Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders

by Kenneth Bock, Cameron Stauth

Random House Publishing Group | April 10, 2007 | Hardcover

Autism is an epidemic: It has spiked 1,500 percent in the last twenty years. ADHD, asthma and allergies have also skyrocketed over the same time period. One of these conditions now strikes one in every three children in America. But there is hope. Leading medical innovator Kenneth Bock, M.D., has helped change the lives of more than a thousand children, and in this important book, with a comprehensive program that targets all four of the 4-A disorders, he offers help to children everywhere. This is the book that finally puts hope within reach.

Doctors have generally overlooked the connections among the 4-A disorders, despite their concurrent rise and the presence of many medical clues. For years the medical establishment has considered autism medically untreatable and utterly incurable, and has limited ADHD treatment mainly to symptom suppression. Dr. Bock and his colleagues, however, have discovered a solution - one that goes to the root of the problem. They have found that deadly modern toxins, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, genetic vulnerabilities and assaults on the immune and gastrointestinal systems trigger most of the symptoms of the 4-A disorders, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis and untold misery.

Dr. Bock's remarkable Healing Program, drawing on medical research and based on years of clinical success, offers a safe, sensible solution that is individualized to each child to help remedy these root causes. The biomedical approach to autism, ADHD, and the other 4-A epidemics, as innovated by Dr. Bock and some of America's finest integrative physicians, is one of the most promising and exciting medical movements of our time.

In this eminently readable account, written by Dr. Bock in collaboration with critically acclaimed author Cameron Stauth, you will meet children and parents whose dramatic stories will inspire you to change the life of your own child. This program may be the help that you have been praying for.

From the Critics

Advance praise for Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies

"An easy-to-read commonsense guide to beneficial biomedical treatments such as diets and supplements. Dr. Bock clearly explains the different options and provides case histories of treatment successes."
-Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures

"Superb . . . Encyclopedic but accessible and easy to read, this book will tell you all you need to know-and all your doctor needs to know but probably doesn''t. An expert in the field, I learned a lot by reading this fascinating, extremely useful book."
-Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of Delivered from Distraction

"This remarkable and timely book provides a truly invaluable resource for parents, guiding them toward positive steps they can take to rescue their children. Bock and Stauth have done an outstanding job of removing the barriers to understanding these conditions and getting children started on the path to recovery."
-Richard Deth, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology, Northeastern University

"This book provides readers with the tools to defend and restore their children's health. It is well written and comprehensive, and tackles the controversies organized medicine would prefer to ignore. If you are concerned about the futures of all our children, this is a must-read."
-Jeff Bradstreet, M.D., F.A.A.F.P., director, The International Child Development Resource Center

"This groundbreaking book is sure to change the face of pediatric medicine. It's a remarkable and practical work by a fine physician and an excellent science writer. I highly recommend it."
-Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., author of Brain Longevity
