Jenny McCarthy—whose bestselling books Louder Than Words
and Mother Warriors told the stories of healing children
with autism—teams up with a preeminent autism doctor to
write the first book on a remarkably effective
treatment.
In 2006, autism became the leading
disorder affecting children in the United States. While
diagnoses skyrocket and parents struggle to find help, a
group of innovative doctors has been pioneering therapies
and treatments that are remarkably effective in healing
conditions associated with autism. As word spreads about
these incredible discoveries— helped in part by Jenny
McCarthy’s book Louder Than Words— parents are
desperate to learn about the biomedical therapies for
themselves.
Since early intervention is key to a
successful recovery, McCarthy has teamed up with Dr. Jerry
Kartzinel, the doctor who successfully treated her son, to
write the first book to give parents all the necessary
information about biomedical treatment. Beginning with
diagnosis, Dr. Kartzinel explains the different therapies
that he uses. He shows parents how to make simple changes to
their child’s environment and diet that can result in marked
improvements and are safe and easy to try at home. And
finally he explains some of the more advanced therapies that
many doctors use today, and the way parents, alongside a
qualified medical professional, can determine whether or not
such treatments would benefit their child.
For new
parents, Dr. Kartzinel provides helpful guidelines on how to
best protect their child from developing autism.
