THE NEMECHEK PROTOCOL FOR AUTISM AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS: A How-To Guide For Restoring Neurological Function Paperback – 4 Sept. 2017

This book is ground breaking and should be read by every doctor to understand how modern industrialised diets are affecting the bacteria in the intestines in turn affecting development of children's brains. Dr Nemechek explains in simple terms how this happens and how to counteract those affected with developmental disorders and ASD with cheap supplements easily available in shops. Since my 6 year old autistic son started on Dr Nemechek's treatment on 27th April, I have been greatly encouraged by tiny signs that he is "waking up" as described in the book. My boy has gone from being monosyllabic to showing a greater interest in the world and other children. He has starting chatting (albeit like a 2 year old) and having short conversations. He also wants to interact more and his sensory issues have improved. It is early days yet but looking positive. It won't work for all but definitely worth a try. Just make sure you follow Dr Nemechek's instructions to the letter, making sure you buy genuine products, especially what he advises on extra virgin olive oil. This book makes absolute sense. I've been so impressed, I have given copies of this book to my son's school, his doctor and carer. The medical world should be paying attention to this. It may not be a cure but I think it is on a par to the treatment of diabetes with insulin (started in the 1920s. ) It was revolutionary in its day. Medical world, please pay attention and put Dr Nemechek's Protocol to the test asap. On a separate but related topic, I also read about the dramatic effects that FMT had helping children with ASD. Search the internet for Arizona State University on this topic. It also talks about how treating the microbiome (gut bacteria) helped 47% of children in their study reduce their symptoms. I will update my review in a few month's time (if allowed) and will state if my son's condition improved or not. Watch this space. October 2019 update - after six months, my son is just thriving on the Nemechek Protocol. The words are spilling out and he cannot stop talking to family members. We are still a long way off from a totally cured child. My son still finds it really difficult talking with other children. Eye contact is really difficult and he is painfully shy still. But when we are in shops and restaurants, he is more confident paying for goods or speaking to staff. Only time will tell if he can overcome his chronic shyness. I will keep you updated in another few months time. June 2020 update - Good news, Now seven years old, my son has become a little bit bolder at school and talking to other children, albeit in very short spells. (He still prefers his own company most of the time). He attended school during the lockdown. The fact that the school had far fewer pupils at that time definitely helped. The quieter environment has made a big difference. My boy even asked if he could play football with the others. His speech has vastly improved and now at the level of a four year old. He is still having sensory issues such as coping with noise and lining things up. He is also going through the "terrible twos" but that is part of the "awakening" that Dr Nemechek's talks about. My son is more engaging however and we are very pleased with his progress. He is even doing imaginative play with his toys. We have changed our son's diet and ours by cooking from scratch and reducing the amount of processed food and I am convinced this has played a part too. The more you research about autism the more you find that diet and environment play a major part. Also read Dr Josh Axe's book "Eat Dirt" about "Leaky Gut" . A lot of this echoes Dr Nemechek's views . I will update this post in a few months time. 15th September 2021 A lot has happened since my last update. My son had a setback in September 2020 (last year) when the school returned with all the pupils back not just the few. It was a far noisier and distracting environment than he had been used to and the staff thought he might need to go to a special needs school there and then. It was disappointing. We re-read Dr Nemechek's book for advice which explains how to address setbacks by resetting the volumes of supplements. It took a few weeks but slowly my son settled down. We also employed a private tutor at weekends because our son has lost concentration and had fallen so far behind in class. This one to one tuition really helped. We also employed some of the techniques in Dr Robert Melilo's Disconnected Kids book to get your child to get their senses to co-ordinate together better which helped dampen his sound-sensitivity. We also made an extra effort to cut out the processed foods which had crept up over the holidays. Because my son was older, it took a bit longer to get over the setback. We also made sure he got more exercise, kicking a ball or going on his trampoline. Now aged eight, our son's vocabulary is now that of a six year old, he reads beautifully and very fluently like a seven year old. His confidence has grown and albeit he still has social anxiety, he finds it a lot more manageable. He has not been cured of autism but I do believe he would not have progressed as well as he has without the Nemechek Protocol.

I've been a loyal follower of dr Nemecheck's work for a while now. I have a 4 year old SPD/Dypraxic Late Talker with hearing loss. We knew something more than just hearing loss was impacting his speech so we were gutted to learn he also had a oral and verbal dyspraxia. I've been giving him a probiotic with omega 3's since he was 1 but when dr Nemecheck suggested in his book dropping multivitamins and probiotics and replacing it with inulin - a prebiotic also added to infant formula I was excited. I knew he had a problem with his gut because he had colic as a baby/reflux and throwing up a lot! Three weeks after I started the inulin the awakening period started. He was switched on and tried to talk to us. Gone are the accidents during the day and he was now dry during the day. He also kept his hearing aids in all day which was unprecedented. Could dealing with the SIBO caused all of this? Yes - the inulin succeeded for us where the probiotics failed. We are now 1.5 months into the protocol and he is happier/less tantrums and the language is improving. Like dr Nemecheck says - you will not reverse the developmental delay overnight but now normal neural pruning has started he can start catching up. thank you for putting this in the public domain.

Superb, significant, inspiring book -a wonderful voice on the Audible App, it’s really great to listen to.It’s such a good book to refer to that I’ve bought the paper version too.

My 3 1/2 year old grandson was officially diagnosed with autism in October 2017. At the time he was non-verbal, slept fitfully and his diet was limited to goats milk. We started the Nemechek Protocol in early December 2017. It is now 24 Jan 2018 and Henry just told me “Put down phone Grammy”. He is eating (granted it’s a weird collection of items), he just slept from 8pm to 7am without waking once (if you haven’t been sleep deprived for 3 years you don’t know what a miracle this is) and is well on his way to being potty trained. And all due to small amounts of 3 ordinary foods. I understand that the Nemechek Protocol doesn’t work for every child (in which case go to the Treat Autism Canada website - they have extensive alternatives detailed there) but for this little boy it has been little short of a miracle.

This protocol is amazing. It can be tricky finding the right amounts (it gives a guide by age in the book) but you really have to keep trying with the inulin until you see the awakening but when you do it’s just the best feeling!!Dr Nemechek is just an amazing man.It’s all natural, good quality supplements that don’t cost the earth.Give it a try parents, you might just be amazed!!

This is book for all of us, not just for your child developmental issues. Opens your eyes and now everything makes sense. Explains that never been explained before!

I need to exchange items

This book is everything I hoped it would be. Following the protocol and seeing life changing results in our toddler. It is a simple protocol with simple steps but with real science and slow steady results! There are facebook groups and YouTube videos for additional support if needed if you look for them. Heal the gut - heal the mind and this book explains how and why.

I am a strong believer in this protocol. We have used this protocol with our toddler that got sick shortly after birth and as a result has a brain injury. Since starting the protocol we have seen a lot of progress with her milestones, I recommend this to everyone.Plus it’s not something that is invasive and not harmful in any way. Definitely worth a try if you’re considering.

Amazing book . Suggestion has caused mild changes in my child . Started following since a week

It sounds so woowoo when you read about what little is actually needed to start the healing journey. But if you read the science it makes so much sense and shows how key nutrients support the incredibly resilient body. My 3 year old son has been on the NP for 4 months and it has played an integral role in bringing my va((ine injured son back. Within three days he was speaking in full sentences and making eye contact and today he is talking so much and so clearly, telling jokes, socializing appropriately, and thriving in every area of life. I have no doubt that there are so many other effective healing protocols for children in need but if people want to start somewhere NP is affordable, accessible, and so easy to implement.My only issue with NP is that it does not address the heavy metal toxicity in our children and it’s rigidity on avoiding this detox leaves a lot of parents worried one of the root causes is not being addressed. I hope NP gets the notoriety it much deserves and that good doctors and scientists can take a conservative approach to address this issue too. Dr. Nemechek truly cares about healing children and this protocol has been one of the greatest endeavors we’ve taken on. I can finally sleep more peacefully at night when thinking about my son’s future and his quick and beautiful turnaround is a testament to the Nemechek Protocol.

Ich war anfangs sehr sehr skeptisch aber die Wissenschaft hinter Dr Nemecheks Idee ist einfach erklärt und aufschlussreich! Ich empfehle jedem, der das Buch liest und das Protokoll ausprobieren möchte, sich der Facebook Gruppe "the nemechek protocol autism and developmental disorders support group" anzuschließen. Da kann man konkrete Anweisungen bekommen, wie viel Inulin, EVOO und Omega 3 man verabreichen sollte. Ich bin froh, das wir das Protokoll ausprobiert haben; unser Kind ist innerhalb von nur wenigen Monaten fast wie vor seiner Regression! Was man allerdings beachten sollte, ist das Inulin für manche Kinder völlig ungeeignet und überhaupt nicht harmlos ist..also gilt hier auch: immer erst mit dem Kinderarzt besprechen!

Very informative. Nice to know. Easy to understand.
