There is HOPE! While researching everything I could, I happened to come across the Healing Without Hurting Facebook page. My son, who is 7, was dx with ADHD, ASD, and ODD. We have been on this journey to figure out what was going on with him since he was 4. As he got older, the behavior became worse, the sensory issues became worse (even with OT), we were in behavior therapy, and we finally turned to the gut-wrenching decision to begin medication. That was one of the most difficult days of my life as his Mama. We have seen a slight difference in him since beginning meds, but for our family, this was not the answer. After reading through Jenn's fb page, seeing all of her posts, I finally decided to dig deeper and request additional testing for our son. No easy task...finding a dr who will do this. But I did and so that journey began. As results began coming in, I decided it was time to really move forward with this. I bought Healing Without Hurting...I couldn't put it down! Seriously! The information in this book is worth every penny and more! I have requested even more testing be done because I am convinced that with the correct supplements and proper diet change, my son will be a different child....and med free! One of the results that came back from his tests is that his is sensitive to peanuts and wheat....mind you, we had his allergist test him (scratches on his back) and the result was NEGATIVE for any food allergies! Yet there it was...when the correct tests are done, you will find that there actually are food sensitivities! We also found out he has Celiac Disease! WOAH! Totally not expecting that! BUT...(and hear is the part that is so exciting) - we had a med check up with his psychiatrist yesterday. She said she wanted to add an additional medication to his "cocktail" - I told her about the Celiac....she was shocked - her exact words "Well, that changes everything. We won't be adding a stimulant, just change his diet and I'll see you in 3 months...if we see an improvement (and I think we will) then we will begin to ween him off of his current meds." DID YOU HEAR THAT?!?! My son - ADHD, ASD, and ODD...may be getting weened off his meds in 3 months!!!!! PLEASE GET THIS BOOK!! PLEASE FIND A DR WHO WILL LISTEN TO YOU! I cannot thank Jenn enough for her information on her fb page and this book that she has put so much time and effort into! It has been life changing! Our family has hope again! Our boy WILL be well again! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! Go to Amazon

A Handbook for Living Safely in a Toxic World Have you ever been treated by a doctor like your child is just a number? Have you been told "that's just the way it is?" and know that you and your child deserve better treatment? This book will treat you the way you know you should be treated. Life is a series of decisions and outcomes - as every parent knows. Parents of kids with autism are keenly aware of this, because decision-making is one of the toughest challenges. Decisions are best made by well-informed adults, and Jennifer Guistra-Kozek's profoundly informative book, "Healing Without Hurting" can turn you into an expert parent. Half of good decision-making is knowing what the options are, and Guistra-Kozek has laid out the options for most of the decisions a parent of an autistic child must make with respect to addressing the symptoms of autism. We do not yet have clinical trials of the myriad possible combinations of "treatments" for autism, but Guistra-Kozek provides the next best thing: detailed, expert review of what the natural options are. Since the number of toxins that likely contribute to autism risk are large and diverse, one would think that a book with the title "Healing Without Hurting" would be restricted to general guidelines and advice. This book is so rich with science-backed insight, it will give you a master's degree level understanding of the WHYs of the strategies, based on facts. It is so comprehesive in scope and so practical that it seems like a handbook for living in a toxic world. Pediatricians should hand parents of newly diagnosed with autism this book, until the medical community gets to business of working out how to prevent autism either cleaner vaccines, biomarkers to keep those at risk out of harm's way, or treatment that mitigate the uptake of toxins into the brain. I cannot emphasize how much all parents of kids with autism will love this book! Request one for your local library, and buy one for your pediatrician! Go to Amazon

It was beautifully written and very informative I've read countless books on ADHD and SPD, and this was the first that I could not put down!! It was beautifully written and very informative. This story of hope helped me start a list of all the tests and options to help our son. I work in educational advocacy and have been recommending this book like crazy. Excellent resource, get out your highlighters!! Go to Amazon

this is one of the finest books I have read among an estimated 150 books ... As a pediatrician newly board certified in Integrative Pediatrics after 31 years in traditional pediatric practice and 11 years in academic medicine, this is one of the finest books I have read among an estimated 150 books I have read since discovering Functional Medicine just 5 years or so ago. The author kindly gave me a copy of the book at a recent meeting, and I just got around to reading it. I can hardly put it down. As a co-author myself of a book on ADD (The Diseasing of America's Children), I am in awe at the quality of the material and the writing in this book. The author combines telling a "story" while at the same time offering a remarkably broad, concise look at the foundational precepts now known to contribute to the epidemics of ASD, ADD/ADHD, and related clinical syndromes. Furthermore, references to high quality sources and links to valuable online resources are provided the reader. This is my belated "thank you" to Jennifer Kozek for giving me this book at Autism One in Chicago in May. Parents of children affected by chronic "mental health", behavioral, and unexplained medical problems will find this to be an extraordinarily valuable work.. Go to Amazon
