FROM THE INSIDE COVER:
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.

“An easy to read, common sense guide to beneficial biomedical treatments such as diets and
supplements.  Dr. Bock clearly explains the different options and provides case histories of treatment
successes.”

"This book brings together--for the first time as far as I know--the vast information on 4 childhood
disorders that have become increasingly common over the past decade.  If your child has any of
these conditions, or if you are interested in a modern medical riddle, then buy this book.  It is 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.  As an expert in the field, I learned a lot by reading this
fascinating, extremely useful book."  
--Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of Driven to Distraction, Delivered from Distraction and Crazy Busy

“This book provides the readers with the tools to defend and restore their children’s health. It is well

the path to recovery.”
