Detailed Description An important book suggesting that autism can be perceived and managed as a medical issue. The authors explain that reducing neurological inflammation dramatically improves autistic behaviors and can have a profound impact on the health and future of affected children and their families. As a physician and father of a child with autism, Dr. Bryan Jepson wrote this book to encourage mainstream physicians to change their view of autism to reflect that it could considered a disease of disordered chemistry and metabolism that affects multiple organ systems and that those aspects are treatable. It is also written for parents who will gain access to a plethora of medical information and data that will empower them with principles and concepts to move forward in step with their doctors. Chapters address the immune system, the MMR controversy, mercury and autism, nutritional deficiencies, treating the gut, detoxification, and more.
