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. </p><p>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. </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FChildren-Starving-Brains-Treatment-Disorder%2Fdp%2F1883647134%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1184684440%26sr%3D1-1&amp;tag=theenvironm06-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" target="_blank"><img src="/images/buyfromamazon.gif" border="0" alt="Buy from Amazon.com" width="120" height="28" /></a></p><p> </p><p><span class="bodytxt">» </span><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1883647096/theenvironmen-21" target="_blank"><strong>Buy from Amazon.co.uk</strong></a></p> http://www.ei-resource.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1080&Itemid=99999#jreview_9 The author of this title is an experiemced medical doctor with specialist training in the area of psychiarty and neurology. She now runs an alternative medical practice and came to research the actual causes of autism after her grandchild was diagnosed. This is a very technical book, sometimes reading like a textbook, but the amount of important information it contains means it is worth the effort. Drawing on the latest research findings Dr. McCandless finds that Autism Spectrum Disorders are most likely the result of genetic susceptibility combined with various environmental triggers like heavy metals and gut dysfunction. The reader is then presented with guidelines for a "broad spectrum approach" to treatment. An invaluable source of the latest information.
