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!!!

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.

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

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!

Great work, very helpful. Highly technical in parts, but the explanations are understandable. Many diagrams, charts, lists. Comprehensive index & reference list.

The book begins with an explanation of the multitude of individual factors that can complicate health & developmental progress in individuals with autism. It gives details about skin & gut problems, special diets, yeast issues/antifungals, allergens, detoxification, metabolic disorders, and lab tests.

The last 1/3 of the book discusses about 36 different supplements for autism: specific vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, probiotics, amino acids, and others.

While this book is not inexpensive, it is worth its weight in gold. Pangborn & Baker helped me make dietary and supp changes that were very helpful to my child.

I love all of the doctors and parents that helped create this book. It has been like a bible to me for the past year. Thank you Amazon for selling it. My son is 100% better because of this book! I have my son back.

I used this book and worked with a doctor to get to tier 2 of the pricipals. This is a great book ( "The Bible of the rocks to look under for clues" ) that helped my daughter move much closer to recovery than would have been possible. We now work with a great DAN! doctor Dr. Lynne who is very informed in this area. Rachael has gone from non verbal to speaking with a 100 word vocabulary / a small sentence is now here... Thanks ! to the Douglas College program, the the tools ( knowledge and certifications ) the girls bring and professionalism. Meeting Dr. Barbi from the Autism Center in the begining was fabulous who also works with us and has been a big part of the recovery process. We have been very lucky moving forward so far it seems like a miracle is taking place.."Sometimes God's Angels are busy and he uses regular people" !!, Story from a friend.
