DESCRIPTION:
Lyons-Weiler provides a major overview of all aspects of the condition of autism, reviews changes in diagnoses and treatments, and explains how genetic information can be used to tailor effective treatments, and sometimes reversals, of the symptoms. Autism is considered one of the most mystifying conditions of our day, and alarmed scientists, doctors, politicians, and parents are desperately trying to understand why the condition is escalating. By the time you listen to this book, that number may have changed yet again. While most autism researchers focus on either environmental or genetic causes of autism, Lyons-Weiler's opus demonstrates that to fully understand the condition and to finally put its rate on the decrease, it is essential to pay attention to the science showing how the two classes of factors interact.. He also presents practical forward-looking suggestions on how to design future studies to facilitate the discovery of biomarkers for autism risk and how to classify the full range of autism spectrum disorders. According to the CDC, rates in the United States have risen from an estimated one in two thousand children
Wow, the most important book in pediatrics right now and for the foreseeable future macfawlty This November 2016 release is a complete paradigm shift the likes of which I've never seen.

"Every medical professional and parent should read this book to" according to Tina M Wise. Every medical professional and parent should read this book to understand our current autism epidemic. Be brave and think outside the established paradigm! Thank you, Dr. Lyons-Weiler, for presenting the evidence so clearly and for opening up my eyes to many studies and data of which I was unaware!Tina M. Wise, RPhPediatric hospital pharmacist & mother of an autistic son. Chakraaa said Highly recommended for those who want an unbiased view of the existing science of autism.. An excellent book written by an ethical scientist and skeptic. If you want to dig further into the peer-reviewed literature which shows the mechanism behind autism's causal factors—you've come to the right place. The science has been predominately ignored, unacknowledged, and even denied in the mainstream medical community. In turn, many parents as well as professionals have chosen to do their own research on their own time.When it comes to vaccines and autism, the science is not settled as you have been told.
