Editorial Review:
This book shows that autism can be treated by reducing the neurological inflammation that is part of the disease process, rather than simply masking the symptoms with drugs like Ritalin and Prozac. The authors have have seen autistic behaviors improve dramatically or disappear completely with appropriate medical treatment. The book reviews the medical literature regarding the biological nature of the disease, including the potential connection between vaccines and autism. The foreword is by Katie Wright, whose parents--Bob and Suzanne Wright--founded Autism Speaks.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent book
This book answers a lot of questions about autism, and gives solid scientific evidence about how it can be successfully treated. My son is already reaping the benefits of this wonderful work.
Rating: - Changing the course of autism
For parents that want a closer look on how to treat their autistic children, this book gives you unbiased and safe information on the subjekt. The book is fearly easy to read, if you have already done some biomedical intervention on your child. For medical practitioners, this book offers a new look on life. It holds well documented arguments for biomedical intervention and makes you think that there may be a different approch to treating children with ASD.
Rating: - Must read if you care for someone with autism -- or who is at risk
If you care for an autistic* child (or someone older) then this book is a must read -- several times, until you thoroughly understand the science involved in this condition and until someone writes an update in a few years, as the science grows.
*Autistic Spectrum Disorders, PDD, (including 'regressive' autism in children who initially developed normally.)

Rating:  - Excellent technical detail about the causes of autism
And many other medical problems, for that matter. It basically is a complicated breakdown between the intestine, nervous system, and the brain due to a number of situations that have happened to a child or person. Dr. Jepsen, whom I heard speak in L.A., has a son who was diagnosed with autism and was told to "save money for an institution and don't waste your money on alternative treatments." It was his wife that learned (on the web) that kids were being helped--even cured--and he started investigating ... Read More
Rating: - Read this enlightening book and make sure others do too
Dr. Jepson has written an amazingly readable, comprehensive, and convincing book on the medical underpinnings and potential treatments of autism. His statements and conclusions are consistently backed by scientific and clinical evidence.
This book highlights once again the need for a sea change in the way doctors, as well as parents, view autism.
Here's a quote from the very popular book Three Cups of Tea, detailing one man's ability to counter terrorism with educational opportunities: ... Read More
