Is there a general overview of the scientific claims made in this book somewhere? It sounds somewhat promising, but the table of contents doesn't exactly inspire confidence that the information is accurate. Additionally, I can't find any reviews online about this that don't look like shills for the book itself.

I'll be honest, I'm a layman and don't know. There are loads of Amazon reviews, but I agree not the best source and could be shills. I read the book and not too much seems crazy or out there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D8N6HBM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D8N6HBM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?...

A rather fascinating article on Dr. Kharrazian was saved by the internet archive here: https://web.archive.org/web/20130924001750/http://sciencequestionswithchris.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/how-can-i-tell-if-a-doctor-is-a-quack https://web.archive.org/web/20130924001750/http://scienceque... "Having read his book in full [“Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Tests are Normal"], visited one of his practitioners, and assembled the above lists of fraud indicators, I can solidly claim that Dr. Kharrazian is a quack." -- Dr. Christopher S. Baird But note: Dr Baird deleted this article shortly after it was written in 2013.

  >But note: Dr Baird deleted this article shortly after it was written in 2013. Doesn't that invalidate his claim if he had retracted it?

    Deletion doesn't necessarily mean retraction. As far as I know, only a retraction strictly means retraction. The article makes plenty of factual claims that remain factual whether the article is published or merely preserved. Like: "autism is caused by genetic mutations, not “vaccines” or “leaky gut” as [Kharrazian] states on p.327 and 409." And sure enough: [“Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Tests are Normal“] searchable at Amazon does indeed have the claim that autism might be a result of immune system reaction to vaccine. Sure sounds like a quack. https://www.amazon.com/Still-Thyroid-Symptoms-Tests-Normal/dp/0985690402 https://www.amazon.com/Still-Thyroid-Symptoms-Tests-Normal/d...

  Thanks, this is the type of thing I was looking for. Doesn't inspire confidence in his book about the brain.
