Summary:
The statistics are alarming. Diagnosed cases of autism, ADHD, asthma, and allergies are increasing exponentially, especially among children. If your child is struggling with any of these conditions, you know that the search for answers can be overwhelming. After thirty years in pediatric medicine, Dr. Joseph Cannizzaro has found an unmistakable web of interrelationship among the 4-A disorders and has learned to recognize many of the patterns behind them. Here he lays a foundation for understanding this epidemic, including a comprehensive overview of each of the disorders--their causes, characteristics, and commonalities; and a groundbreaking integrative treatment program that includes nutrition, supplementation, medication, and detoxification.--From publisher description.
