The ADHD and Autism Nutritional Supplement Handbook Reviews

This book provides invaluable information on diet and supplements, as well as nutrient and medication interactions. From years of experience and sound research, these clinicians outline specific supplements that can positively impact your child's health and development. If you read only one guide this year, make it this one. - Nancy Hofreuter O'Hara, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.P., Center for Integrative Health, Wilton, CT.
This is a much needed serious yet readable and usable guide to leveraging diet and nutrition to maximize progress for those with ADHD and autism. Critical topics are covered and the reader will be armed, not only with practical advice, but also with genuine understanding and the ability to make much better decisions. - Martha Herbert, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, Pediatric Neurologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Affiliate of the Harvard-MIT-MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Director of the TRANSCEND Research Program, Author of The Autism Revolution
Lost in the landscape of ASD, PDD, ADHD and a jungle of other labels for children's problems? The best path favors not labels but logical questions shared by practitioner and parent. Does this child have a special unmet need to get and/or avoid something which, if addressed, will favor Nature's buoyant impulse toward healing? This book guides you among the options and up the steps of that path with clarity, precision, wisdom and wit. - Sidney M. Baker, M.D., F.A.A.P., Founder and CVO of Autism360.org , Author of Detoxification and Healing, co-author of Autism: Effective Biomedical Treatments
