"We are living within an epidemic of autism spectrum disorders, and the few doctors knowledgeable in the biomedicine of autism have long waiting lists of anxious parents. The diagnostic and treatment protocols described in Children with Starving Brains provide an excellent guideline for physicians wanting to understand autism's emerging biomedical approach and for parents whose children are likely to be helped. The book is heartfelt, practical, and scientifically sound. I consider it required reading."

"What an invaluable map through the intricate maze of autism! Children with Starving Brains will empower all who are willing to proactively explore the promising new biomedical treatments for their ASD child or patient. I thank you for personally guiding my granddaughter through the complex minefield of autism. She has made wonderful progress…Starving Brains is certain to become the resource that families around the world will turn to as we all face the enormous challenge of healing our children."

"Children with Starving Brains" is much more than a book about autism. The sound methodologies presented by Dr. McCandless for ameliorating neurological symptoms are relevant for a broad array of children with brain injuries, regardless of etiology. Clearly evaluation for metabolic, nutritional, viral and heavy metal toxicity issues may lead to better health solutions for many children with neurological challenges. Highly readable, highly recommended
