"For me, the proof of this book's worth has been my child who speaks two languages fluently, plays appropriately and is a joy to behold."
Parent from New Jersey of a recovered child, September 29,2000

"Dr. Shaw has performed a great and much needed service for the parents of autistic children--and the physicians who work with autistic children-by publishing this book. There are, however, very few books-like this one-which address the practical, here and now biomedical treatments that can bring about dramatic improvement in many autistic individuals. ………Thank you Dr. Shaw"
Bernard Rimland Ph.D.

"Dr. Shaw takes the complicated and often convoluted theory, and discoveries of some of the most brilliant researchers, physicians, scientists, and other experts in their fields, and explains, dissects, and relates their research and findings in a way that just about anyone can understand regardless of education or background."
Parent of child with autism from Lancaster, PA 17602

Parent from Ohio, USA, August 8, 2000

"Autism is very complicated and not well understood. Dr. Shaw is a living legend! He includes information from different parents, medical analysis, lab work, theories, etc. Read it and learn! Fight for your child!"
Adam Michael Sacks, from Ramat Aviv Gimmel, Israel

"A must-read for anyone with family/friends on the spectrum. This is one of the most comprehensive, up-to-date research available to parents/guardians of autistic individuals. This book gives critical information on treatments that ARE effective in helping individuals diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder."
Parent from Rockville, MD, August 14, 1999

"Dr. Shaw's book was a great acquisition for us, and his knowledge is changing many old concepts about nutrition. We are very grateful for it!"
