"Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride is to be congratulated on putting together such a well-researched and provocative book. From the overuse of antibiotics to the promotion of breast-feeding and healthier diets, Dr. Campbell-McBride writes with the authority of a practising doctor and with the warmth and feeling of a mother of a child with autism. Every parent with a child who has autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia or dyspraxia will find much to value in this book, which in turn delights and shocks the reader. I warmly recommend it."—Dr Basant K Puri, MA, PhD, MB, BChir, BSc MathSci, MRCPsych, DipStat, MMath, Head of the Lipid Neuroscience Group, MRI Unit, Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College, London; and author of The Natural Way to Beat Depression; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; and Natural Energy "Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride has done an excellent job of summarising the nutritional biochemical connections with pyschiatric and neurological disorders and gastrointestianl function. She has done an admirable job in relating specific digestive disorders in conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, attention deficit disorder and other problems of child development. The book is full of valuable and interesting facts that can be used by people to optimise the health of themselves and their children."—Dr. William Shaw, PhD., Great Plains Laboratories, Kansas, USA "Dr. Campbell-McBride’s book provides important information and great insight into the understanding and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in those with developmental disabilities and other disorders.

Edelson, Ph.D., Center for the Study of Autism, Oregon USA "This book is fantastic and will become a classic. Every medic should have one. . . No, every household should have one! An invaluable resource for patients with ‘syndrome diseases’ and so called ‘mental health problems’. The medicine of the future already in practice."—Martina Watts BA(Hons) DipION MBANT, practising nutritionist and journalist "This book presents the case for investigating the nutritional aspects, how the gut works and how poor gut function seriously impacts not only physical health but also brain function, for all children with learning and behaviour difficulties. Countless parents seeking help from The Hyperactive Children’s Support Group find their children benefit greatly from dietary and nutritional interventions. Vitamin, mineral and essential fatty acid deficiencies are all too frequently discovered.
