Free "Gut and Psychology Syndrome" book

"Gut and Psychology Syndrome" is an extremely enlightening book written by a doctor and mom of a child diagnosed with autism. It explores the connection between the digestive system and immune system and how an unhealthy gut can contribute to the many learning disabilities and mental issues that children have today, including autism, ADD, depression, etc.

Here is a quick description of the book:

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride set up The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic in 1998. As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning difficulties, she was acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realised that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field.
Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders. Her book "Gut and Psychology Syndrome" captures her experience and knowledge, incorporating her most recent work.
She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work have supported her position on this subject. In her clinic, parents discuss all aspects of their child's condition, confident in the knowledge that they are not only talking to a professional but to a parent who has lived their experience. Her deep understanding of the challenges they face, puts her advice in a class of it's own.
About the Author
Natasha Campbell-McBride holds a Degree in Medicine and Postgraduate Degrees in both Neurology and Human Nutrition. In her clinic in Cambridge she specialises in Nutrition for Children and Adults with Behavioural and Learning Disabilities, and Adults with Digestive and Immune System Disorders. Her son was diagnosed with autism.

This book was very eye opening for me, and I learned alot from it. I have implemented many things that are talked about in this book with my son. I would like to pass it on to someone else who can get use out of it.

So, if you are interested in this book, please click on the follow button to follow my blog or post a comment and mention that you would like to have it. On December 30th, I will randomly choose someone to receive this book. It does have alot of earmarks and some markings because I found so many parts of it that interested me that I liked to look back on, but it is definitely in good readable condition still. It retails for $30, so you will definitely be saving some money! Please make sure to check back as I will be posting the winner after December 30th. Thank you for your interest!
