About The Myth Of Autism: How A Misunderstood Epidemic Is

Product Description Experts agree that America is in the midst of a disturbing epidemic of what has thus far been diagnosed as autism. In just thirty years autism diagnoses have risen from 1 in 5,000 children to 1 in 110, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But in the history of our society there has never been an “epidemic” of any developmental or genetic disorder—it is scientifically impossible. So what is this mysterious affliction known as “autism,” and how can we stop it? Dr. Goldberg and his colleagues illustrate why autism cannot be genetic, but is a symptom of a treatable neurological disease that attacks the brain’s immune system. Readers will come to understand:      • Autism is not psychological or developmental, but a medical disease.      • Autism is caused by a dysfunction in the neuro-immune system and often by secondary neurotropic viruses that impact the neuro-immune system and brain.      • Illnesses such as autism, ADD/ADHD, and chronic fatigue syndrome all have different “labels” but are actually variations on the same thing: neuro-immune dysfunction syndromes (NIDS).      • A NeuroSPECT scan is a diagnostic tool which, used in combination with proven therapies and treatments described in this book, is saving lives today, while opening the door to new therapies.      • What you can do to transform your own life or the lives of your loved ones. Dr. Goldberg believes that in order to save the next generation of children from the incurable stigma of an autism diagnosis, we must quickly realize that all of these disorders are the result of a curable disease process. Review "Dr. Goldberg has spent the last thirty years developing the evidence to support a biologic or neuroinflammatory model to explain autism. Now mainstream science is catching up, and sophisticated research tools support this model." ----Nancy Klimas, MD, Professor of Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine "Dr. Goldberg suspected from very early [that autism was] the consequence of an inflammatory process and thus amenable for treatment. Over the years, the epidemic increase of the prevalence of this dreadful condition has strengthened this hypothesis." ----Ismael Mena, MD, Emeritus Professor Radiological Sciences UCLA School of Medicine, Doctor Honoris Causa University d'Auvergne, France, Department of Nuclear Medicine, Clinica Las Condes Santiago, Chile "Less than thirty years ago it seemed unbelievable that peptic ulcer disease was associated with a bacterial infection--yet we now know that it is. And now with the unabated rise of autism, Dr. Goldberg's question, `What if it isn't autism?' seems similarly unbelievable. Yet he makes a cogent argument that it is a medical disease, not a mental, psychological, or developmental disorder. What if he is right?" ----J. Michael Uszler, MD, drspectscan.com "Dr. Goldberg's knowledge base is greater than anyone else's in this treatment area. He is the best expert in this field, in my opinion. I could have taken my son to any autism doctor in the world and I chose Dr. Goldberg." -- --Bruce L. Russell, MD, FAAFP About the Author Dr. Michael J. Goldberg received his medical degree from UCLA and trained at LAC-USC Medical Center. He is the president of the Neuro-Immune Defi-ciency (NIDS) Medical Advisory Board and is on the clinical teaching staff at both UCLA and Cedars-Sinai Hospitals. With seventeen years experience in evaluating and treating autism, ADD/ADHD, and chronic fatigue syndrome, Goldberg is dedicated to increasing public awareness of the connection between neuro-immune and/or auto-immune dysfunction and other conditions, such as autism, ADD, Alzheimer’s, ALS, CFS/CFIDS, and MS.
