Healing the Hyperactive Brain : Through the New Science of Functional Medicine (Paperback)

"Healing the Hyperactive Brain: Through the New Science of Functional Medicine" is a book that I have written in response to the desperate cries of so many parents who want to help their children without resorting to Ritalin or other worrisome drugs. This book is intended to provide guidance to parents and adult ADHD sufferers, enabling them to become knowledgeable and proactive in the management of this troublesome condition.

An ever-growing number of parents, teachers and healthcare professionals are demanding safer and better answers for this disturbing and potentially destructive condition. "Healing the Hyperactive Brain" was written to address this need. It is based on my work as a medical researcher and medical educator in the field of ADHD as well as the work of forward thinking researchers and clinicians from around the world. Additionally, this book is biographical as I describe the methods I have used to uncover the causes of ADHD in my own life and my son's life and how I have managed to turn this condition into an important asset in our lives.

"Healing the Hyperactive Brain" is the most comprehensive book ever written about the many factors contributing to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is also an organized and authoritative presentation of the effective, drug-free approach, which is now being taught to healthcare professionals around the world. This approach to managing ADHD:

Carries no risk of doing harm and is free of unpleasant side effects.

Improves ADHD symptoms as well as the person's overall function and quality of life.

Helps to correct the underlying causes of the disorder rather than just suppressing symptoms.

Improves the long-term prognosis for the individual with ADHD.

This book is easily understood by the layperson and yet it is comprehensive enough that physicians wishing to explore science-based, drug-free alternatives will find it to be a valuable resource.
