicians working together to improve the health of these special children. |

 Written on September 16, 2008 Summary: Really helpful book! I have read a lot of books about autism. This one has been by far the most helpful one! Written on September 15, 2008 Summary: Excellent! This book is a must-read for any health professional and parent involved in the care of a child with ASD or related disorder. I would urge all pediatric gastroenterologists to read this - the biochemistry will make sense to you! Written on September 5, 2008 Summary: Defeat Autism Now Practitioner Review I am a new DC and also certified in the Defeat Autism Now! Biomedical Intervention. I have just received the book and really enjoyed the chapter on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. I think it is spot on and very concise. I have included mHBOT in my clinic and after reading Dr. Neubranders chapter as well as several other books I am very excited to see it added here. This book is required reading in my office especially for new parents.Susan Anschutz, DC, Lee's Summit Mo Written on June 13, 2008 Summary: very helpful The book is very helpful. It makes biomedical information so easy to understand for parents new to such kind of interventions. Written on March 19, 2008 Summary: Clear science, clear explanation for parents or anyone who cares for an Autistic/ASD child Anyone who cares for an autistic child should read this book. Pediatricians, parents, anyone. (PERIOD) Along with the "Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians" by Bryan Jepson, this is the best scientific grounding a parent can find for understanding and treating autistic children -- they are both designed to be scientifically justifiable, suitable for pediatricians and other professionals who need to understand the current diagnoses and current treatment options. There is NO "hype" here; no easy answers; just strong science and experience in treating autism spetrum disorders (ASD, e.g., Autism, Asperger, ADD/ADHD, PDD). According to the author: Some children can and will lose their diagnoses and recover. Many will improve a great deal. Most will get some help. And she is honest enough to say -- and you need to know -- a few will see little or no improvement with the current knowledge and methods. She understands that medical testing can be stressful to both the child and the budget so recommends as many tests as the PATIENT history and the budget and insurance will support, but always with an eye towards reducing the stress on the child and doing only tests that indicate a good "cost/benefit" ratio. Genetics almost certainly play a role but most researchers and treating physicians are working from a "genetic predisposition" and environmental triggers being the commonality that sets off the condition. These triggers my include infections or other environmental insults to infants and children. Gut disorders are present in most of the ASD patients (until treated) but no one (including the author) knows if these are the cause or the result -- still they almost certainly aggrevate the conditions and at best lead to discomfort for a child who may have trouble communicating the pain of stomach and intestinal distress. Mercury MAY play a role whether introduced from vaccines (controversial as a cause but clearly recommended prior to 2001 in excess of any proven "safety" level ), or in other ways such as maternal dental fillings, maternal innoculations, paint (prior to 1991 INDOOR house paint contained Mercury), fish, and other introductions into the environment. Other heavy metals likewise -- anitmony is used in flame retardent clothing and who doesn't dress a baby and decorate the nursery with that? Auto-immune and immune/allergic responses may contribute or be the triggers that allow toxins to be ingested. She describes her diagnostic and treatment strategies in serious detail. Rather than continue with some of the ideas, let me end by saying this book is extremely READABLE and FACTUAL. Buy it; read it; use it to make sure you are getting the best possible advice and treatment. |
