Customer Reviews

Great reference especially if you are doing biomedical treatments!

I have a child with autism and have been implementing biomedical treatments for almost 2 years and he has recovered from most of his autistic symptoms. His symptoms were lack of eye contact, head banging, sensory issues, limited and delayed speech, tantrums, repetitive behavior, aggressiveness, impulsivity, attention deficit, constipation, big bulging belly, rashes, ezcema, high fevers, frequent illness, and a "disconnect" from the outside world. Today he is in the mainstream classroom, is very healthy, and people can't tell he has autism. Reading through the book may be challenging in the beginning since it's quite technical, but it is a GREAT reference to look up the vitamins and supplements that are typically needed for ASD kids. This book tells you what each supplement does, as well as its dosage, timing, and side effects. Over time as you educate yourself further, reading the entire book gets easier and makes more sense, but the supplements part is still great even for beginners. It also explains the stages of biomedical treatment, which begins from cleaning the gut and the basic supplements. I highly recommend this book!

Absolutely Indispensable!

My copy of this book has so many page corners turned and sticky tabs that it looks like I've had it for years! Dr Baker is sensitive and thorough. Dr Pangborn fully explains the rationale behind each and every supplement, fully explains the lab tests, and guides a novice into knowledge with great skill. Our grandson has made miraculous leaps in development and health thanks to this resource. Hats off to these two dedicated gentlemen.

Effective Biomedical Treatments

Well organized and written so even the medical terminology was generally understandable or easy to follow.

EXCELLENT book for parents of kids seeing a DAN! doctor

Helpful explainations of many many vitamin and nutrients, details on the methalation cycle, how the brain is affected by nutrition and the environment, sulfation. Great companion book to listening to the DAN! webcasts at www.danwebcast.com ....I borrowed this book from a friend and a month later realized I needed to buy my own copy, it's just such a good reference!!!
