———-———–Show Note———————
Each year, an estimated 1.5 million children are diagnosed with autism, Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. But even as rates rise, diagnosis and treatment have not changed in 50 years. Since psychiatric drugs, given to more than 20% of elementary school children today, don’t cure them, doctors tell parents these dysfunctions will never disappear.
Dr. Melillo discussed his research of childhood neurological disorders and the disconnect from the left and the right side of the brain that occurs in children with these disorders. We talked about his Brain Balance ™ Program to assist children improve without the need for medications.
During the second half of the show Dr. Jeremy Fritz joined me to talk about his work helping families at The Brain Balance ™ Center in Vernon Hills, Illinois.
This is an amazing program that is being taught to educators and parents and used to help hundreds of children.
