Product Description
Recently, the CDC issued an alert indicating that autism may impact one out of every150 children. While the syndrome is still officially labeled as idiopathic, research shows the cause of autism may possess genetic, environmental, and possibly immunological factors and that it has at least a correlation to oxidative stress. This book collects work from researchers working at the frontier of neuroscience and medicine who report on evidence indicating links between autism and a number of oxidative stress-related abnormalities such as neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, membrane and metabolism abnormalities, and signal transduction. The text also reports on potential avenues for new therapeutic intervention strategies. |

| Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure
by Paul A. Offit MD (Author)
A London researcher was the first to assert that the combination measles-mumps-rubella vaccine known as MMR caused autism in children. Following this "discovery," a handful of parents declared that a mercury-containing preservative in several vaccines was responsible for the disease. If mercury caused autism, they reasoned, eliminating it from a child's system should treat the disorder. Consequently, a number of untested alternative therapies arose, and, most tragically, in one such...

| Changing the Course of Autism: A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians
by Bryan Jepson (Author), Katie Wright (Foreword), Jane Johnson (Foreword)
A decade ago, autism was a rare disease--today, most Americans know a family with an autistic child. Autism is now epidemic, currently affecting half a million American children, or 1 in 150. This makes it the most common developmental disability--more common than Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation combined. Autism is growing at a startling rate of 10-17 percent per year, which means that the disease could reach several million Americans in the next decade. ...
