(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Contrary to popular belief, Dr. Robert Melillo co-founder of the Brain Balance Achievement Centers believes autism can be prevented. In his newly available book Autism, The Scientific Truth About Preventing, Diagnosing, and Treating Autism Spectrum Disorders and What Parents Can Do Now Dr. Melillo provides insight into the autism epidemic and is the first to analyze preconception factors.
He discusses how prenatally parents can take actions to eliminate and modify environmental risk factors that decrease the risk of having a child with autism by analyzing measurable facets of health. His new book disputes the conventional belief and reveals scientific evidence to show that autism is for the most part environmental in nature and stems from our modern style of living.
“The intention of my book is one of hope rather than despair,” explains Dr. Melillo. “I believe there is much we can do to prevent autism, and it starts even before a child is conceived. If there are genetic predispositions toward autism – which evidence suggests there surely are – then it likely is also possible to predict which parents are at risk of having a child with autism.”
Dr. Melillo’s ten-point preconception plan measures all functions necessary to be in optimal health to help lower the risk of autism. From analyzing stress responses and brain health to determining a body’s real age, the comprehensive plan detects irregularities and abnormal levels that when accumulated increase the risk of an autism diagnosis for a child. Dr. Melillo helps parents recognize environmental factors that can harm fetal and young brains, including toxic chemicals that may be considered safe for adults.
With honesty and compassion, Dr. Melillo explains what the latest scientific research tells us about the role of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors, dispelling myths and replacing them with the facts. In addition, he presents early warning signs, a prevention plan for parents-to-be and an intervention program for babies.
Autism, The Scientific Truth About Preventing, Diagnosing, and Treating Autism Spectrum Disorders and What Parents Can Do Now is now available nationwide. Please let me know if you would like to review a copy. To schedule an interview with Dr. Robert Melillo, please contact me directly.
