Product Description
This book shows that autism can be treated by reducing the neurological inflammation that is part of the disease process, rather than simply masking the symptoms with drugs like Ritalin and Prozac. The authors have have seen autistic behaviors improve dramatically or disappear completely with appropriate medical treatment. The book reviews the medical literature regarding the biological nature of the disease, including the potential connection between vaccines and autism. The foreword is by Katie Wright, whose parents--Bob and Suzanne Wright--founded Autism Speaks.

 This is an incredible book! November 7, 2008

This book went way beyond my expectations. It is packed with evidence-based care for children with autism spectrum disorders, care that in some cases can lead to full recovery. It is shocking how much we actually do know about autism and it's causes and treatments, despite what we hear in the media. There is a lot of excellent research, published in top peer-reviewed medical journals, that is simply ignored by mainstream medicine. Many doctors are simply unaware that this research exists at all. Some doctors, such as the author, don't settle for the standard "no one knows what causes it and there's nothing we can do" party line- an opinion which is NOT based in evidence. the issues underlying Autism Spectrum Disorders are extremely complex though, so be warned. Each child is unique and there is no "road map" to recovery, but this book may help you understand what your child needs and where to keep looking for help. Looking for answers doesn't guarantee that you will find them, but NOT looking pretty much guarantees that you won't!
Best MTHFR synopsis I have found September 7, 2008

This book is NOT only for parents with autistic children. People who have "leaky gut" syndrome, and genetic defects associated with MTHFR NEED to get this book as a resource for understanding. Best description of leaky gut and C677 and T1298 I have found yet outside medical literature.

This books accomplishes much. It is a bio-chemistry overview, explaining what should happen in a typical body and highlighting what is being found to happen via research. It discusses potential causal agents of this multifaceted disease. It includes an excellent bibliography of each and every work cited. It summarize what is known today, discusses the multiple interpretations of existing studies, and highlights where additional research is needed.
This book serves as a map for parents to read and consider their children; it provides details about the system and helps to provide insight into where things may be awry in your child. ASD does not fit neatly into a single box, and it is reviewing the studies that helps one determine what might help their own child.
Thank You for this valuable much needed book! July 8, 2008

I have a child, born in 2001, with regressive autism and have for four years been working to heal him from the effects of his vaccines using biomedical interventions such as are outlined in this book. I so appreciate the careful and systematic way Dr. Jepson lays out this terrible disease. Although it's frightening as a mom to read all the complicated dysfunction that has happened to my child's immune system and neurological development, it's better to know than not know, so that I can work more effectively at healing him. He is getting gradually better. I plan to give one of these books to our pediatrician. Tragically, the mainstream medical community is utterly oblivious to what is happening medically to these afflicted children. Of course, to look too closely at this disease would compel them to acknowledge that the vaccine program is extremely dangerous, too many shots, too soon, and THIMEROSAL is an insane thing to be injecting into an infant. With one in one hundred and fifty children affected, how can the American Academy of Pediatrics turn a blind eye to the suffering of these children? We must help the pediatricians to deal more responsibly with our children, one doctor at a time if necessary. This book will be a great help towards that end. Thank you Dr. Jepson.
A wonderful overview of the way in wich our body works. May 18, 2008

This book changed my perspective, not only of autism but of the aproach I had of troubles in aging, auto-immune diseases, oxidation, aminoacids, etc. I've been looking for this information for a long time.
