Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Deborah, It is a very good book. Especially helpful if you want to do some of the DAN! protocol testing with a non-DAN! doctor.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Would you be willing to give just a quick nutshell of what this book is saying? I just plain can't read it at this time but am very interested in the findings. Thank you, Suzanne [ ] Re: Children with Starving Brains Ditto, this book is the best source of information for treating developmental delay. > > > In a message dated 10/30/2006 3:51:55 P.M.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 It is packed with information, but basically Dr. McCandless has years of experience treating the medical problems of children with autism. The book discusses common nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, viral issues, immune system problems, leaky gut, problems in the methionine and folate cycles (metabolism), and so forth, and also describes ways to address these problems. > > > > > > > > > In a message dated 10/30/2006 3:51:55 P.M.
