“An in-depth, scientific—yet hopeful and
positive—look at how the brain and body work together .
. . [Dr. Martha Herbert] has developed a new way of
seeing autism.”—Library
Journal
After years
of treating patients and analyzing scientific data,
Harvard Medical School researcher and clinician Dr.
Martha Herbert offers a revolutionary new view of autism
and a transformative strategy for dealing with it.
Autism, she concludes, is not a hardwired impairment
programmed into a child’s genes and destined to remain
fixed forever. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of
events, many seemingly minor. And while other doctors
may dismiss your child’s physical symptoms—the anxiety,
sensory overload, sleeplessness, frequent illnesses or
seizures—as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees
them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are,
and how to help. Drawing from the newest research,
technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case
studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides
you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved
one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to
provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, limit
stress, and open the door to learning and creativity. As
thousands of families who have cobbled together these
solutions themselves already know, this program can have
dramatic benefits—for your child with autism, and for
you, your whole family, and perhaps your next baby as
well.
“Invaluable . . . a
must-read . . . Dr. Martha Herbert gets it. She not only
gets it, but she puts it out there in an awesome book so
the rest of us can get it, too.”—Autism
