Utilizing the collective understanding derived from scores of his successfully treated and presented dyslexic patients - typical of over 35,000 highly informative others, a world renowned neuropsychiatric pioneer provides readers with the first and only comprehensive solution to the century-old riddles and misconceptions characterizing this previously misunderstood disorder.

Now estimated at affecting well over 20% of the world population - involving more than 40 million Americans, Dr. Levinson's groundbreaking insights within this newly updated and revised work irrefutably demonstrate:

• Dyslexia is a syndrome encompassing hundreds of diverse symptoms and differently named disorders - all resulting from a simple signal-scrambling dysfunction within the inner-ear and its supercomputer, the cerebellum.
• Rapid, dramatic and wide ranging improvements occur when dyslexic children and adults are holistically treated with safe combinations of inner-ear-enhancing medications, nutrients and non-medical techniques similar to that used by astronauts to prevent "space dyslexia."

Initially supported by Nobel Prize cerebellar neurophysiologist Sir John Eccles and outstanding others, Dr. Levinson's highly original discoveries have now been independently validated and referenced worldwide. As a result of this book's continuously upgraded and expanding "life-saving" content - scientifically considered "decades ahead of its time," it is now possible for countless millions of smart but dumb feeling dyslexics to feel as bright as they really are and to attain dreams and ambitions that otherwise might never be theirs. Indeed, cures and prevention now lurk within out scientific horizons.

REVIEWS:

“A book of major importance...Dr. Levinson is to be commended for his persistence in challenging the old ideas, providing new solutions, and explaining them so clearly.”

-- Dr. Norman G. Walker, Chairman of the Curriculum and Supervision Department of the State University of New York at Buffalo


“A much needed book for the many thousands of persons with learning disabilities...should be most useful to parents and teachers who wish to help children and adults with inappropriate learning behavior.”

-- Eli Tash, Director of Reasearch at the St. Francis Children's Activity & Achievement Center in Milwaukee, Wisconson


“This book should be on the required reading list of every student entering teaching as a profession. Levinson tells us the real reason Johnny can't read and why there is often comorbid ADD, anxiety, depression, stuttering, memory difficulties, stomach upsets, soiling, bed wetting, nightmares, fatigue, tics, klutziness, or motion sickness in the learning disabled child. A must read for any parent concerned with their child's school performance and emotional well being.

Levinson deserves a Noble prize in medicine for tracing these educational and "emotional" difficulties to a physical problem, an inner-ear dysfunction. Forty million Americans have some inner-ear damage.

If you, yourself, have trouble with light sensitivity, foreground/background noise blending, or phobias of any kind, this book is also for you. Levinson offers medical advice on treating the inner-ear problem, sometimes with simple over the counter vestibular medications.”
