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!:
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 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... more info
Thank You for this valuable much needed book!:
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... more info
