Items related to The Natural Medicine Guide to Autism
As autism rates in children continue to rise--the latest studies suggest anywhere from 1 in 50 to 1 in 100 American children is autistic--parents are scrambling to find effective treatment methods The Natural Medicine Guide to Autism offers answers by exploring a range of effective treatment options and the possibility of a positive outcome via natural medicine therapies.
The book covers the basics of autism--what it is and what causes it--and the factors that are often involved in the disorder: heavy metal toxicity, nutritional deficiencies/imbalances, food allergies, digestive problems and fungal overgrowth, viruses or viral overload, immune dysfunction, problems in the birthing process, energetic legacies from unresolved family issues in previous generations, and vaccines. It also covers a range of natural medicine treatments, including elimination diets, listening and learning skills, nutritional supplements to correct imbalances, cranial osteopathy to reverse birth trauma, and many more.
A chapter is also devoted to the deeper question of what makes a child susceptible to autism. Included in this discussion is the work of William J. Walsch, PhD, whose research may well have pinpointed the genetic component of autism that has previously eluded scientific inquiry.

About the Author:
Stephanie Marohn is a medical journalist and non-fiction writer and the author of What the Animals Taught Me, as well as The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder. She runs an animal sanctuary in Sonoma County, CA. Visit her at www.stephaniemarohn.com.
From Library Journal:
Drawing on interviews with doctors and several patient histories, alternative health writer Marohn (Natural Medicine First Aid Remedies) recommends natural medicine and a controlled diet as "cures" for children diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). While examining environmental factors, pollution, and vaccines as possible causes for ASD is perfectly valid, Marohn posits that they are the main causes and, in turn, provides an unbalanced and unsound approach to treatment. The 14 alternatives that she suggests (e.g., targeted therapeutic nutrition, homeopathy) are rarely supported by more than anecdotal evidence and create unrealistic expectations. Marohn ignores behavioral, speech, and occupational therapies, which are considered critical to the successful treatment of children with ASD. In addition, she makes the ludicrous assertion that preventing autism is as easy as disregarding physicians and protecting your child from our toxic environment. Marohn risks shifting blame for the rise in ASD back to the parents, who supposedly control their child's environment. A better choice for libraries is Mitzi Waltz's Autistic Spectrum Disorders: Understanding the Diagnosis and Getting Help, which presents a more evenhanded section on alternative remedies. Not recommended.
