Journey, a Physician's Approach by Dr. Mary Ann Block
No More Ritalin In her breakthrough book, Dr. Mary Ann Block shows why Ritalin may be extremely dangerous to your child's health and why the condition known as ADHD can and should be treated through safer and more effective means. Her revolutionary method is based on the belief that you can't treat the problem until you identify the underlying causes of ADHD. These include: hypoglycemia, allergies, environmental factors and hyperthyroidism. Using actual case histories from her clinic Mary offers powerful evidence that a drug-free approach works. She also identifies how food allergies and other diet-related problems can play a key role in a child's learning ability and behavior; and how these conditions can be corrected through nutrition and dietary modification. Dr. Mary Ann Block is a licensed osteopathic physician who started this extraordinary journey as an ordinary mother trying to cure her sick child. When establishment medical techniques failed, and actually made the situation worse, she decided to make her daughter well without drugs. She succeeded with the help of an osteopathic physician and at the age of thirty-nine enrolled in medical school so she could help others like her daughter. She is the founder of the Block Center, a medical facility for adults and children with chronic health problems in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
