Book Reviews of Children with Starving Brains: A Medical Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Book Review: Required reading for every doctor
Summary: 5 Stars

An outstanding book on the effects of dairy products on the autistic person written by a doctor in laymans terms. The medical profession is quick to prescribe a variety of medications but seldom, if ever, discuss the dairy/gluten problems in the autistic spectrum. The suggestions in this book really work in the stabilization of the behavior of the autisic child. The doctor who wrote the book has an autistic grandchild and she speaks with first hand knowledge.

Summary of Children with Starving Brains: A Medical Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum Disorder

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.
