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

Book Review: still starving
Summary: 1 Stars

Our pyschologist recommended this book, but I wondered if she had actually read it after I ordered it. I think the grandmother/doctor that wrote this book was grasping at straws for something to help her grandchild. I can't say I blame her...no one likes the diagnosis of "different." But while I read this book (and it's NOT an easy read), I kept thinking, "HUH!?!? These people have lost their minds." Snake oil, I tell you. There's no cure for autism. There's no prevention. People who try to tell you otherwise either want your money or your devotion. I don't think we should give up trying to find a cure, but do your child a favor and don't jump on the weirdo-bandwagon in the process. The book was a sad display of desperation by someone with a lot of school and a lot of hope, but a loose grip on reality. Don't do this to your child. If you simply feel you must read this book, at least flip to the back and read the, um, "disturbing" little poem (written by the step-grandfather of the child for whom it was dedicated)before you get started. At least then you'll have that for a frame of reference for the personality of this family...for whatever that might be worth to you.

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.
