Autism is epidemic! In 2015 the Centers for Disease Control reported that 1 in 45 children is identified with autism spectrum disorder. Yet, the phrase Autism Spectrum Disorder is simply a label, the underlying causes of the symptoms are rarely diagnosed. Conventional doctors are unable to help because they are restricted by the guidelines of the American Medical Association. So what is a parent to do? Beating Autism is the personal story of Anne Evans’s struggle to find answers to the cause and cure of her daughter’s condition. Evans left the world of conventional medicine and found not only the source of her daughter’s autism, but clear steps to her complete healing, alternative medicine, allergy elimination and Field Control Therapy. She found a combination therapy which brought about a complete reversal of symptoms and healed her daughter without the use of expensive equipment, pharmaceuticals, or surgery. From that moment on, the Evans family used diet, and Integrated Chinese Medicine (ICM) and Field Control Therapy to diagnose the condition of Sarah’s brain tissue, analyze her dietary needs, detoxify her organs, and boost and redirect her own immune system to fight off invading pathogens without the use of antibiotics or psychotic drugs. Their daughter showed improvement immediately and recovered completely. Beating Autism is the compelling and true story of the Evans’s 3-year struggle battling and overcoming autism. It is a case study that includes full explanations of the weekly drug-free treatments, details of the side effects and their durations, and a complete list of materials, metabolic and psychological tests, laboratories, and clinicians used. For the past 15 years the Evans’ daughter has been fully functional with no signs of the disorder. Find out how you can get your child on a path to recovery and beat autism too.

Why Prove it Again Alternative Proofs in Mathematical Practice


Free Download Why Prove it Again?: Alternative Proofs in Mathematical Practice by John W. Dawson, Jr.
English | PDF (True) | 2015 | 209 Pages | ISBN : 3319173677 | 5 MB
This monograph considers several well-known mathematical theorems and asks the question, "Why prove it again?" while examining alternative proofs. It explores the different rationales mathematicians may have for pursuing and presenting new proofs of previously established results, as well as how they judge whether two proofs of a given result are different. While a number of books have examined alternative proofs of individual theorems, this is the first that presents comparative case studies of other methods for a variety of different theorems.
