Dr. Michael Goldberg Knows What Causes Autism

and It Isnt Vaccines!

THE MYTH OF AUTISMHow a Misunderstood Epidemic i s Destroy ing Our Chi ldrenBy Dr. Michael J. Goldberg with Elyse Goldberg

Everyone seems to agree that the United States is currently undergoing an epidemic of what is diagnosed as

autism. But, in the history of society, there has never been an epidemic of any developmental or genetic

disorder. So what is this autism, which has come to affect the lives of so many?

In The Myth of Autism . Dr. Michael Goldberg, the president of the Neuro-Immune Deficiency MedicalAdvisory Board, and his colleagues, illustrate why autism must be a symptom of a treatable, neurological

disease that attacks the brains immune system. Since it is not something truly developmental, it is not

locked in steel from birth and, as a disease, it can and should be treated therapeutically. Through

Goldbergs personal anecdotes, case studies, and original research, readers will come to understand that

autism is:

Not psychological or developmental it is a medical disease Caused by a dysfunction in the neuro-immune system Similar to ADD/ADHD and chronic fatigue in that they all have different labels but

are variations on the same thing: neuro-immune dysfunction

Dr. Goldberg sympathizes with parents who believe that vaccines play some part in an autism diagnoses,

but asserts this only seems to be the case because vaccinations are given at the same period of time in a

modified, could cause the disorder.

Goldberg explains that while a lot of inappropriate focus and attention has been misdirected towards

vaccines, the truth is that the only way that physicians have a real chance of curing and preventing autism is

if we begin to focus on the real problem, which is best understood as a complex immune, complex viral

disease process. Focusing on that disorder can rapidly bring about better efforts at therapy, and, considering

that there has not been ONE recurrence in a high risk family within Dr. Goldbergs practice when following

very strict preventative pediatrics, efforts that could become preventative.

In order to save children from the disease and social stigma of autism, Dr. Goldberg unpacks the mythbehind the illness and provides a wealth of diagnostic and treatment information that will transform the life

of any person, friend, or family member somehow affected by this terrible disease.
