    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisA practical guidebook providing a case-based approach to neurobehavioral problems in people with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Includes extensive treatment plans and covers a range of issues such as anxiety, skin-picking, ADHD, disruptive behavior, mood disorders, and psychosis. A must-read for clinicians and caregivers helping individuals with PWS.Trade Review'Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is more than just a rare genetic disorder. It is a complex syndrome with many challenging symptoms. Dr Singh not only names and describes these symptoms, he also provides practical recommendations for managing them. This book covers the spectrum of common behavioral problems seen in PWS in terms and language people without medical training can understand, and it delves deeper into the neuro-behavioral manifestations aimed at medical professionals who will care for patients with PWS. This book is a great reference tool for everyone from families who have just received their diagnosis to caregivers of older children experiencing many of these behaviors to medical professionals who will counsel these patients, parents and caregivers.' Paige Rivard, MBA, CEO Prader-Willi Syndrome Association, USA'The Neuro-behavioral Manifestations of Prader-Willi Syndrome provides an in-depth look at those aspects of PWS that families struggle with every day. From anxiety to behavioral outbursts to frank mental illness, Dr Singh and colleagues provide insight and a holistic approach to managing some of the most difficult aspects of the syndrome. The chapters are written with sufficient detail to be highly informative for clinicians and health care providers who wish to become more knowledgeable about PWS, while the 'Note to Caregiver' section in each chapter will be particularly helpful for families. This book is bound to be an important and well-used resource for anyone caring for a person with PWS.' Theresa V. Strong, Ph.D., Director of Research Programs, Foundation for Prader-Willi Research'In this book, Dr Deepan Singh, along with other contributors, has set out his perspective as a psychiatrist seeing people with PWS in the context of the American health system. I admire his commitment seeking to cover this complex area in these 15 chapters, which range widely in their content including topics as diverse as caregiver burden and the neurobiology of PWS. Importantly, Dr Singh draws upon particular areas of psychiatric knowledge applying them to our understanding of PWS.'

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisExploring the links between GM foods, glyphosate, and gut health With chronic disorders among American children reaching epidemic levels, hundreds of thousands of parents are desperately seeking solutions to their children’s declining health, often with little medical guidance from the experts. What’s Making Our Children Sick? convincingly explains how agrochemical industrial production and genetic modification of foods is a culprit in this epidemic. Is it the only culprit? No. Most chronic health disorders have multiple causes and require careful disentanglement and complex treatments. But what if toxicants in our foods are a major culprit, one that, if corrected, could lead to tangible results and increased health? Using patient accounts of their clinical experiences and new medical insights about pathogenesis of chronic pediatric disorders—taking us into gut dysfunction and the microbiome, as well as the politics of food science—this book connects the dots to explain our kids’ ailing health. What’s Making Our Children Sick? explores the frightening links between our efforts to create higher-yield, cost-efficient foods and an explosion of childhood morbidity, but it also offers hope and a path to effecting change. The predicament we now face is simple. Agroindustrial “innovation” in a previous era hoped to prevent the ecosystem disaster of DDT predicted in Rachel Carson’s seminal book in 1962, Silent Spring. However, this industrial agriculture movement has created a worse disaster: a toxic environment and, consequently, a toxic food supply. Pesticide use is at an all-time high, despite the fact that biotechnologies aimed to reduce the need for them in the first place. Today these chemicals find their way into our livestock and food crop industries and ultimately onto our plates. Many of these pesticides are the modern day equivalent of DDT. However, scant research exists on the chemical soup of poisons that our children consume on a daily basis. As our food supply environment reels under the pressures of industrialization via agrochemicals, our kids have become the walking evidence of this failed experiment. What’s Making Our Children Sick? exposes our current predicament and offers insight on the medical responses that are available, both to heal our kids and to reverse the compromised health of our food supply.Trade Review“Through surveys, doctors’ reports, and countless firsthand discussions, we are aware that thousands of people get better from a wide range of diseases and conditions soon after switching to a non-GMO organic diet. This outstanding book not only sees the results every day in Dr. Perro’s practice, but has also connected the dots with the science. What’s Making Our Children Sick? should be required reading for every doctor, every mom, and anyone seeking to prevent or reverse a chronic condition.”—Jeffrey M. Smith, author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette; codirector of Secret IngredientsKirkus Reviews- "Medical professionals join the debate over the safety of our food supply with the claim that toxic foods are causing hard-to-diagnose chronic health problems in children.Pediatrician Perro, former director of the pediatric emergency department at New York's Metropolitan Hospital and attending physician at Oakland Children's Hospital, and Adams (Vice Chair, Medical Anthropology/Univ. of California, San Francisco; Metrics: What Counts in Global Health, 2016, etc.) team up to document this phenomenon and to argue that the solution is a new model of ecomedicine that promotes the treatment value of healthy food. Genetically modified foods come in for especially close scrutiny. Perro's practice provides clinical case studies illustrating the many health problems of children—allergies, asthma, rashes, gastrointestinal issues, autoimmune disorders, and cognitive malfunction—that frustrated parents have brought to her attention and that she has successfully treated. The authors also delve into the rise of agrochemical technologies and the current practices of industrial food production, especially with regard to GMO crops. They explore what biomedical sciences are beginning to learn about the connection between pesticides and organ systems, and they question the effectiveness of American Medical Association guidelines for medical practice, which they assert do not reflect scientific information. Physicians, they write, must think beyond the pill. The ecomedicine model calls for a recognition that our internal ecosystems can only be as healthy as our external environmental ecosystems. In their demand for a revolution in our food production system, as well as in our medical approach to chronic disorders, the authors acknowledge the need for scientists, educators, politicians, health professionals, and farmers to become involved, but they single out mothers as powerful agents of change. An accessible read with a title designed to catch the attention of worried mothers and a message that will be vigorously challenged by a host of agribusiness and pharmaceutical industry spokespeople and segments of the medical profession. "“It would be difficult for anyone to read this powerful book with even a halfway open mind and not conclude that our industrialized system of food production is in urgent need of major reform. The routine claim that genetically engineered foods are well-regulated, well-tested, and wholesome crumples in the face of the facts that are skillfully woven together in this monumental work.”—Steven M. Druker, author of Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public“Chronic diseases that were once rare are now plaguing children and adults alike in industrialized nations such as the United States. The patient case histories that Dr. Perro and Dr. Adams describe in What’s Making Our Children Sick? provide compelling evidence for advocating lifestyle changes, especially dietary medicine intervention, for overcoming these chronic ailments. And science increasingly provides explanations for such success. We now know that the balance of our gut bacteria (microbiome) is crucial to health and that imbalance, causing gut dysbiosis, is at least a contributing factor to a vast range of chronic illnesses, both physical and mental. Poor diet is no doubt a major contributory factor in causing gut dysbiosis. By eliminating pesticide and GMO-laden food from the diet and replacing it with organic wholefoods as part of her lifestyle medicine approach, Dr. Perro succeeds where standard pharmaceuticals fail. This should be enough for all to take note and follow suit.”—Michael Antoniou, molecular geneticist, King’s College London; coauthor of GMO Myths and Truths“The sharp rise of severe allergies, brain disorders, and other chronic illnesses among America’s children has left many doctors stumped, finding themselves unable to offer lasting cures or even successfully manage sometimes devastating symptoms. Enter Dr. Michelle Perro, an integrative food-forward family physician who has had excellent results helping children and adults overcome chronic disease. Even if you’re already familiar with the controversies surrounding genetically modified foods and healthy eating, you will learn a lot from Perro and Adams’s carefully researched, science-oriented book. A compelling and important read. Highly recommended.”—Jennifer Margulis, PhD, author of Your Baby, Your Way: Taking Charge of Your Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Parenting Decisions for a Happier, Healthier Family“With her extensive experience as a director and attending in Pediatric Emergency Medicine and her current integrative practice and health advocacy, Dr. Michelle Perro has teamed up with coauthor Vincanne Adams, whose expertise from medical anthropology is a perfect complement to the clinical perspective; together they have produced a powerful book. Their analysis carefully examines the scientific evidence and patient responses to the disruptive effects of chemicals contaminating our food, water, and the environment, and their damaging effects on our children. What’s Making Our Children Sick? exposes the hype of genetic engineering, both its flawed science and failed promises that have wreaked havoc on our health. Using their medical experience and case studies, Perro and Adams offer welcome alternatives to restore our health and hope for our future.”—Don M. Huber, emeritus professor, Purdue University“Having seen firsthand how Dr. Michelle Perro works miracles with children in her clinical practice, I am delighted to see that she has made her insights and approach widely accessible in this groundbreaking book. What’s Making Our Children Sick? combines the latest research on gut health and the microbiome with concerning evidence about the dangers of genetically modified and industrial foods to elucidate the perfect storm that is damaging our children’s health today. Most importantly, it offers practical and actionable solutions for both parents and practitioners to help children recover their health.”—Akil Palanisamy, MD, Harvard-trained physician; author of The Paleovedic Diet“Doctors Perro and Adams have made the complex topic of the interrelationship between the gut, brain, and the food our kids eat accessible to all. In my own experience, autism recovery is rarely possible without a dietary overhaul and a focus on whole, organic, and natural foods. This book is a welcome resource for parents struggling with their children’s chronic health conditions.”—J. B. Handley, cofounder, Generation Rescue“What’s Making Our Children Sick? is a true clarion call to parents, physicians, and policymakers everywhere to change the way we grow the food we eat. Unless we move away from industrialized food sources that are created for the lowest short-term costs, we and our children will continue to experience increased chronic disease, immune dysfunction, and mental health problems. The transformation of our nutrition is not simply for our children and us, but also for future generations and our dear planet. It is almost as though we are all Romans drinking wine out of lead-lined bottles. Future generations will wonder why we have been so blind, deaf, and dumb.”—Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH, author of Homeopathic Medicine for Children and Infants and The Homeopathic Revolution“Industrial medicine and agriculture, with wholesale government approval, have caused an epidemic of chronic childhood illness largely traceable to ubiquitous poisons and alien DNA in our food supply. A clinical argument for organic foods, What’s Making Our Children Sick? is a stop-look-listen book for parents, doctors, teachers, and grocery shoppers everywhere.”—Carol Van Strum, author of A Bitter Fog: Herbicides and Human Rights“Dr. Perro was one of the first American pediatricians to connect the dots from GMOs to intestinal permeability, suffering children, and overwhelmed parents. Over the years her knowledge base for solutions has increased exponentially, as has the health of her young patients. Food-focused medicine, as she and Vincanne Adams detail in What’s Making Our Children Sick?, is a clarion call to us all.”—Samm Simpson, cohost, The Power Hour Radio Broadcast; associate producer, Genetic Roulette“Perro and Adams’ book is an alarming, eye-opening read that documents more clearly than ever the devastating consequences that pervasive pesticide use in food production is having on our health, and the urgent need to protect our children from a system that prefers we treat illness and disease with pills rather than prevention.”—Carey Gillam, journalist, author; research director, consumer advocacy group U.S. Right to Know“With a deep understanding of the multiple sources of health and illness, Perro and Adams have collaborated to investigate the conundrum of children’s complex ailments. Their clear-eyed cry for a food-focused ecomedicine urges a rethinking of clinical care and a reorganization of our food industries. Comprehensive and original, this book offers insights for all concerned with our children, our families, and our health.”—Sharon R. Kaufman, PhD, chair, Department of Anthropology, History and Social Medicine, University of California, San Francisco“Children in the United States are sick and getting sicker. Food allergies and sensitivities, digestive problems, and serious behavioral issues are driving parents to distraction. In this important book, pediatrician Michelle Perro and medical anthropologist Vincanne Adams explore Dr. Perro’s clinical case histories and the scientific literature to find out what’s at the root of the problem. They are convinced that our industrialized food is a chief culprit. Pesticides and genetically modified (GM) foods have introduced known and potential toxins into the food supply, turning it into a “slow poison.” Time and again, seemingly intractable health problems in Dr. Perro’s young patients respond well, sometimes almost miraculously, when chemically grown and GM foods are eliminated from the diet and replaced with organic foods. No matter how many of the agrichemical industry’s lobbyists and PR people bombard us with claims that pesticide residues and GMOs in our foods are safe, the experiences of Dr. Perro’s patients are hard to deny and tell a different story. The book is a must-read for health practitioners and parents alike.”—Claire Robinson, editor, GMWatch; coauthor of GMO Myths and Truths“Perro and Adams offer a unique analysis regarding the role industrialized food plays in the decline of our children’s health. What’s Making our Children Sick? provides an uncommon but extraordinary blend of clinical medicine and medical anthropology via an expert, in-depth analysis as to the root cause of this health epidemic, beginning with the gut. Filled with both knowledge and compassion, the authors, on a step-by-step readable journey, reveal how our children have become toxic from the very foods that are purportedly nutritious. This book will have wide readership from those who want to improve their own children’s health to the medical clinics of healthcare providers.”—Dr. Richard Horowitz, bestselling author of How Can I Get Better? An Action Plan for Treating Resistant Lyme and Chronic Disease“A powerful exposé of the science and clinical evidence pointing to our food production system as a key cause of the chronic illnesses affecting so many children. Most importantly, What’s Making Our Children Sick? offers hope and a path forward for how food-focused medicine can heal our bodies and help our families.”—Stacy Malkan, author of Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry“In a world where we are overexposed to thousands of dangerous toxic chemicals, education is key. This book’s clear, comprehensive information is a godsend for parents with sick children, and clinicians in the dark about the cause of the epidemic of chronically ill kids. Bravo to Drs. Perro and Adams for opening our eyes to what’s really going on.”—Beth Greer, bestselling author of Super Natural Home“In this timely book, Perro and Adams explain the powerful role of the gut-brain connection in the crisis we face today with rising rates of autoimmune and neurological diseases among children. Michelle Perro is a clinician who has witnessed firsthand the dramatic recovery patients achieve after they reduce their toxic burden from chemically laden industrial food.”—Stephanie Seneff, PhD, senior research scientist, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory“What role might the techniques and chemicals of industrial agriculture play in the escalating rates of chronic ailments in American children? This vital new book steps the reader through the medicine, policy, and science with the clarity and reasoned insight that scholars of science and medicine have come to expect from Vincanne Adams.”—Julie Livingston, MPH, PhD, professor, New York University; MacArthur Fellow“In this novel work of public scholarship, Vincanne Adams and Michelle Perro instruct us on the devastating embodied cost of industrial food production: complex chronic illness in children. What’s Making Our Children Sick? is an investigation into an urgent public health crisis and an ethnography of the parents and practitioners fighting to change modern medicine.”—Emma Shaw Crane, coeditor of Territories of Poverty: Rethinking North and South

    Book SynopsisIn How to End the Autism Epidemic, Generation Rescue’s co-founder J.B. Handley offers a compelling, science-based explanation of what’s causing the autism epidemic, the lies that enable its perpetuation, and the steps we must take as parents and as a society in order to end it. While many parents have heard the rhetoric that vaccines are safe and effective and that the science is settled about the relationship between vaccines and autism, few realize that in the 1960s, American children received three vaccines compared to the thirty-eight they receive today. Or that when parents are told that the odds of an adverse reaction are “one in a million,” the odds are actually one in fifty. Or that in the 1980s, the rate of autism was one in ten thousand children. Today it’s one in thirty-six. Parents, educators, and social service professionals around the country are sounding an alarm that we are in the midst of a devastating public health crisis—one that corresponds in lockstep with an ever-growing vaccine schedule. Why do our public health officials refuse to investigate this properly—or even acknowledge it? In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Handley confronts and dismantles the most common lies about vaccines and autism. He then lays out, in detail, what the truth actually is: new published science links the aluminium adjuvant used in vaccines to immune activation events in the brains of infants, triggering autism; and there is a clear legal basis for the statement that vaccines cause autism, including previously undisclosed depositions of prominent autism scientists under oath. While Handley’s argument is unsparing, his position is ultimately moderate and constructive: we must continue to investigate the safety of vaccines, we must adopt a position of informed consent, and every individual vaccine must be considered on its own merits. This issue is far from settled. By refusing to engage with parents and other stakeholders in a meaningful way, our public health officials destroy the public trust and enable the suffering of countless children and families.Trade Review“Addressing one of the most urgent issues of our time, J.B. Handley’s book How to End the Autism Epidemic shows us how we got here and what we need to do. It is a must read for every parent and health care professional.”—Zen Honeycutt, Moms Across America“J.B. Handley is arguably the world’s most thoughtful, sophisticated, knowledgeable, and indefatigable activist for children’s health and safety. As a frontline leader for fifteen years, Handley has led the big fistfight against the Pharma Cartel to force the issue, broadcast the science, and expose the lies behind the vaccine policies that have created an epidemic of chronic disease among our children. Handley has helped bring the issue of toxins in medical products and regulatory corruption to a tipping point. Handley’s advocacy has lifted the curtain of lies behind which the autism epidemic has sprouted. When we end this cataclysm, it will be thanks to the dogged character of people like J.B. Handley who have refused to rest in his battle to support parents, protect children, bring justice to injured families, and to punish those responsible for one of the worst scandals in American history. Please read this book and decide for yourself if you still believe that vaccines are ‘safe and effective.’”—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.“I honestly believe J.B. Handley wrote the book that will end the autism epidemic. As I sit here now, in stillness, I want to jump up and down with excitement, but I’m holding back rivers of tears. He breaks down the scientific information in a way that doesn’t intimidate the reader. And he lets us know it’s okay to be angry. His soul, his fight, his love for his son radiates off the pages. Wow. Bravo, bravo.”—Jenny McCarthy, author of Louder Than Words; coauthor of Healing and Preventing Autism “This book is inspired, powerful, the unadulterated truth, and a must read. We have sacrificed too many children at the vaccine altar while our blind belief in the CDC and AAP, government, and the media has prevented us from seeing the conflicts of interest that enable big business and Big Pharma to profit at the expense of our children’s health. How to End the Autism Epidemic is one family’s story, but it is sadly also a story shared by millions of families. A beautiful normal baby, vaccinated, and then lost to autism and all the horrible medical conditions associated with immune devastation and brain toxicity. Thank you, J.B., for sharing your story and wisdom. Parents and future parents: Read this book now, and say No to business as usual and the status quo. If your pediatrician has not yet done his or her own research and is just parroting the ‘vaccines are safe and effective’ marketing phrase, it is time for you to get a new pediatrician.”—Paul Thomas, MD, coauthor of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan and The Addiction Spectrum“I encourage everyone to read How to End the Autism Epidemic, which has the potential to spark a thoughtful and thorough review of how we can stop vaccine injuries among our nation’s children. A dedicated and passionate advocate for medical freedom, J.B. is also a father who has lived the experience no parent would want to endure. His life’s work is making sure everyone gets the information they need and vaccine-injured children and their families get the justice they deserve.”—Tim Knopp, Oregon State Senator“As parents our job is to be concerned about our children’s health. Yet every day in doctors’ offices around the country, American parents are told we are being ‘irresponsible’ or ‘selfish’ just for asking questions about vaccines. We all want to keep our children safe and healthy, both from infectious diseases and from overexposure to toxins. It’s reasonable to be concerned that there are too many vaccines on the schedule and that medications like antibiotics, acetaminophen, and ADHD drugs are being over-prescribed. What’s a worried parent to do? For starters, read this book! Sharing his personal story as the father of a boy with autism and taking a close look at the most recent and rigorous science, Stanford-educated J.B. Handley shows how the CDC’s aggressive childhood vaccine schedule is connected to the astonishing rise in autism in the United States. How to End the Autism Epidemic is a direct challenge to the American public health establishment and a gift to the millions of parents who find themselves caught in the crosshairs—uncertain of what to think or do—of the seemingly intractable debate about vaccines.”—Jennifer Margulis, PhD, author of Your Baby, Your Way; coauthor of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan“I have been thinking about the toxicity of aluminum for thirty-five years. It is my life’s work. Before we completed our recent research on aluminum in brain tissue in autism, I could not see a direct link between human exposure to aluminum and autism. I certainly saw no immediate role for aluminum adjuvants in vaccines in autism. The missing link was a mechanism whereby the brain would be subjected to an acute exposure to aluminum, for example, as occurs in aluminum-induced dialysis encephalopathy. Pro-inflammatory cells, some originating from blood and lymph, heavily loaded with a cargo of aluminum in brain tissue in autism provided that missing link. We all tolerate the toxicity of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines. Unfortunately, some of us are predisposed to suffer, as opposed to tolerate, the toxicity of aluminum adjuvants, and this may cause autism. “Autism is a disease, and it is not inevitable. J.B. Handley’s elegant synthesis of what we know and what we need to know argues that autism could and should be preventable. I agree with him.”—Professor Christopher Exley, PhD, fellow, Royal Society of Biology; professor of bioinorganic chemistry, Keele University“J.B. Handley tells it like it is. His new book is a masterful synthesis of all the latest threads of autism: the controversies, the science, the legal and policy battles, and the human dimension of the ‘movement’ that has inspired so many of us to become parent activists. Peppered with jaw-dropping new developments—including depositions from major vaccine science luminaries—Handley weaves a compelling narrative and cuts through the noise to make a powerful and convincing case. Read it. Process what he’s telling you. And then stand up and do something about it. The health of generations of children is at stake.”—Mark Blaxill, coauthor of The Age of Autism, Vaccines, 2.0, and Denial

    Book SynopsisClinics in Developmental Medicine Health care professionals need to understand their patients’ views of their condition and its effects on their health and well-being. This book builds on the World Health Organization's concepts of 'health', 'functioning' and 'quality of life' for young people with neurodisabilities: it emphasises the importance of engaging with patients in the identification of both treatment goals and their evaluation. Uniquely, it enables health care professionals to find critically reviewed outcomes-related information. The authors are leaders in their respective research fields and discuss theory, concepts, and evidence, and how these are applied in clinical settings and research applications. Readership: Health care professionals working with children and youth with neurological and developmental conditions, wanting to expand their clinical or research horizons. Frontline service providers, health services and social science researchers, clinical program managers and policy makers concerned with ensuring that their clinical or programmatic services are addressing contemporary issues as effectively as possible.
