With Starving Brains: A Medical Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum
Disorder (Taken from the back cover of the book) CWSB is a message of hope in the midst of a worldwide epidemic of autism, ADD and ADHD. 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. 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. 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. Note from IN FEAT members: This is an excellent book, particularly for parents who are new to the biomedical approaches to autism. Biological Treatments for
Autism and PDD (Revised 2002 Edition) An authoritative, comprehensive, easy-to-read resource guide to a wide range of therapies that have been useful in the treatment of autism, including antifungal and antibacterial therapies, gluten and casein restriction, homeopathy, vitamin therapy, gamma globulin treatment, transfer factor therapies, treatment of food allergies and alternatives to antibiotic therapy. Updated with the latest information on heavy metals toxicity, secretin, immunization recommendations, abnormalities of nucleotide metabolism, the role of DPPIV, and much more. Special Diets for Special
Kids: Understanding and Implementing Special Diets to Aid in the Treatment of
Autism and Related Developmental Disorders In an easy and readable manner, the author explains a complex and intriguing intervention strategy for helping children and adults with autism. Drawing upon her own success with removing gluten (wheat protein) and casein (milk protein) from her autistic son's diet, she answers the many questions parents and professionals might have about choosing a dietary intervention: Why choose a special diet? Will my child starve? What do I cook? Includes over 150 recipes. Unraveling the Mystery
of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder: A Mother's Story of
Research and Recovery When their 19 month-old son Miles was diagnosed with autism, Seroussi and her husband empowered themselves to challenge the medical establishment and find a cure--for their own son and potentially thousands more. After three intense years, the couple reached startling conclusions about the biological nature of autism. As a testament to their findings, by the age of four Miles was pronounced "fully recovered." Seroussi explains how autism spectrum disorders may be caused by a combination of genetics, food allergies and the viral load from an intensive schedule of childhood vaccinations. For some of these children, the collective assault to the immune system results in the malprocessing of certain proteins, namely gluten and casein. This book provides hands-on information, clear answers to the most commonly asked questions, step-by-step instructions for the removal of dairy and gluten from the diet, recipes, manufacturers and mail order sources, information about behavior modification, and web sites. Personal Accounts by Parents Let

She also has filled the book with practical help on everything from whom to call for help, how to get funding, what foods to avoid, and how to work with the schools and doctors.
